  • Such cases are used to package objects or groups of objects which are introduced therein by the cover which remains open, the closing of said cover being carried out only after introduction of said objects.
  • the section of the load constituted by said objects or groups of objects is square or rectangular and adapts exactly to that of the box in which said load is introduced, so that said load is not firmly held in said box by the lateral faces thereof and that the corners of said box are protruding and empty.
  • said load can move inside the box, causing instability raising handling and loading difficulties on board a means of transport.
  • the protruding corners of the box are exposed to external aggressions and can be easily torn, which affects the presentation and protection of the packaged products.
  • the empty corners of the box constitute a waste of sheet material, since they are useless.
  • US-A-4 308 029 proposes to place an object to be packed inside said mandrel and to wind up the blank, under tension and with elastic deformation of two opposite lateral faces of the checkout.
  • a package with a square section is obtained, the faces of which are exactly tangent to the walls of said object.

  • At least one flap of said first set and / or of the second set has, at least in the vicinity of said second or third corresponding fold line, the shape of the section of the box obtained from said blank.
  • Two flaps, respectively of said first and second sets of flaps, connected to the same flap, may be identical or different in shape.
  • a flap comprising neither flap of said first set, nor flap of said second set comprises, on the other hand, a stud on its edge being on the side of said first set of flaps and a notch on its edge being on the side of said second set of flaps, so that when two boxes obtained from two such identical blanks are superimposed the stud of the lower box enters the notch of the box superior. The boxes thus obtained are then easily stackable.
  • the flaps of said first and second sets which are on the outside when the box is formed, have complementary shapes such that when two such boxes are superimposed, the flaps of said first set of the lower case fit into the flaps of said second set of the upper case.

  • the width of the said flaps is less than the half of l1 .
  • the flaps 18.3, 18.7, 19.3 and 19.7 are identical to each other. They comprise, in the vicinity of their fold line and of connection to the corresponding flap, a rectangular part 92, then a narrowing part 93, with inclined edges 94.
  • the width of these latter flaps is equal to half of l1 .
  • the manufacture of the blanks F9 is economical in sheet material, since two blanks F9 can be nested one inside the other, with longitudinal offset.
  • FIG. 41 there is shown a blank F10 in which the series of flaps 1 to 8 is such that the height h thereof is less than the width L of flaps 3 and 7, unlike what has been shown for the blanks F1 to F9, previously described.
  • the flaps 18.1 and 18.5 are substantially similar to those of the blank F2 of Figure 17, while the flaps 18.3 and 18.7 are substantially similar to those of the blank F1 of Figure 1.
