Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of packaging.
  • thermoformed plastic packaging for the presentation of various products and articles.
  • these packages include two shells shaped to be assembled in superposition to create a closed volume.
  • each shell can have fingerprints for housing and positioning the product (s) to be presented.
  • the two shells are produced independently of one another.
  • One of them has at the side of the reduced dimension, an articulated part intended to constitute the bottom, while acting as a base for the entire package, after superposition of the two shells.
  • This solution is of high cost since the two hulls require two separate operations.
  • difficulties may arise in coupling the two shells.
  • the two shells are obtained in a single thermoforming operation and are joined at their sides of small dimension by an articulated part constituting the bottom of the packaging.
  • This bottom part is profiled in section to also act as a base, to ensure, as indicated, the stability of the packaging in vertical position.
  • the part constituting the stabilizing base is not locked with the corresponding parts of the shells.
  • the visual appearance of the packaging is therefore not very satisfactory at this level.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks in a simple, safe, effective and rational manner.
  • the problem that the invention proposes to solve is to design a package whose various constituent parts are obtained in a single operation requiring only a reduced footprint at the manufacturing level with the aim of obtaining a package having a perfect vertical stability in order to be able to present it in support on any support.
  • Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is to ensure that the constituent elements of the packaging are perfectly held in the position of use.
  • the folding part has in combination with the arrangements of the corresponding parts of the shells, additional locking means.
  • the complementary locking means consist of hollow and raised imprints.
  • the arrangement of the shells receiving the folding part are separated at the level of the part 'articulation of said shells, by a notch.
  • the folding part has a cross section of very substantially trapezoidal or triangular shape able to cooperate in support, with the arrangements of the shells, in the form of inclined support flanges .
  • the folding part has a flat support surface constituting a bottom for the packaging and for the support of the products.
  • the two shells are of generally quadrangular shape and are joined by their sides more large dimension, by a band presenting a line acting as articulation.
  • the various component parts of the packaging are made of thermoformed plastic.
  • the package designated as a whole by (1) comprises in a known manner, two shells (1a) and (1b).
  • the entire packaging is obtained by thermoforming in plastic material.
  • the shells (1a) and (1b) are generally quadrangular.
  • each shell has recesses in hollow (1a1) (1b1) whose shapes, dimensions and profiles correspond very substantially to the product (s) or article (s) to be packaged.
  • the two shells (1a) and (1b) are coupled in an articulated manner by their larger sides (1a2) (1b2) to be opened laterally.
  • This connection is effected by a strip (1c) having a center fold line (1c1).
  • one of the shells (1a) has, in overflow from its short side (1a3) located perpendicular to the side (1a2), a folding part (1d).
  • This part (1d) extends over the entire length of the side (1a3) and is shaped to constitute, in combination with arrangements that the short sides (1a3) and (1b3) have, and after having folded over the shells (1a) and (1b), a stabilizing element for maintaining the packaging in an upright position.
  • the folding part (1d) has a cross section of very substantially trapezoidal or triangular shape, delimiting two inclined bearing surfaces (1d1) (1d2).
  • bearing surfaces (1d1) (1d2) cooperate with flanges (1f) (1g), correspondingly inclined, which constitute the arrangements of the short sides (1a3 ) (1b3).
  • the articulation between the projecting part (1b) and the side (1a3) is effected by means of a pre-folding line (1e).
  • the support edges (1f) (1g) are separated by a notch (1h) formed coaxially with the articulation band (1c).
  • the base part (1d) has, in particular overhanging each of its bearing surfaces (1d1) (1d2) male imprints (1i) capable of cooperating with female imprints (1j) formed at the ends support edges (1f) and (1g).
  • each of the shells (1a) and (1b) delimits a peripheral support rim (1k) and (1l) each having complementary locking means (1k1) (1l1) in the form of indentations and in relief.
  • the part of the rim located opposite the short sides (1a3) (1b3) constitutes a grip handle (1m) (1n).
  • this base element (1d) may have a flat and horizontal support surface (1p) for the packaged product (s).
