Definitions

  • the invention relates to a new type of plastic packaging box, formed of a rigid container and a lid.
  • packaging boxes which are formed of a rigid tray which has an opening delimited by a peripheral rim in the shape of an inverted U, formed of two branches respectively internal connected to the tray itself and external, and a cover comprising a similar peripheral rim, also in the shape of an inverted U, intended to be fitted onto the peripheral rim of the tray (see for example document GB-A-1 473 905) .
  • a cover comprising a similar peripheral rim, also in the shape of an inverted U, intended to be fitted onto the peripheral rim of the tray.
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It relates to a packaging box of the type in question, the tray and the cover having detachable welded side bands to ensure good sealing to the assembly, but in which access to the conditioned product remains easy, in particular after having detached the bands. side.
  • the invention consists, in a packaging box of the type in question in which the tray and the lid are secured by a welded side band, connected to the assembly by incipient fracture notches, having a transverse rupture line to allow easy tearing of the superimposed lateral sealing strips welded together, to be provided on an appreciable portion on one side, a non-detachable zone intended after detaching the welded lateral strips, to form a hinge for the articulation of the cover on the tray.
  • the improved packaging box according to the invention is waterproof and once the sealing strip is detached, is easy to use thanks to the articulation of the cover on the tray.
  • packaging box according to the invention is of the type described by the Applicants in document US-A-5 145 088, corresponding to document EP-B-0447 329.
  • Figure 1 is a summary perspective view of a packaging box according to the invention shown in Figure 2 in the open position.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the characteristic cover of the invention.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are sectional views of the cover and the tray along the axes IV-IV 'and V-V' of FIG. 3.
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view of the lid-tray stack of a preferred version of the invention.
  • the packaging box according to the invention designated by the general reference (1) consists of a rigid container (2) and a cover (3), both made of injected plastic, for example of food-grade polypropylene.
  • the cover (3) has on the edge of the ribs, molded, intended to facilitate stacking and maintaining the boxes (1) filled.
  • the tray (2) has an opening (5) delimited by a peripheral rim (6) in the shape of an inverted U, formed (see FIGS. 4 and 5) of two branches, respectively internal (7) connected to the tray (2) properly said, and external (8).
  • the end of the downwardly inclined outer branch (8) is surrounded by a first flexible annular lateral strip (9) which is molded, the connection zone (10) of the branch (8) having a notch breaking point (11), for example of lesser thickness.
  • the connection portion (12) of the two branches (7,8) of the horizontal flange (6) has a support overmolding (13).
  • the cover (3) comprises (see FIGS. 3, 4 and 5) a peripheral rim (20), also in the form of an inverted U, complementary to the U of the tray, intended to be fitted onto the rim (6) of this tray ( 2).
  • This rim (20) is also formed of two branches respectively one internal (21) connected to the plate (22) of the cover (3), the other external (23) inclined outwards and the bottom corresponding to the branch (8) from the tray.
  • These two branches (21, 22) are connected by a horizontal portion (24) parallel to the portion (12) of the tray, and the internal face of which bears on the overmolding (13).
  • the end (26) of the external branch (23) is also surrounded by a second peripheral annular flexible band (25) peripheral coming from molding.
  • the connection zone forming the end (26) of the lid proper coincides substantially by superposition with the zone (10) of the tray and both have continuous notches of initiation of rupture (27) cooperating in essential part with the notch (11) in the side strip (8) of the tray.
  • the two horizontal annular bands (9.25) are superimposed and welded together over their entire outer peripheral edge up to the notches (10.26) which are superimposed.
  • These bands (9.25) define a stack designated by the general reference (30), which surrounds the entire box to thereby ensure the tightness of the assembly.
  • Welding is carried out by any known means, in particular those mentioned above.
  • This weld line (31) extends to the plumb of the notches (11,27) at the start of the rupture (11,26) up to point (29) to ensure the tightness of the assembly. .
  • the point (29) of the end of the weld corresponds to the connection end of the two peripheral strips (9.25) on the branches (8.23).
  • the welded peripheral zone (32) represents only part of the width of the horizontal strips (9,25) superimposed.
  • the stack (30) of the two lateral flexible bands (9,25) welded (31) together, has a first rupture line (40) disposed in a corner of the cover, for example the lower left corner as seen on FIG. 3.
  • This rupture line (40) extends transversely from the outer edge (32) of the stack to the vicinity of the zones (10, 26) of the fracture initiation notches (11, 27).
  • the two opposite faces of this breaking line (40) are rounded, as seen in FIG. 3, to facilitate gripping and thereby the tearing operation.
  • the breaking line (40) can be arranged in the middle of a large side at the height of the gripping tab (55).
  • the stack (30) no longer has a breaking notch (see figures 1 and 5).
  • this zone (45) of the stack (30) forms a portion in which the cover and the tray are welded together by the annular bands (9,25). Therefore, this portion (45) is non-detachable.
  • This zone (45) disposed on an essential part on one side of the cover, is delimited on each side (46,47) by a transverse breaking line similar to (40).
  • the horizontal annular peripheral sealing strip (30) essentially comprises (see FIG. 2) three distinct portions, namely a first portion designated by the reference (50) which extends from the first rupture line transverse (40) to the transverse rupture line (46), then a second similar portion (51) extending from (40) to (47), these two portions (50,51) being detachable after tearing as seen in Figures 1 and 2.
  • These two strips (50,51) before tearing are firmly connected to each other by the area (45) free of break notch. In this way, this zone (45) forms a hinge hinge of the cover (3) on the tray (2).
  • the articulation zone (45) has spaced apart portions of lesser thickness (59) forming a proper hinge.
  • the side of the cover opposite the hinge (45) comprises a gripping tab (55) (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 3), housed in a space (58) provided for this purpose on the flange (6) of the tray.
  • This tongue (55) is intended to facilitate the opening and pivoting of the cover (3) on the hinge (40).
  • the hinge portion (45) has stops (57, 58) which are molded, intended to facilitate holding the cover (3) in the open position (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the two characteristic notches of rupture initiation (33 and 34) similar to (27) and (11), are arranged opposite and in the middle of the annular bands (9, 25).
  • the sealing weld (32) is carried out only on the outer peripheral border to the left of the notches (33, 34), for example by means of ultrasound.
  • the socket produced still has a horizontal stacking portion (36) which completes the seal.
  • the characteristic incipient fractures (11,27) follow the shape of a right triangle and are slightly offset by one strip (9) relative to the other (25) to favor the tearing action.
  • the strips (9.25) can be arranged horizontally, as shown in the figures, or be inclined downwards, even inclined downwards and then connected to a horizontal portion.
  • the box according to the invention has many advantages compared to those described in the preamble.
  • the fact that it has a hinge portion (45) allows it to be used with convenience.
  • the first transverse breaking line (40) ensures a convenient opening, while allowing, before opening, to ensure a good seal of the assembly, so that it is no longer necessary to use a seal. .
  • this type of box can be used advantageously for the packaging of very diverse products, in particular food products.
