Description
La présente invention est relative à un emballage d'une série de produits, du type comprenant une enveloppe souple, notamment de forme générale allongée, comportant une feuille pliée et scellée.The present invention relates to packaging for a series of products, of the type comprising a flexible envelope, in particular of generally elongated shape, comprising a folded and sealed sheet.
Des emballages connus de ce type sont destinés notamment à des produits préemballés qui peuvent être par exemple des produits alimentaires tels que des tablettes de gomme à mâcher, des plaquettes de fromage, des biscuits ou des barres de chocolat, ou encore des cartes à puce. L'enveloppe contient ces produits et peut être constituée par une feuille roulée ou pliée, par exemple en papier ou en un complexe réalisé, par exemple, à partir de l'association d'un film plastique, de papier et d'aluminium (ou de la combinaison de deux d'entre eux); cette feuille entoure et enveloppe alors un empilement desdits produits pour former un cylindre maintenu par collage d'un bord longitudinal de la feuille sur le bord longitudinal opposé; les extrémités du cylindre sont maintenues en position repliées par scellement, par exemple par collage, pour former l'une le fond, l'autre le couvercle de l'enveloppe.Known packages of this type are intended in particular for prepackaged products which may for example be food products such as chewing gum tablets, cheese wafers, cookies or chocolate bars, or even smart cards. The envelope contains these products and may consist of a rolled or folded sheet, for example of paper or of a complex produced, for example, from the combination of a plastic film, paper and aluminum (or of the combination of two of them); this sheet then surrounds and envelops a stack of said products to form a cylinder held by gluing a longitudinal edge of the sheet on the opposite longitudinal edge; the ends of the cylinder are kept in the folded position by sealing, for example by gluing, to form one the bottom, the other the cover of the envelope.
Pour ouvrir un emballage, on procède par exemple par arrachement et dépliage du couvercle de l'enveloppe; lorsqu'une bande de déchirure est prévue à cet effet à proximité du couvercle sur une circonférence du cylindre de l'enveloppe, on procède de préférence par déchirement de cette bande et enlèvement total et définitif du couvercle.To open a package, one proceeds for example by tearing off and unfolding the cover of the envelope; when a tear strip is provided for this purpose near the cover on a circumference of the cylinder of the envelope, the procedure is preferably by tearing this strip and total and permanent removal of the cover.
Un tel emballage est très économique pour des produits de consommation courante et très avantageux puisqu'il permet de les conserver groupés dans l'enveloppe et disponibles à tout instant pour la distribution et la consommation.Such packaging is very economical for everyday consumer products and very advantageous since it makes it possible to keep them grouped in the envelope and available at all times for distribution and consumption.
Cependant, dès que l'enveloppe d'un emballage de ce type a été ouverte, elle n'est plus refermable avec sécurité et/ou elle est définitivement dépourvue d'un couvercle; elle risque donc à tout moment de laisser échapper les produits restants qu'elle contient, ce qui représente un grave inconvénient. Ceci est particulièrement gênant lorsque l'emballage dont l'enveloppe est déjà ouverte est laissée dans la poche d'un vêtement, dans un sac ou une valise, ou encore dans la boîte à gants d'un véhicule. Les produits restants qu'elle contient peuvent alors s'y retrouver dispersés avec d'autres objets.However, as soon as the envelope of a package of this type has been opened, it can no longer be closed securely and / or it is definitively devoid of a cover; it therefore risks at any time letting the remaining products which it contains escape, which represents a serious drawback. This is particularly troublesome when the packaging, the envelope of which is already open, is left in the pocket of a garment, in a bag or suitcase, or even in the glove compartment of a vehicle. The remaining products it contains can then be dispersed there with other objects.
L'invention a pour but de préserver l'intégrité du contenu de l'enveloppe de l'emballage après ouverture de celle-ci, y compris après prélèvement d'un ou plusieurs produits de l'enveloppe ouverte, tout en conservant le caractère économique et avantageux de ce type d'emballage.The object of the invention is to preserve the integrity of the content of the packaging envelope after opening it, including after removal of one or more products from the open envelope, while retaining the economic character. and advantageous of this type of packaging.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un emballage du type précité, caractérisé en ce qu'un moyen d'adhérence provisoire des produits à emballer est interposé entre l'enveloppe et chacun des produits.To this end, the invention relates to a packaging of the aforementioned type, characterized in that a means of temporary adhesion of the products to be packaged is interposed between the envelope and each of the products.
Cet emballage peut comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :
- le moyen d'adhérence provisoire concerne une région desdits produits alignée avec une zone scellée de l'enveloppe;
- lorsque l'enveloppe souple comporte deux extrémités, l'une ouverte ou destinée à être fermée par un couvercle, notamment non refermable après ouverture, l'autre fermée par pliage et scellement servant de fond à l'enveloppe, le moyen d'adhérence provisoire des produits à emballer est interposé entre le fond de l'enveloppe et l'extrémité adjacente de chacun des produits;
- l'emballage contient plusieurs produits empilés de forme allongée, notamment préemballés;
- le moyen d'adhérence est porté par l'enveloppe;
- chacun desdits produits porte un moyen d'adhérence provisoire qui adhère à l'enveloppe;
- le moyen d'adhérence provisoire comprend une colle du type colle à froid activable par pression;
- le moyen d'adhérence provisoire comprend une colle du type thermoréactivable;
- the provisional adhesion means relates to a region of said products aligned with a sealed area of the envelope;
- when the flexible envelope has two ends, one open or intended to be closed by a cover, in particular non-resealable after opening, the other closed by folding and sealing serving as the bottom of the envelope, the temporary adhesion means products to be packaged is interposed between the bottom of the envelope and the adjacent end of each of the products;
- the packaging contains several stacked products of elongated shape, in particular prepackaged;
- the adhesion means is carried by the envelope;
- each of said products carries a temporary adhesion means which adheres to the envelope;
- the temporary adhesion means comprises an adhesive of the cold glue type activatable by pressure;
- the temporary adhesion means comprises an adhesive of the heat-activated type;
L'invention a encore pour objet un procédé de réalisation d'un emballage tel que défini ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a method for producing a package as defined above.
Dans un premier mode de mise en oeuvre, ce procédé,du type comprenant:
- (a) le placement d'un empilement desdits produits sur une feuille éventuellement préformée; et
- (b) la formation d'une enveloppe de forme générale tubulaire par pliage et scellement, notamment par collage, de ladite feuille refermant ainsi au moins partiellement cette enveloppe,
- (a) placing a stack of said products on a possibly preformed sheet; and
- (b) the formation of a generally tubular envelope by folding and sealing, in particular by gluing, of said sheet thus at least partially closing this envelope,
Lorsque la formation de l'enveloppe de l'étape (b) comporte une étape de scellement, notamment par collage, des bords opposés de ladite feuille refermant la circonférence de l'ébauche d'enveloppe, et une étape de pliage et de scellement, notamment par collage, d'au moins une extrémité de l'ébauche d'enveloppe, réalisant la fermeture d'au moins un fond de l'enveloppe, de préférence, à l'étape (c), le moyen d'adhérence provisoire est posé au moins sur la partie de la face intérieure destinée à constituer le fond de l'enveloppe et est activé simultanément au scellement du fond de l'enveloppe.When the formation of the envelope of step (b) includes a sealing step, in particular by gluing, opposite edges of said sheet closing the circumference of the envelope blank, and a folding and sealing step, in particular by bonding, at least one end of the envelope blank, closing at least one bottom of the envelope, preferably, in step (c), the temporary adhesion means is placed at least on the part of the inner face intended to constitute the bottom of the envelope and is activated simultaneously with the sealing of the bottom of the envelope.
Dans un second mode de mise en oeuvre, le procédé, du type comprenant la réalisation d'une ébauche d'enveloppe de forme générale allongée, le remplissage de l'ébauche d'enveloppe par lesdits produits, et la formation d'une enveloppe de forme générale tubulaire par pliage et scellement, notamment par collage, de ladite feuille refermant ainsi au moins partiellement cette ébauche d'enveloppe, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une étape d'enduction d'une partie de chacun des produits ou de leur préemballage destinée à venir au contact de l'enveloppe par un moyen d'adhérence provisoire, et en ce que l'activation du moyen d'adhérence provisoire est réalisée simultanément au scellement de l'enveloppe.In a second embodiment, the method, of the type comprising the production of an envelope blank of generally elongated shape, the filling of the envelope blank with said products, and the formation of an envelope of general tubular shape by folding and sealing, in particular by gluing, of said sheet thus closing at least partially this blank of envelope, is characterized in that it comprises a step of coating part of each of the products or their prepackage intended to come into contact with the envelope by a temporary adhesion means, and in that the activation of the temporary adhesion means is performed simultaneously with the sealing of the envelope.
Dans ce cas, lorsque la formation de l'enveloppe comporte une étape de pliage et de scellement, notamment par collage, d'au moins une extrémité de l'ébauche d'enveloppe, réalisant ainsi la fermeture d'au moins un fond de l'enveloppe, de préférence, chacun des produits est enduit sur l'une de ses extrémités, ou des extrémités de son préemballage, en regard du fond, par un moyen d'adhérence provisoire, et l'activation du moyen d'adhérence est réalisée simultanément au scellement du fond de l'enveloppe.In this case, when the formation of the envelope comprises a step of folding and sealing, in particular by gluing, of at least one end of the envelope blank, thus achieving the closure of at least one bottom of the envelope, preferably, each of the products is coated on one of its ends, or of the ends of its prepackage, facing the bottom, by a temporary adhesion means, and the activation of the adhesion means is carried out simultaneously with the sealing of the bottom of the envelope.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :
- la Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un emballage selon l'invention dont l'enveloppe est fermée;
- la Figure 2 est une vue en perspective de cet emballage plein et avec son enveloppe ouverte;
- la Figure 3 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du même emballage après prélèvement d'une partie des produits;
- la Figure 4 est une vue partielle à échelle agrandie, en coupe longitudinale à proximité du fond de l'enveloppe de l'emballage; et
- les Figures 5 à 8 illustrent des étapes d'un procédé de fabrication d'un tel emballage.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package according to the invention, the envelope is closed;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of this full package and with its envelope open;
- Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same packaging after removal of part of the products;
- Figure 4 is a partial view on an enlarged scale, in longitudinal section near the bottom of the packaging envelope; and
- Figures 5 to 8 illustrate steps of a method of manufacturing such packaging.
L'emballage représenté aux Figures 1 à 4 comprend une enveloppe souple 1 qui contient des produits allongés 2 empilés.The packaging shown in Figures 1 to 4 comprises a
Les produits 2 peuvent être par exemple des produits alimentaires préemballés, tels que des tablettes de gomme à mâcher, des plaquettes de fromage, des biscuits ou des barres de chocolat, ou encore d'autres produits éventuellement pré-emballés tels que des cartes à puce.
L'enveloppe souple 1 comprend un corps 3 de forme générale cylindrique à base rectangulaire fermé à ses deux extrémités, l'une constituant le fond 4, l'autre constituant le couvercle 5, par pliage et collage des extrémités du corps 3 sur elles-mêmes. Le corps 3 comporte également une bande de déchirure 6 sur sa circonférence, à proximité du couvercle 5.The
Pour la consommation des produits, on procède à l'ouverture de l'enveloppe 1 par déchirement de la bande 6 le long de la circonférence du corps 3 et enlèvement du couvercle 5 et d'une portion attenante du corps 3. Cette opération dégage une des extrémités 2A des produits 2 contenus par l'enveloppe, comme représenté à la Figure 2. L'enveloppe 1 ainsi ouverte ne peut plus être refermée.For the consumption of the products, the
Comme indiqué sur la Figure 3, l'emballage comporte encore un moyen d'adhérence provisoire, ici un film 7 de colle à faible pouvoir d'adhérence appliqué sur le fond 4 de l'enveloppe 1, qui relie de façon séparable ce fond 4 à l'extrémité adjacente 2B de chaque produit 2 contenu dans l'enveloppe. La colle peut être par exemple du type thermofusible faible.As indicated in FIG. 3, the packaging also includes a temporary adhesion means, here a
Ainsi, lorsque l'enveloppe 1 est ouverte, les produits 2 restent solidaires de l'enveloppe ouverte 1, parce qu'ils sont retenus par leurs extrémités 2B contre le fond 4 de l'enveloppe par le film de colle 7. Malgré l'ouverture irréversible de l'enveloppe, les produits contenus ne peuvent donc pas se disperser au dehors. Pour la consommation des produits contenus dans l'enveloppe ouverte, il suffit d'extraire chaque produit de l'enveloppe par une traction suffisante pour désolidariser son extrémité 2B du fond 4. L'emballage conserve ainsi toutes ses propriétés de réunion et de protection des produits.Thus, when the
On va maintenant décrire, en regard des Figures 5 à 8, un procédé de fabrication de l'emballage 1.We will now describe, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8, a method of manufacturing the
A partir d'un rouleau d'une bande 8 préencollée en continu avec la colle 7 sur sa face intérieure le long d'une zone marginale 8B, représenté à la Figure 5, on fixe une bande de déchirure 6 à proximité du bord 8A opposé à la zone 8B, puis on découpe des feuilles 9 sur la face intérieure de chacune desquelles on dépose, en dehors de la zone encollée, un empilement de produits 2, comme représenté à la Figure 6. La bande 8 porte également sur sa face extérieure des zones préencollées (non représentées) servant à fermer l'emballage de façon classique. Pour ces zones, on utilise par exemple une colle thermoréactivable forte.From a roll of a
La bande 8 peut être en papier ou en matériau complexe, par exemple constitué d'un film de matière plastique, d'un film de papier imprimé et d'un film aluminium, superposés et collés ensemble. La largeur de la bande 8 est supérieure à la longueur des produits à emballer.The
On effectue ensuite le pliage de la feuille 9 selon une ébauche tubulaire du corps 3, comme indiqué à la Figure 7, et on colle l'un sur l'autre les bords de découpe de la feuille, ce qui ferme l'ébauche le long d'une génératrice; on replie ensuite sur elles-mêmes les zones marginales 8A et 8B de la feuille, qui constituent maintenant les extrémités du corps cylindrique 3, respectivement le couvercle 5 et le fond 4 comme indiqué à la Figure 8. Pendant ce pliage, la zone encollée 8B vient au contact de l'extrémité correspondante 2B de chacun des produits 2.Then we fold the
On effectue ensuite, par un dispositif non représenté de dissipation de chaleur aux deux extrémités de l'enveloppe, l'activation simultanée de la colle thermoréactivable forte et du film de colle thermoréactivable faible du bord de feuille 8B; ceci provoque simultanément le scellement des deux extrémités de l'enveloppe et l'adhérence provisoire des extrémités 2B des produits au fond 4 de l'enveloppe.Then carried out, by a device (not shown) for dissipating heat at the two ends of the envelope, the simultaneous activation of the strong heat-activated adhesive and of the weak heat-activated adhesive film of the
Une variante du même procédé consiste à utiliser pour l'enduction intérieure, en 8B, de la bande 8, une colle à froid activable par pression. La compression de l'enveloppe 1 par ses deux extrémités qui accompagne le scellement précité assure alors simultanément l'activation du film de colle à froid du bord de feuille 8B et provoque l'adhérence provisoire des extrémités 2B des produits sur le fond 4 de l'enveloppe.A variant of the same process consists in using for the internal coating, at 8B, of the
En variante, l'encollage préalable de la bande 8 au moyen d'une colle à faible adhérence peut être réalisé de manière différente. Ainsi, l'enduction peut être effectuée en discontinu, en interrompant à intervalles prédéterminés l'encollage de la zone 8B ou en n'encollant que des emplacements prérepérés de cette zone 8B qui constitueront le fond de l'enveloppe après pliage. Dans ce cas, l'encollage peut, sur certaines chaînes de conditionnement, être réalisé en bandes transversales à la direction d'avance des feuilles 9. L'enduction peut également être réalisée tout le long de la zone 8B, mais sous forme de plusieurs lignes parallèles, éventuellement pointillées, ou avec un motif répétitif tel que des lignes obliques parallèles entre elles.As a variant, the prior gluing of the
En variante également, on peut remplacer la bande 7 par un encollage préalable, par le même type de colle faible, de l'extrémité adjacente 2B des produits 2.In a variant also, the
En variante encore, l'adhérence provisoire des produits 2 sur le fond de l'enveloppe peut s'obtenir par interposition d'un élément adhésif double face.In another variant, the temporary adhesion of the
