Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative à une caisse de conditionnement repliable. Elle trouvera notamment son application dans les industries mettant en oeuvre du bois comme matière première pour la fabrication d'emballages.The invention relates to a folding packaging case. It will find its application in particular in industries using wood as a raw material for the manufacture of packaging.
On utilise aujourd'hui de nombreuses caisses d'emballage pour regrouper ou protéger un produit manufacturé disposé à l'intérieur de la caisse.Many packaging cases are used today to group or protect a manufactured product placed inside the case.
Pour la réalisation de ces emballages, on utilise aujourd'hui tout particulièrement du carton ondulé ou du bois.For the production of these packages, corrugated cardboard or wood are used today in particular.
Le bois offre certains avantages, notamment en ce qui concerne la résistance et il sera donc mieux susceptible de protéger les produits qui seront emballés, ces produits étant par exemple manufacturés ou en vrac.Wood offers certain advantages, in particular with regard to resistance and it will therefore be more likely to protect the products which will be packaged, these products being for example manufactured or in bulk.
Deux types de conditionnement sont aujourd'hui utilisés dans l'industrie, il s'agit des emballages perdus et emballages consignés ou réutilisés avec retour. Aujourd'hui, on recherche de plus en plus à réutiliser les emballages pour éviter un gâchis de matière première. Aussi, dans ce cas, le bois s'avère supérieur au carton puisqu'il sera plus facilement réutilisable.Two types of packaging are currently used in industry, these are lost packaging and returnable or reused packaging with return. Today, there is a growing interest in reusing packaging to avoid a waste of raw materials. Also, in this case, the wood is superior to cardboard since it will be more easily reusable.
Toutefois, lorsque les emballages sont réutilisés, il est nécessaire de faire voyager l'emballage vide et il faut donc dans ce cas qu'il occupe un très faible volume pour réduire au minimum les frais de transport.However, when the packaging is reused, it is necessary to transport the empty packaging and in this case it must therefore occupy a very small volume to minimize transport costs.
On a donc jusqu'à présent eu l'idée de réaliser des caisses de conditionnement repliables qui utilisent des panneaux rigides par exemple en bois, qui occupent un faible volume au moment du retour.So far we have had the idea of making folding packaging boxes that use rigid panels, for example wooden, which occupy a small volume at the time of return.
Le demandeur a mis au point notamment dans son brevet français n° 2.594.797 une caisse repliable tout à fait intéressante et réalisée à partir de charnières souples et de panneaux latéraux, d'un fond et d'un couvercle repliable. Sur le plan de la manutention, pour faciliter le transport de ces caisses, on a généralement prévu à la base une palette qui peut être manoeuvrée à l'aide d'un chariot élévateur à fourches.The applicant has developed in particular in its French patent No. 2,594,797 a very attractive folding box made from flexible hinges and side panels, a bottom and a folding cover. In terms of handling, to facilitate the transport of these boxes, there is generally provided at the base a pallet which can be maneuvered using a forklift truck.
La structure de la caisse de conditionnement repliable décrite dans le brevet français n° 2.594.797 permet notamment, en plus du conditionnement et de la manutention, de gerber les caisses. La présence d'un rebord au niveau du fond et du couvercle permet de réaliser le montage des panneaux périphériques, du fond et du couvercle pour construire une caisse de conditionnement dont les différents éléments sont bloqués les uns par rapport aux autres lorsqu'elle est montée.The structure of the folding packaging case described in French patent n ° 2,594,797 allows in particular, in addition to packaging and handling, to stack the boxes. The presence of a rim at the bottom and the cover makes it possible to mount the peripheral panels, the bottom and the cover to build a packaging case, the different elements of which are blocked with respect to each other when it is mounted. .
La présence de deux lignes de pliage disposées sur les panneaux latéraux opposés de la caisse permet de réaliser son repliage dans de bonnes conditions. La caisse objet du brevet français n° 2.594.797 a donc donné pleinement satisfaction en ce qui concerne le conditionnement, la manutention et le gerbage puisqu'elle présente d'excellentes qualités de résistance mécanique.The presence of two fold lines arranged on the opposite side panels of the box makes it possible to fold it under good conditions. The box which is the subject of French patent n ° 2,594,797 has therefore given full satisfaction with regard to packaging, handling and stacking since it has excellent qualities of mechanical resistance.
Néanmoins dans certaines utilisations, la caisse objet de ce brevet n° 2.594.797 ne peut pas toujours être fabriquée, notamment par exemple pour des applications particulières lorsque les dimensions du produit à conditionner sont plus réduites.However, in certain uses, the body which is the subject of this patent no. 2,594,797 cannot always be manufactured, in particular for example for particular applications when the dimensions of the product to be packaged are more reduced.
En effet, le conteneur objet du brevet français n° 2.594.797 peut être réalisé par exemple dans des dimensions de 1 mètre à 1,20 mètres, dimension de sa base, sur une hauteur de l'ordre de 0,75 mètre.Indeed, the container which is the subject of French patent n ° 2,594,797 can be produced for example in dimensions from 1 meter to 1.20 meters, dimension of its base, over a height of the order of 0.75 meters.
Si l'utilisateur désire une hauteur plus importante ou beaucoup plus basse, on peut toujours construire la caisse mais elle présente alors un inconvénient car le couvercle en position repliée n'est plus à l'aplomb de la palette et on constate par exemple un débordement de 10 à 20 centimètres.If the user wishes a higher or much lower height, it is still possible to build the box but it then has a drawback because the cover in the folded position is no longer level with the pallet and there is for example an overflow from 10 to 20 centimeters.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients et un de ses premiers buts est de pouvoir réaliser une caisse pliante dans tous les formats possibles en ayant la possibilité de rabattre complètement le couvercle au droit de la palette.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and one of its first aims is to be able to produce a folding box in all possible formats by having the possibility of completely folding the cover in line with the pallet.
Un autre but de l'invention est de réaliser une caisse pliante de tous les formats possibles avec un couvercle replié permettant la manutention facile et l'absence d'accrochage puisque les éléments en position repliée du couvercle ne débordent pas de la palette.Another object of the invention is to produce a folding box of all possible formats with a folded cover allowing easy handling and the absence of attachment since the elements in the folded position of the cover do not extend beyond the pallet.
Un autre but de l'invention est de réaliser une caisse pliante dans tous les formats possibles avec un couvercle replié au droit de la palette permettant une diminution de volume de l'ensemble qui sera intéressant lors du transport à vide en position complètement repliée.Another object of the invention is to produce a folding box in all possible formats with a cover folded in line with the pallet allowing a reduction in volume of the assembly which will be advantageous during empty transport in the fully folded position.
D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will emerge during the description which follows, which is given for information only and which is not intended to limit it.
La caisse de conditionnement repliable, destinée à l'emballage de produits manufacturés ou en vrac, ayant un fond associé à une palette, un couvercle, quatre panneaux latéraux pliés au moyen de charnières souples disposées au niveau des arêtes du parallélépipède, caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comprend :
- deux lignes de pliage disposées sur deux panneaux latéraux opposés,
- un couvercle en deux parties susceptibles d'être chacune positionnée au droit de la palette lorsque la caisse est en position totalement repliée,
afin de réaliser une caisse dans tous les formats possibles.The folding packaging box, intended for the packaging of manufactured or bulk products, having a bottom associated with a pallet, a cover, four side panels folded by means of flexible hinges arranged at the edges of the parallelepiped, characterized by the fact that she understands:
- two fold lines arranged on two opposite side panels,

La présente invention concerne une caisse de conditionnement repliable qui constituera un emballage pour assurer la protection ou le stockage de produits manufacturés ou en vrac. On pourra ainsi utiliser en tout ou partie l'intégralité du volume de la caisse ou emballer des produits très lourds ou plus légers.The present invention relates to a collapsible packaging case which will constitute a packaging for ensuring the protection or storage of manufactured or bulk products. We can thus use all or part of the entire volume of the case or package products very heavy or lighter.
Le matériau qui sera utilisé pour la confection de la caisse selon la présente invention est le bois mais on pourra également envisager d'autres matières ou matériaux composites.The material which will be used for the preparation of the box according to the present invention is wood, but it is also possible to envisage other materials or composite materials.
La caisse est réalisée au moyen de panneaux articulés et l'on pourra pour sa conception se reporter au brevet français n° 2.594.797 du demandeur. Ce brevet fait partie intégrante de la présente description et on pourra s'y référer en ce qui concerne les différents éléments de construction mais également pour ce qui est de la réalisation des charnières ou des articulations.The body is made by means of hinged panels and one can for its design refer to French patent No. 2,594,797 of the applicant. This patent is an integral part of this description and reference may be made to it with regard to the various construction elements but also with regard to the production of hinges or joints.
Cette caisse de conditionnement (1) illustrée à la figure 1 a une forme externe parallélépipédique et lorsqu'elle est montée, elle est constituée par un fond (2), un panneau frontal (3), un panneau arrière (4) et deux panneaux latéraux (5 et 6), ainsi qu'un couvercle rabattable (7). Les différents panneaux sont articulés par des jointures souples qui se présentent par exemple sous la forme de bandes de toile continues fixées au niveau des arêtes du parallélépipède.This packaging box (1) illustrated in FIG. 1 has a parallelepiped external shape and when it is assembled, it is constituted by a bottom (2), a front panel (3), a rear panel (4) and two panels. side (5 and 6), as well as a hinged cover (7). The various panels are articulated by flexible joints which are, for example, in the form of continuous strips of fabric fixed at the edges of the parallelepiped.
Le fond (2) est monté sur une caisse palette désignée généralement par (8) composée par exemple de façon connue par des plots (9 et 10) ou des longerons. Cette palette (8) permet de porter la caisse (1) au moyen d'un chariot élévateur à fourches. La palette restera solidaire de la caisse pendant son utilisation, son stockage, sa manutention ou son transport après avoir été utilisée.The bottom (2) is mounted on a pallet box generally designated by (8) composed for example in a known manner by studs (9 and 10) or beams. This pallet (8) allows the case (1) to be carried by means of a forklift truck. The pallet will remain attached to the box during its use, storage, handling or transport after being used.
Pour que ce transport puisse être effectué dans les conditions les plus économiques possibles, on a prévu de replier le parallélépipède et le couvercle sur la caisse palette (8).So that this transport can be carried out under the most economical conditions possible, provision has been made to fold the parallelepiped and the cover onto the pallet box (8).
Les deux panneaux latéraux (5 et 6) sont réalisés en deux parties articulables sur elles-mêmes et les articulations (11 et 12) illustrées à la figure 1 permettent de rabattre le panneau frontal (3) vers le panneau arrière (4).The two side panels (5 and 6) are made in two parts which can be articulated on themselves and the articulations (11 and 12) illustrated in FIG. 1 allow the front panel (3) to be folded down towards the rear panel (4).
Pour certaines épaisseurs de panneaux, on a prévu à l'arrière de réaliser une charnière souple (13) d'une certaine hauteur pour permettre le repliage du panneau frontal, du panneau arrière et des panneaux latéraux.For certain thicknesses of panels, provision has been made at the rear to make a flexible hinge (13) of a certain height to allow folding of the front panel, rear panel and side panels.
La figure 2 montre la caisse dans une position presque repliée et il faudra encore selon la flèche F₁ faire pivoter l'ensemble des quatre panneaux en les posant sur le fond (2) puis selon la flèche F₂ faire pivoter le couvercle (7).Figure 2 shows the body in an almost folded position and it will still according to arrow F₁ rotate all four panels by placing them on the bottom (2) then according to arrow F₂ rotate the cover (7).
Pour des dimensions normales de panneaux, telles que schématisées à la figure 2, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'on réalise une caisse conforme au brevet français n° 2.594.797, on constate que l'extrémité (14) du couvercle (7), lorsque la caisse sera en position repliée, viendra à l'aplomb de la paroi (15) de la palette.For normal dimensions of panels, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2, that is to say when a box is produced in accordance with French patent n ° 2,594,797, it can be seen that the end (14) of the cover (7), when the box is in the folded position, will come directly above the wall (15) of the pallet.
Ainsi, dans cette position, puisque le couvercle ne dépassera pas de la palette, la caisse ne pourra pas être accrochée pendant son transport et elle occupera un minimum de volume.Thus, in this position, since the cover will not protrude from the pallet, the box cannot be hung during its transport and it will occupy a minimum of volume.
Ainsi, pour un conteneur standard avec des palettes habituelles, si on réalise une longueur de 120 centimètres et une largeur de 100 centimètres pour une hauteur de 75 centimètres, et compte tenu de l'épaisseur des panneaux mis en oeuvre, on obtiendra un couvercle (7) dont l'extrémité viendra à l'aplomb de la partie (15).Thus, for a standard container with usual pallets, if we make a length of 120 centimeters and a width of 100 centimeters for a height of 75 centimeters, and taking into account the thickness of the panels used, we will obtain a cover ( 7) the end of which will come in line with the part (15).
Si l'on souhaite garder les mêmes dimensions de base, 120 x 100, mais que l'utilisateur souhaite une hauteur beaucoup plus faible, par exemple 30 centimètres, la présente invention permet de fabriquer une caisse de conditionnement repliable dont le couvercle en position rabattue ne dépasse pas de la palette pour éviter d'augmenter le volume transporté ou pour éviter de heurter pendant la manutention certains éléments qui dépasseraient.If one wishes to keep the same basic dimensions, 120 x 100, but the user wishes a much lower height, for example 30 centimeters, the present invention makes it possible to manufacture a collapsible packaging case whose lid in the folded position does not protrude from the pallet to avoid increasing the volume transported or to avoid hitting certain handling elements during handling.
On a représenté à la figure 3 une caisse de conditionnement repliable qui est similaire à celle de la figure 1, mais dont le couvercle (7) a été adapté.There is shown in Figure 3 a collapsible packaging box which is similar to that of Figure 1, but whose cover (7) has been adapted.
Ce couvercle (7) est maintenant réalisé en deux parties (16 et 17) qui sont respectivement chacune articulée par des charnières souples sur le panneau arrière (4) et sur le panneau frontal (3). Ces charnières souples, du même type que celles décrites dans le brevet français n° 2.594.797 sont par exemple positionnées sur toute ou partie de la longueur des arêtes (18 et 19).This cover (7) is now produced in two parts (16 and 17) which are respectively articulated by flexible hinges on the rear panel (4) and on the front panel (3). These flexible hinges, of the same type as those described in French Patent No. 2,594,797 are for example positioned over all or part of the length of the edges (18 and 19).
En se référant à la figure 4, on voit que l'on a fixé le fond (2) sur la palette (8) de façon décentrée. En effet, l'extrémité (20) de ce fond vient à l'aplomb de la paroi (15) de la palette alors que l'autre extrémité (21) se trouve en deçà de la paroi (15). Dans ce mode d'exécution, le fond (2) a une dimension inférieure à celle de la palette.Referring to Figure 4, we see that we fixed the bottom (2) on the pallet (8) off center. Indeed, the end (20) of this bottom comes directly above the wall (15) of the pallet while the other end (21) is located below the wall (15). In this embodiment, the bottom (2) has a dimension smaller than that of the pallet.
La figure 4 illustre la position de repliage du couvercle (7) et l'on voit par exemple la première partie (16) être rabattue autour de l'articulation (18) pour que son extrémité (20) vienne en position repliée à l'aplomb de la face (15) de la palette. Cet aplomb est matérialisé par la flèche F de la figure 5.Figure 4 illustrates the folding position of the cover (7) and we see for example the first part (16) be folded around the joint (18) so that its end (20) comes in the folded position at the plumb with the face (15) of the pallet. This balance is shown by arrow F in Figure 5.
L'autre partie (17) du couvercle pivote autour de sa charnière (19) et elle vient en position complètement repliée, telle qu'illustrée à la figure 5, de telle façon que son extrémité (21) vienne à l'aplomb d'une des faces (15) de la palette.The other part (17) of the cover pivots around its hinge (19) and it comes into the fully folded position, as illustrated in FIG. 5, so that its end (21) comes directly under one of the faces (15) of the pallet.
On voit à la figure 5 que la caisse en position complètement repliée occupe un volume très réduit mais également que le couvercle ne dépasse pas de la palette. On peut donc ainsi réaliser un transport de l'emballage en position non utilisée dans des meilleures conditions possibles de sécurité et d'économie.We see in Figure 5 that the box in the fully folded position occupies a very small volume but also that the cover does not protrude from the pallet. It is therefore possible to transport the packaging in an unused position under the best possible conditions of safety and economy.
Selon les dimensions de la caisse à réaliser, on pourra mettre en oeuvre un couvercle constitué en deux parties (16 et 17) qui pourront être de dimensions égales ou différentes. On notera à la figure 4 que les deux éléments (16 et 17) du couvercle sont repliés selon deux côtés opposés. On pourra encore replier les deux éléments du couvercle du même côté par exemple dans la position (16).Depending on the dimensions of the box to be produced, it is possible to use a cover made up of two parts (16 and 17) which may be of equal or different dimensions. Note in Figure 4 that the two elements (16 and 17) of the cover are folded along two opposite sides. We can still fold the two elements of the cover on the same side for example in position (16).
Naturellement, d'autres mises en oeuvre de la présente invention, à la portée de l'Homme de l'Art, auraient également pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Naturally, other implementations of the present invention, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could also have been envisaged without departing from the scope thereof.
