Le pack ainsi considéré comprend une partie inférieure 10 sur laquelle reposent les pots 2 par leur partie inférieure 3, deux parties latérales 11 constituées par les panneaux latéraux 8 respectivement et une partie supérieure 12 reposant sur la face supérieure des pots 2 de leur partie supérieure 4. Dans le pack, l'enveloppe réalisée à partir du flanc 1 est fermée sur elle-même, les deux parties extrêmes du flanc étant solidarisées l'une à l'autre par collage, soudage, accrochage mécanique ou autre.The pack thus considered comprises a lower part 10 on which the pots 2 rest by their lower part 3, two lateral parts 11 constituted by the side panels 8 respectively and an upper part 12 resting on the upper face of the pots 2 from their upper part 4 In the pack, the envelope made from the sidewall 1 is closed on itself, the two end parts of the sidewall being secured to one another by gluing, welding, mechanical attachment or the like.

La partie inférieure 10 est soit pleine , ainsi qu'il est représenté, soit pourvue de trous de réception des pots 2 (non représenté).The lower part 10 is either full, as shown, or provided with holes for receiving the pots 2 (not shown).

Dans la forme considérée sur la figure 1, la partie inférieure 10 est constituée par le panneau central 7. La partie supérieure 12 est constituée par les deux panneaux d'extrémité 9 superposés et solidarisés l'un à l'autre. En particulier, l'un des panneaux d'extrémité 9, supérieur et extérieur recouvre la totalité des pots en allant d'un panneau latéral 8 à l'autre tandis que l'autre panneau d'extrémité 9, placé en dessous du précédent, est de plus courte longueur et est destiné à la solidarisation avec le premier panneau d'extrémité cité. Pour contribuer au calage des pots, il est prévu des découpes 20 situées dans les panneaux latéraux 8b au voisinage des lignes de pliage avec les panneaux d'extrémité 9. Les collerettes 5 des pots coopèrent avec des découpes.In the form considered in Figure 1, the lower part 10 is constituted by the central panel 7. The upper part 12 is constituted by the two end panels 9 superimposed and secured to one another. In particular, one of the upper and outer end panels 9 covers all of the pots, going from one side panel 8 to the other, while the other end panel 9, placed below the previous one, is shorter in length and is intended for attachment to the first end panel cited. To contribute to the setting of the pots, there are provided cutouts 20 located in the side panels 8b in the vicinity of the fold lines with the end panels 9. The flanges 5 of the pots cooperate with cutouts.

La partie inférieure 10 peut être réalisée à partir de deux panneaux solidarisés l'un à l'autre, auquel cas la partie supérieure 12 est réalisée en un panneau unique.The lower part 10 can be made from two panels secured to one another, in which case the upper part 12 is made from a single panel.

Dans la variante représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, les panneaux latéraux 8 sont en deux sous-panneaux articulés l'un à l'autre, à savoir un panneau 8a attenant au panneau central 7 et un panneau 8b attenant à un panneau d'extrémité 9. Il est prévu dans le panneau 8a des découpes 21 en forme de croissant avec enlèvement de matière avec lesquelles coopèrent la face latérale des pots, sensiblement en regard des moyens de calage décrits ultérieurement.In the variant shown in Figures 1 and 2, the side panels 8 are in two sub-panels hinged to each other, namely a panel 8a adjoining the central panel 7 and a panel 8b adjoining a panel end 9. There are provided in the panel 8a crescent-shaped cutouts 21 with removal of material with which cooperate the side face of the pots, substantially opposite the wedging means described later.

Sur l'un au moins des panneaux -en l'occurence sur le panneau central 7- ou sur la partie inférieure 10 sont prévues des lignes de découpe et des lignes de pliage qui délimitent, dans ledit panneau 7 ou dans ladite partie 10, des moyens de calage 13.On at least one of the panels - in this case on the central panel 7 - or on the lower part 10 are provided cutting lines and folding lines which delimit, in said panel 7 or in said part 10, wedging means 13.

Ces moyens de calage 13 peuvent se trouver soit à plat c'est-à-dire dans le plan même du flanc 1 lorsqu'il celui-ci est à plat, avant montage, soit en saillie par rapport au dit panneau 7 ou à ladite partie 10 lorsqu'ils sont déployés, les moyens de calage 13 étant dépliables grâce auxdites lignes de pliage.These wedging means 13 can be either flat, that is to say in the same plane of the sidewall 1 when the latter is flat, before mounting, or projecting from said panel 7 or said part 10 when they are deployed, the wedging means 13 being unfoldable thanks to said fold lines.

Dans leur situation en saillie, les moyens de calage 13 assurent ou participent au calage des pots 2 notamment dans leur partie inférieure 3.In their projecting position, the wedging means 13 ensure or participate in the wedging of the pots 2, in particular in their lower part 3.

Selon l'invention, le panneau central 7 ou la partie inférieure 10 comporte un ou une série de moyens de calage 13 disposés symétriquement par rapport à une ligne de symétrie médiane longitudinale 6 parallèle aux lignes de pliage 30 des panneaux 7, 8, 9. Chaque moyen de calage 13 assure ou participe au calage des deux pots en regard et comprend :

  • une paroi de calage 14 dont les deux bords longitudinaux 15 opposés s'étendant en direction générale axiale sont conformés pour épouser, en position déployée de la paroi de calage 14, deux pots en regard par leur face latérale ;
  • une paroi support 16 attenante au panneau central le long d'une première ligne de pliage transversale 17 et de laquelle est attenante, à l'opposée, la paroi de calage 14 le long d'une seconde ligne de pliage transversale 18 ;
  • deux volets de calage 19 attenants aux bords longitudinaux 15 de la paroi support 16 le long de la ligne de pliage 22.
According to the invention, the central panel 7 or the lower part 10 comprises one or a series of wedging means 13 arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal median line of symmetry 6 parallel to the fold lines 30 of the panels 7, 8, 9. Each wedging means 13 ensures or participates in the wedging of the two facing pots and comprises:
  • a wedging wall 14, the two opposite longitudinal edges 15 of which extend in a generally axial direction are shaped so as to marry, in the deployed position of the wedging wall 14, two pots facing each other by their lateral face;
  • a support wall 16 adjoining the central panel along a first transverse fold line 17 and from which is contiguous, opposite, the wedging wall 14 along a second transverse fold line 18;
  • two wedging flaps 19 adjoining the longitudinal edges 15 of the support wall 16 along the fold line 22.

Les bords longitudinaux 15 conformés de la paroi de calage 14 sont incurvés à convexité tournée vers le centre de ladite paroi 14. La paroi support 16 a une forme générale trapézoïdale isocèle dont la grande base est la ligne de pliage 17 avec le panneau central 7 et la petite base est la ligne de pliage 18 avec la paroi de calage 14. Les lignes de pliage 22 des volets de calage 19 sont rectilignes. Chaque volet de calage 19 a sensiblement une forme de triangle rectangle. La ligne de pliage 17 de la paroi support 16 par rapport au panneau central 7 est située à proximité d'un bord transversal 23 dudit panneau central 7.The shaped longitudinal edges 15 of the wedging wall 14 are curved with convexity turned towards the center of said wall 14. The support wall 16 has a generally isosceles trapezoidal shape whose large base is the fold line 17 with the central panel 7 and the small base is the fold line 18 with the wedging wall 14. The fold lines 22 of the wedge flaps 19 are rectilinear. Each wedging flap 19 has substantially the shape of a right triangle. The fold line 17 of the support wall 16 relative to the central panel 7 is located near a transverse edge 23 of said central panel 7.

On comprend de la description qui précède que la paroi de calage 14 comprend un bord libre transversal 24 à l'opposé de la ligne de pliage 18 avec la paroi support 16.It will be understood from the above description that the wedging wall 14 comprises a transverse free edge 24 opposite the fold line 18 with the support wall 16.

On voit sur la figure 2 que le panneau central 7 forme, à l'endroit des moyens de calage 13, une découpe 25 et une ligne de pliage délimitant une sorte de T dont le pied va en s'évasant.It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the central panel 7 forms, at the location of the wedging means 13, a cutout 25 and a fold line delimiting a sort of T whose foot is flared.

Dans le pack une fois monté, la paroi de calage 14 est placée sensiblement dans le plan où se trouve les découpes 21 du panneau 8a. Les pots sont ainsi maintenus de part et d'autre par les moyens de calage 13 et la découpe 21, les moyens de calage formant entretoises. La paroi support 16 fait, avec le panneau central 7, un angle compris entre 15 et 50 degrés.In the pack once mounted, the wedging wall 14 is placed substantially in the plane where the cutouts 21 of the panel 8a is located. The pots are thus held on either side by the wedging means 13 and the cutout 21, the wedging means forming spacers. The support wall 16 makes, with the central panel 7, an angle between 15 and 50 degrees.

Les lignes de pliage dudit flanc 1 peuvent être réalisées par découpage et rainurage. Il n'y a donc ni enlèvement ni apport de matière. Le stockage des flancs à plat en est facilité et cette caractéristique est favorable tant du point de vue économique que du point de vue de la résistance du pack et enfin constitue une aide pour le montage.The fold lines of said sidewall 1 can be produced by cutting and grooving. There is therefore neither removal nor addition of material. The storage of the flat sidewalls is facilitated and this characteristic is favorable both from the economic point of view and from the point of view of the strength of the pack and finally constitutes an aid for assembly.

Dans une variante de réalisation, le pack selon l'invention comporte plusieurs couches de pots superposées, à savoir une couche supérieure 31 et une couche inférieure 32.In an alternative embodiment, the pack according to the invention comprises several layers of superimposed pots, namely an upper layer 31 and a lower layer 32.

A cet effet, le pack à une couche précédemment décrit est pourvu, sur la partie supérieure 12, de lignes de découpe et de pliage délimitant des moyens de calage 33 qui sont identiques aux moyens de calage prévus dans la partie inférieure 13 et qui assurent le calage de la couche supérieure 31 de pots vers leur partie inférieure.To this end, the pack with one layer previously described is provided, on the upper part 12, with cutting and folding lines delimiting wedging means 33 which are identical to the wedging means provided in the lower part 13 and which ensure the wedging the upper layer 31 of pots towards their lower part.

Un flanc supérieur 34 est destiné à former avec la partie supérieure 12 du pack à une couche, une enveloppe tubulaire supérieure entourant la couche supérieure 31. A cet effet, le flanc supérieur 34 comporte une autre partie supérieure 35 et deux parties latérales 36 attenant à l'autre partie supérieure 35.An upper flank 34 is intended to form, with the upper part 12 of the pack in one layer, an upper tubular envelope surrounding the upper layer 31. For this purpose, the upper flank 34 comprises another upper part 35 and two lateral parts 36 adjoining the other upper part 35.

On ferme ainsi l'enveloppe tubulaire supérieure de la couche supérieure 31 en solidarisant les extrémités du flanc supérieur 34 aux parties latérales 11 du pack à une couche. Si le pack à une couche comporte des découpes 20 destinées à contribuer au calage de la couche inférieure 32 de pots, les parties latérales 36 du flanc supérieur 34 comportent des découpes 37 disposées de sorte qu'elles coincident avec les découpes 20 du pack à une couche, lorsque l'enveloppe tubulaire supérieure est fermée.The upper tubular casing of the upper layer 31 is thus closed by securing the ends of the upper flank 34 to the lateral parts 11 of the pack at a layer. If the single-layer pack has cutouts 20 intended to help wedge the lower layer 32 of pots, the lateral parts 36 of the upper flank 34 have cutouts 37 arranged so that they coincide with the cutouts 20 of the pack at a layer, when the upper tubular casing is closed.

Pour contribuer au calage de la couche supérieure 31, il est prévu dans la variante à deux couches, des découpes 38 situées dans la partie supérieure 35 au voisinage des lignes de pliage avec les parties latérales 36.To contribute to the setting of the upper layer 31, there are provided in the two-layer variant, cutouts 38 located in the upper part 35 in the vicinity of the fold lines with the lateral parts 36.
