Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a device for packaging bulk products, in particular confectionery products and in particular chocolates, cookies or the like, these products being arranged individually in cells of said packaging device, in which these cells are defined by individual cups fixed removably on a base support of this device.
  • Certain fragile and delicate confectionery products such as for example chocolates, cookies, petit fours, fruit pastes, etc., which are packaged in cardboard boxes, are presented individually in blisters made of thermoformed sheets of synthetic material. or in independent cups placed in these boxes.
  • thermoformed cells allows, in some cases, an automated canning by means of a filling robot.
  • this mode of presentation is not always appropriate because it does not meet all the criteria and standards for filling rates or certain ecological regulations with regard to the use of synthetic materials.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome this drawback by implementing a method and by producing a packaging device comprising individual cups for the packaging and presentation of bulk products, these products being able to be placed automatically by an appropriate robot. .
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the cups are fixed to the base support by a stamping producing an impression in three dimensions, carried out simultaneously on these two elements.
  • said stamping is carried out by means of a punch whose end has a profile making it possible to produce said imprint in three dimensions and by a matrix whose end has a profile complementary to that of punch.
  • Each cup is preferably gripped by suction of air through a bore made in the punch and connected to a suction pump.
  • said imprint can have the form of a rack or a personalized logo.
  • the packaging device is characterized in that the individual cups and the base support are equipped with fixing means allowing their connection in a removable manner, these means comprise a three-dimensional impression produced by stamping of the cup and the support.
  • the pleated paper cups have a frustoconical shape and are generally widely flared at their upper edge.
  • the juxtaposition of these cups in a box before the introduction of the products in these cups, does not allow a very tight filling of the box because of their geometric shape.
  • they are very light and it is almost impossible to precisely position them when empty.
  • such positioning is essential for automatic filling to be possible.
  • the method of fixing the cups consists in creating a mechanical connection between said cup and the support.
  • This mechanical connection can be achieved by profiled stampings made simultaneously on the bottom of the cup and the support, so as to achieve a mechanical coupling of these two elements.
  • stamping can be carried out by means of a tool which moves perpendicularly relative to the bottom of the cup previously placed on the support and which makes a three-dimensional imprint both on this bottom and on this support. In this way, these two elements are mechanically linked, but this connection is relatively loose and allows the consumer to take the cup.
  • the profile can have different shapes which will be described in more detail below.
  • the packaging device 10 consists of a cardboard box 11 in which are arranged a number of cups 12 intended to receive confectionery items such as chocolates, fondants, fruit pastes , cookies etc.
  • the empty cups are fixed by means of a removable connection to the bottom of the box 11 so that the consumer can detach them and remove them from the box with the product they contain, without tearing them, by a simple pull exerted perpendicular to the plane of the bottom of the box.
  • the fixing is carried out by a three-dimensional impression 13 produced by a simultaneous stamping of the bottom 14 of the cup and the bottom 15 of the box.
  • the bottom 15 of the box can be replaced by a support constituted, for example, by a cardboard or plastic plate which is placed at the bottom of the box 11.
  • This imprint 13 has, for example, the shape of a rack and can be produced by means of a tool such as that shown in FIG. 2.
  • This tool consists of a punch 20 which can be moved in the direction of the double arrow A and which cooperates with a fixed matrix 21.
  • These two parts have complementary profiles 20a and 21a.
  • a cup 22 and a support 23 are placed between the punch 20 and the matrix 21.
  • the punch is lowered to make the impression in the two elements which are thus fixed to each other.
  • Figures 3 to 5 show other fingerprint profiles to provide the desired temporary connection between the cup and the support.
  • the profile of Figure 3 includes a set of concentric circles.
  • the profile in Figure 4 shows a cross.
  • the profile in FIG. 5 represents the letter G which can, for example, correspond to the acronym of a confectioner.
  • FIGS 6 and 7 illustrate a particularly advantageous embodiment of the device of the invention.
  • This device comprises a punch 30 carrying a personalized acronym 31 arranged to cooperate with a matrix 32 having a profile complementary to that of the punch.
  • This punch has a bore 33 opening at its two ends. One end of the bore is connected to a suction pump (not shown). The punch is manipulated by a robot so that this punch can be placed over a cup. The suction pump is started so that it sucks a cup. The punch is moved so as to bring the cup into the desired position, opposite the die, then the punch is moved vertically so as to produce the impression in three dimensions.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous since it allows, by means of a single device, to grasp the cups, to position them and to secure them to the bottom of the box.
  • the fact of mechanically fixing the cells has a number of advantages.
  • the establishment of the cells and their attachment to the box requires a single operation which saves time compared to conventional methods. It is not necessary to use an adhesive material, which saves material and eliminates the problems associated with recycling or disposal of this material.
  • the method according to the present invention makes it possible to print an initials at the bottom of each cell, which can be used for advertising or decorative purposes.
