Abstract

The cardboard blank (1) for making a display box for cosmetic bottles comprises several square panels (4,5,6,7) joined to each other by grooved folding lines (8,9,10). When folded these panels form the box walls. On the edge (11) parallel and opposite to the folding line (8) the panel (4) has an extension forming a fastening tab (12). This tab is fixed internally into free edge (13) of the panel (7). The four panels when assembled form a rectangular assembly having first and second longitudinal edges (14,15) perpendicular to the folding lines. From the longitudinal edge (14), forming the grooved folding line, a flap (16) extends transversely in front of the panel (5) and two wedging and locking flaps (17,18) are in front of the panels (4,6). The blank is easy to form into a box with an efficient locking wedge for its contents.

Description

The invention relates to a cardboard blank intended for the production of a presentation box for a content such as a bottle of cosmetic product.

It also relates to a box produced by folding and gluing such a blank, the corresponding process and finally, the box and content assembly.

Cardboard boxes are already known comprising inside means for wedging a content such as a bottle of cosmetic product.

• leur montage n'est pas ou difficilement mécanisable,
• les moyens de calage sont inesthétiques ou sont d'une efficacité limitée.

However, the known boxes generally have a series of drawbacks:

• their assembly is not or difficult to mechanize,
• the wedging means are unsightly or are of limited effectiveness.

The invention therefore aims to overcome these drawbacks.

To this end, it offers a cardboard blank of the aforementioned type, comprising several panels associated one after the other by fold lines of panels, intended to form the side walls of the box.

According to the invention, the blank also comprises at least one pair of generally similar flaps, adjoining, respectively, two edges on the same side of two side panels by two fold lines of flaps.

Each component comprises a series of panels associated one after the other by lines of folding extending parallel to the folding lines of shutters, namely in particular a base panel, a raising panel, a support panel, a first fixing panel adjoining the support panel and a second fixing panel, the flaps further comprising cutouts for positioning and blocking the content.

According to a first embodiment, the blank has two flaps each comprising a base panel, an extension panel, a support panel, comprising two parts, the first adjoining the enhancement panel and the second adjoining the first and placed between two centering panels placed on either side, a first fixing panel adjoining the second part and having a free opposite edge, two blocking panels adjoining the two centering panels and a second fixing panel adjoining the two panels blocking, centering and blocking panels comprising, towards the middle part of the flap, positioning and blocking cutouts of the content.

According to a second embodiment, the blank comprises two pairs of wedging and locking flaps respectively adjoining the edges of the opposite sides of the side panels.

More particularly, two flaps of two pairs of flaps adjoin the edges of opposite sides of the same side panel.

Each wedging flap comprises a base panel, an extension panel, a support panel comprising two parts, the first adjoining and placed in part substantially in the center of the extension panel and the second substantially in the center of the raising panel and the second adjoining the first and placed between two centering panels placed on either side, a first fixing panel adjoining the support panel and also placed between the two centering panels, and a second fixing panel adjoining the two centering panels and the first fixing panel, each wedging flap further comprising positioning and blocking cutouts.

Each blocking flap comprises a base panel, a raising panel, a support panel comprising a first notch in which a blocking tab is formed adjoining the raising panel, a first fixing panel projecting into a second notch formed in the support panel and a second fixing panel adjoining the first and the support panel, each blocking flap further comprising positioning and blocking cutouts.

By folding and gluing such a blank, the invention allows the production of a box such that, in the first embodiment, the two base panels, the two support panels and the blocking panels are respectively substantially coplanar, the two raising panels, the centering panels, the first and the second fixing panels are also mutually parallel and perpendicular to the plane defined by the base, support and blocking panels.

The two raising panels are spaced from one another by a free space, the two free edges of the two projections of the support panels are tangent or spaced from each other, without overlap.

The first and second fixing panels are integral one with overlap on the other, the internal face of the first panel against the internal face of the second, and the second panel being integral, by its external face with the internal face of the panel adjacent side.

According to the second embodiment, the box is such that the two base panels, the two support panels of each pair of flaps and the two centering panels of the wedging flaps are respectively substantially coplanar, and are parallel to each other, the two riser panels, the first and second fixing panels of the two pairs of flaps are also parallel to each other and perpendicular to the planes defined by the base panels, the support panels and the centering panels, the riser panels of the wedging flaps are placed side by side, the raising panels are spaced from one another by a free space, and the two fixing panels of each flap are integral by their internal face with the internal face of the adjoining side panel.

This configuration, whatever the embodiment, thus allows the possibility of easily printing, on the external face of the shutters, graphics, such as logos for example, or particular colors, so that they can be seen. inside the box. It is often difficult to make prints on the internal faces of a box.

The invention also relates to a box and content assembly, the content being maintained in position, according to the first embodiment, on one side, on the support panels. and their possible projections by the cutouts of the centering and blanking blocking panels.

According to the second embodiment, the content is maintained in position on both sides, namely in its lower part by the support panels and the cutouts of the centering and raising panels of the wedging flaps on the one hand, and in its upper part by the support panels and the cutouts of the support panels and of the raising of the locking flaps on the other hand.

This gives excellent retention of the content, the latter being both blocked in rotation and in translation.

In addition, due to this configuration, the content does not touch any wall of the box. It is thus better protected against attacks that may occur on one of the walls of the box during transport, for example.

To ensure better maintenance in position of the content, the latter has a contoured shape corresponding to that of the cutouts of the different panels of each component. The content also has at least part of its cut outer edge which is intended to be inserted in the cutouts of the blocking panels, according to the first mode, or to be blocked by the blocking tabs according to the second mode, in order to '' avoid content rotation.

• on colle le second panneau de fixation sur le panneau latéral attenant, à une hauteur sensiblement égale à celle du panneau de rehausse ;
• on replie et conforme le volet ;
• on ferme le fond de la boîte.

The invention finally relates to a method of mounting a box according to the invention in which, from a flat blank according to the first embodiment,

• the two fixing panels are glued to one another;
• the second fixing panel is bonded to the adjoining side panel, at a height substantially equal to that of the raising panel;
• the shutter is folded and conformed;
• we close the bottom of the box.

The box is then ready to receive content as previously described.

• on replie et conforme les volets de calage vers l'intérieur de la boîte ;
• on ferme le fond de la boîte ;
• les volets de blocage sont alors apte à être repliés et conformés après l'introduction du contenu.

From the blank of the second embodiment, the method of mounting the box comprises the following steps:

• the two fixing panels of the flaps of each pair are glued to the side panel which is attached to them, at a height substantially equal to that of the raising panel;
• the wedging flaps are folded and conformed towards the inside of the box;
• the bottom of the box is closed;
• the locking flaps are then able to be folded and shaped after the introduction of the content.

Other features of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples.

Figure 4 is a schematic plan view of a second embodiment of a blank according to the invention.

FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic plan view and on a larger scale of a flap of a first pair of flaps of the blank shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic plan view and on a larger scale of a flap of a second pair of flaps of the blank shown in FIG. 4.

Referring to Figure 1 in which is shown a blank 1, corresponding to a first possible embodiment of the invention.

The blank 1 shown is made of cardboard having a certain rigidity. It is provided with fold lines allowing, by its volume, the constitution of the box.

The blank 1 as shown in Figure 1 is flat or flat.

After setting in volume and joining, the blank 1 allows the constitution of a box 2 intended to receive a content 3 such as a perfume bottle, eau de toilette or other perfume or cosmetic product.

The box 2, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, has a general cubic shape in relation to the shape of the blank 1.

It is understood that in another embodiment, the box 2 may have a different general shape, of the prismatic type with a polygonal base.

The blank 1 comprises first of all four panels 4, 5, 6, 7.

The panels 4, 5, 6, 7 are each of substantially square shape, the box 2 being cubic.

The panels 4, 5, 6, 7 are placed one after the other and in continuation of the others.

The panel 4 and the panel 5 are associated with one another by one of their common edges forming a grooved fold line 8.

The same is true for panels 5 and 6 and the fold line 9, as well as panels 6 and 7 and the fold line 10.

On its edge 11 parallel and opposite to the fold line 8, forming a grooved fold line, the panel 4 has an extension forming a fastening tab 12. This tab 12 is intended to be secured to the panel 7 from its edge 13 especially inwards.

The fold lines 8, 9, 10 and 11 are substantially parallel to each other.

The edge 13 of the panel 7 opposite and parallel to the fold line 10 is free.

The four panels 4, 5, 6, 7 thus defined form a generally rectangular assembly comprising first and second longitudinal edges 14, 15, respectively, extending substantially perpendicular to the fold lines 8, 9, 10 and 11.

From the longitudinal edge 14, forming a grooved fold line, extend transversely on the one hand, a flap 16 to the right of the panel 5 and on the other hand, two flaps 17 and 18 for wedging and blocking, respectively at right panels 4 and 6.

The edge 14 to the right of the panel 7 is free.

The invention also relates to the sides of a box 2 having for example a general pyramidal shape.

In this case, the fold lines 8, 9, 10, 11 would not be exactly parallel to each other but slightly inclined with respect to each other.

In the same way, the edges 14, 15 would not be rectilinear, each one, from one end to the other but made up of a succession of rectilinear sections slightly inclined each on the adjacent one.

The shutter 16 first comprises a main part 19, of substantially square shape adjoining the panel 5.

It then comprises a part in the form of a flap 20 adjoining the part 19 by a grooved fold line.

The flap 16 thus defined alone forms a bottom for the box 2.

The two flaps 17, 18 are placed on either side of the flap 16. Each of them is formed by a series of panels, as described below.

These two flaps 17, 18 and the constituent panels, once placed in volume in the box 2, form means for wedging the content 3, integrated into the box 2.

From the longitudinal edge 15 forming a grooved fold line, extends transversely one or more flaps intended to form a cover for the box 2.

In this case, there is first provided a flap 21 adjoining the panel 7, having a structure similar to that of the flap 16, that is to say with a main part 22 and a flap-shaped part 23.

Secondly, there are two panels 24, 25 adjoining panels 4 and 6 respectively.

These two panels 24, 25 are intended, in the box 2 to come inside and to the right of the flap 21, and more particularly of its part 22, while promoting the maintenance of the flap 23.

The edge 15 to the right of the panel 5 is free.

The two flaps 17, 18 are, in general, similar to each other while being arranged symmetrically with respect to each other with respect to a center line D of the panel 5 and flap 16, extending parallel to the fold lines 8, 9 and perpendicular to the edges 14, 15.

Consequently, it will be sufficient to describe only one of the flaps 17, 18 - for example of the flap 17 -, the structure of the flap 18 being deduced therefrom by symmetry.

The flap 17 has a generally rectangular external shape, being limited by two small sides parallel to each other, namely the edge 14 forming a grooved fold line and a free edge 26, and two large rectilinear sides 27 and 28 respectively corresponding to the lines of folding 8 and 11 with which they are parallel, adjacent and substantially in extension.

More specifically, there is provided, in the embodiment considered, a small offset between the sides 27, 28 and the fold lines 8 and 11, the sides 27, 28 being closer to each other than are the fold lines 8 and 11. For this purpose, the sides 27, 28 are slightly offset towards the inside of the flap 17. They are connected to the respective fold lines 8, 11 by small recesses 29, 30 inclined relative to the lines 8, 11 and sides 27, 28.

The recesses 29, 30 and the small offsets of the sides 27, 28 have the function of facilitating the folding of the flap 17 and its volume, preventing the flap from interfering undesirably with the side walls of the box formed by the panels 4, 5, 6, 7.

The recess 29 is attached to the grooved fold line 14.

The recess 30 is slightly removed from it. This recess 30, in the box 2 formed, is located opposite the panel 5.

Consequently, the spacing of the recess 30 has the function of ensuring effective retention of the flap 20 of the flap 16, and this without preventing the mechanization of the mounting of the flap 17.

The shutter 17 comprises a series of panels associated one after the other by grooved fold lines extending parallel to the line 14 and to the short side 26.

These panels are, from line 14 and up to the short side 26: a base panel 31, a raising panel 32, a support panel 33, a double centering panel 34a, 34b, a double panel of blocking 35a, 35b, a first fixing panel 36 and a second fixing panel 37.

The base panel 31 includes the recesses 29, 30 previously mentioned.

It is limited, opposite the folding line 14, by a grooved folding line 38 separating it from the raising panel 32.

The raising panel 32 is limited by the grooved fold line 38 and a grooved fold line 39 separating it from the support panel 33.

On the raising panel 32 is formed, in its middle part, a notch 40 in a general U shape, adjoining the fold line 39, by its two wings, one being parallel to the fold line 39. The line folding 39 is therefore interrupted in the notch 40.

The support panel 33 comprises two parts, 41 and 42 respectively. These two parts 41, 42 are contiguous to each other without fold lines between them. They are distinct from one another, essentially by their form and function.

The first part 41 is adjacent to the raising panel 32 and therefore to the fold line 39. It extends between the two longitudinal edges 27, 28 of the flap 17 in the same way as the panels 31, 32 and 37.

The second part 42 is adjacent to the first part 41 in its middle zone and opposite the fold line 39.

The second part 42 is limited, on either side by two free longitudinal edges 43a and 43b respectively rectilinear extending parallel to the long sides 27, 28.

The second part 42 is also limited, opposite the first part 41 by a grooved fold line 44 separating it from the first fixing panel 36.

Furthermore, the first part 41 is limited, opposite the grooved fold line 39 by a grooved fold line in two sections 45a, 45b placed on either side of the second part 42.

These two sections of fold lines 45a, 45b delimit the support panel 33 - and more particularly its first part 41 - and the double centering panel 34a, 34b, respectively.

At the place where the fold line 39 is interrupted, as has been mentioned, the first part 41 of the support panel 33 includes a projection, median, 46.

This projection 46 comes to cooperate with the notch 40, while being housed there. The projection 46 occupies all or only part of the notch 40.

The support panel 33 therefore has, in elevation, a general shape of T having a projection 46.

The first fixing panel 36 is attached to the second part 42 of the support panel 33. It is limited, on both sides, by the free edges 43a, 42b. Opposite the fold line 44, the first fixing panel 36 is limited by a free edge 47.

The two centering panels 34a, 34b are placed on either side for part of the second part 42 of the support panel 33 and, in part, for the part of the first fixing panel 36 adjacent to the support panel 33 .

Each of the centering panels 34a, 34b is firstly limited on the one hand by the fold line sections 45a, 45b and, on the other hand, on the other hand, by two fold line sections 48a, 48b arranged opposite, placed between the centering panels 34a, 34b and the locking panels 35a, 35b respectively.

Each of the centering panels 34a, 34b is limited in the second place, on the one hand by the corresponding longitudinal free edge 27, 28 and, on the other hand, on the other hand, by a first free cutout 49a, 49b having a direction general longitudinal corresponding to that of the edges 27, 28.

The first cutouts 49a, 49b of the centering panels 34a, 34b are spaced from the free edges 43a, 43b opposite the second part 42 of the support panel 33, providing between them two free spaces 50a, 50b respectively.

The fold line sections 48a, 48b are located to the right of the first fixing panel 36.

The two locking panels 35a, 35b are positioned as an extension of the two centering panels 34a, 34b.

The two blocking panels 35a, 35b are thus placed on either side of the first fixing panel 36.

Each of the blocking panels 35a, 35b is limited, firstly by the fold line sections 48a, 48b and, on the other hand, by two sections of fold line 51a, 51b, arranged facing each other, placed between the blocking panels 35a, 35b and the second fixing panel 37.

Each of the blocking panels 35a, 35b is limited, secondly, on the one hand by the corresponding free longitudinal edge 27, 28 and, on the other hand, on the other hand, by a second free cutout 52a, 52b.

The second cuts 52a, 52b are an extension of the first cuts 49a, 49b.

As for the first cutouts 49a, 49b, the second cutouts 52a, 52b of the locking panels 35a, 35b are spaced from the free edges 43a, 43b opposite the first fixing panel 36, leaving the free spaces 50a, 50b respectively, already mentioned.

These free spaces 50a, 50b thus partially limited by the cutouts 49a, 49b, 52a, 52b facilitate the folding of the panels and the mounting of the box.

The cutouts 49a, 49b, 52a, 52b participate in the positioning and blocking of the content 3.

The cutouts 49a, 52a on the one hand, 49b, 52b on the other hand respectively have a general profile of the same type, adapted to the shape of the content 3 to ensure the positioning and blocking functions.

Furthermore, the cutouts 49a, 49b on the one hand, 52a, 52b on the other hand respectively have a general profile of the same type.

In the embodiment shown the pairs of cuts 49a, 52a, on the one hand, 49b, 52b on the other hand each form a kind of V-shaped notch provided from the ends 53a, 54a, 53b, 54b respectively of its branches 55a , 56a, 55b, 56b respectively, of two wings 57a, 58a, 57b, 58b directed towards the outside of the V.

The two V thus defined have points respectively 59a, 59b. The tip 59a is located on the section of fold line 48a. The tip 59b is located near but away from the fold line section 48b, on the centering panel 34b.

The two Vs are turned towards each other and towards the median axis of the flap 17. Consequently, the tip 59a is closer to the corresponding longitudinal edge 27 than the ends 53a, 54a. And similarly for the tip 59b relative to the edge 28 and the ends 53b, 54b.

The two wings of each pair 57a, 58a, on the one hand, 57b, 58b on the other hand are collinear and spaced from one another. They extend parallel to the longitudinal edges 27,28. They are spaced from the free edges 43a, 43b located opposite. The wings 57a, 57b interfere perpendicularly with the ends of the sections 45a, 45b of the fold lines. These sections are therefore extended towards the free edges 43a, 43b by two cutouts 60a, 60b.

The branch 55a is curved with a concavity facing the free edge 43a opposite.

The branch 56a is curved with convexity facing the free edge 43a opposite.

The branch 55b is curved with a concavity facing the free edge 43b opposite.

The branches 55a, 56a, 55b have a regular profile. On the contrary, the branch 56b has a tormented profile but having, overall, a concavity facing the free edge 43b opposite.

More specifically, the branch 56b has three sections, namely two end sections respectively adjoining the wing 58b and the tip 59b and a median section placed between them.

The two end sections are arranged substantially parallel to each other, but offset from each other. They are inclined relative to the folding section 48b and the wing 58b, for example at approximately 45 °.

The median section extends substantially parallel to the free edge 43b.

The second fixing panel 37 is limited, firstly, on the one hand by the short side 26 and, on the other hand, on the other hand by the two folding sections 51a, 51b and, collinear between them, an edge free 61.

The second fixing panel 37 is limited, secondly by the two longitudinal edges 27, 28.

As follows from the above, the fold lines 44 and 48a, 48b of the second part 42 of the support panel 33 with the first fixing panel 36 on the one hand, and centering panels 34a, 34b with the blocking panels 35a, 35b, on the other hand, are offset one relative to the other, the first 44 being closer than the second 48a, 48b to the fold line 39 of the raising panel 32.

It is observed that the free edges 47 and 61 are combined, when the blank 1 is flat.

A second embodiment of the blank according to the invention will now be described, in relation to FIGS. 4 to 6.

The blank 1a, shown in FIG. 4, is generally substantially similar to the blank 1 of FIG. 1, in particular as regards the number, the size and the arrangement of the side panels 4, 5, 6, 7, as well as the arrangement and the shape of the closing flaps of the bottom 16 and of the top 21.

Thus the box 2a produced from the blank 1a has a general shape substantially identical to that of the box 2 produced from the blank 1 in FIG. 1.

The blank 1a however comprises two pairs of flaps, respectively of wedging 17a, 18a and of blocking 17b, 18b.

The wedging flaps 17a, 18a are respectively adjacent to the edges 14 on the same side of the side panels 4, 6 of the blank 1a, as for the flaps 17, 18 of the blank 1.

The locking flaps 17b, 18b are, in the embodiment shown, adjoining the same respectively panels 4, 6 but on the side opposite the wedging flaps 17a, 18a, namely on the side of the closing flap of the apex 21.

Where appropriate, the locking flaps 17b, 18b adjoin the panels 5 and 7, that is to say the panels without wedging flaps 17a, 18a.

Once placed in volume in the box 2a, the wedging flaps 17a, 18a allow the wedging of the lower part of the content 3 and the blocking flaps 17b, 18b allow the blocking of the upper part of the content 3.

The flaps of each pair, 17a, 18a and 17b, 18b, are generally similar to each other and arranged symmetrically one, 17a, 17b, with respect to the other, 18a, 18b, with respect to a center line D ′ of panels 5 and flap 16 extending parallel to the fold lines 8, 9 and perpendicular to the edges 14, 15.

Consequently, only the flaps 17a, 17b will be described, the structure of the flaps 18a, 18b deducing therefrom by symmetry.

The wedging flap 17a has a general external shape substantially identical to that of the flap 17 but a substantially greater length (the length being counted parallel to the line D ').

It also includes recesses 29, 30 similar to those of component 17.

Like the flap 17, the flap 17a comprises a series of panels starting from the fold line 14 and up to the short side 26 (FIG. 5).

These panels are: a base panel 31a, a raising panel 32a, a support panel 33a, two centering panels 34c, 34d, a first fixing panel 36a and a second fixing panel 37a.

The base panel 31a is substantially identical to the base panel 31 of the flap 17 and arranged in the same way. It has a length of the order of half that of the bottom closing flap 16.

The raising panel 32a is attached on the one hand to the base panel 31a by a fold line 38a parallel to the line 14, and on the other hand, in part, to the two centering panels 34c, 34d by two sections of line , respectively 45c, 45d, substantially aligned, parallel to the line 14 and adjacent respectively to the longitudinal edges 27, 28.

The support panel 33a has two parts 41a, 42a adjoining one another without a fold line between them. The first part 41a is adjacent to the raising panel 32a by a fold line 39a which is parallel to the line 14 and located on a central part of the panel 32a more closely to the line 38a than the lines 45c, 45d. The second part 42a is adjacent to the first 41a and placed between the two centering panels 34c, 34d.

As for the first fixing panel 36a, it is attached on the one hand to the second part 42a of the support panel 33a by a line 44a and is also located between the two centering panels 34c, 34d.

On the other hand, the first fixing panel 36a is adjoining the second fixing panel 37a itself adjoining the two centering panels 34c, 34d by two lines 51c, 51d parallel to the line 14 and located at the same level as the junction between the two fixing panels 36a, 37a.

The line 39a separating the raising panel 32a from the support panel 33a and the lines 45c, 45d separating the raising panel 32a from the centering panels 34c, 34d are connected by curved cutouts 52c, 52d, with concavities turned one towards the other.

Each centering panel 34c, 34d is firstly limited by the raising panel 32a and by the second fixing panel 37a, and secondly by the corresponding longitudinal edge 27, 28 of the flap 17a and by cutouts 49c, 49d.

The cutouts 52c, 52d, 49c, 49d are separated from the support panel 33a and from the first fixing panel 36a by two free spaces 68a, 68b.

Like the cutouts and free spaces of the flap 17, these cutouts 52c, 52d, 49c, 49d and spaces 68a, 68b participate in the positioning and blocking of the content 3 and facilitate the folding of the panels.

Preferably, the cutouts 52c and 52d have a profile substantially identical to the concavity facing towards these free spaces 68a, 68b.

In addition, the cutouts 49c and 49d, which extend from the cutouts 52c and 52d, have a profile substantially similar and each comprise two sections 55c, 55d and 57c, 57d. The first section 55c, 55d extends over substantially the entire length of the second part 42a of the support panel 33a and has a concavity profile facing the free spaces 68a, 68b (length counted in the direction D '). The second section 57c, 57d which is rectilinear extends substantially over the entire length of the first fixing panel 36a and is substantially parallel to the edges 27, 28.

The shape of the support panel 33a is substantially consistent with that determined by the cutouts 52c, 52d and 49c, 49d.

In the present case, the longitudinal edges 43c, 43d delimiting this panel 33a are produced from several rectilinear sections following the same directions as those of the cutouts 52c, 52d, 49c, 49d.

Thus, these edges 43c, 43d each have a V shape, the ends of which are adjacent to the lines 39a, 44a respectively. They therefore have a convex profile facing the free spaces 68a, 68b.

It should also be noted that the lengths of the centering panels 34c, 34d and of the support panel 33a are substantially equal to that of the base panel 31a.

We will now describe the blocking flap 17b which has a general external shape substantially identical to that of the flap 17 but a substantially shorter length.

The shutter 17b also comprises a series of panels associated with each other, starting from the fold line 15 and up to the short side 26.

These panels are: a base panel 31b, a raising panel 32b, a support panel 33b, a first fixing panel 36b and a second fixing panel 37b.

The word enhancement in the expression "enhancement panel" is used by analogy with the enhancement panel previously described in connection with the flaps 17a, 18a. However, it should be understood that the raising panel 32b, in the box 2a produced is placed below the base panels 31b themselves in the upper part of the box.

The base panel 31b is substantially identical to the base panel 31a and has a length less than half that of the closure flap of the top 21. Unlike the panel 31a, the panel 31b comprises the recess 30 on the longitudinal edge 28 and the recess 29 on the edge 27, given the location of the flap 21.

The raising panel 32b is attached on the one hand to the base panel 31b by a fold line 38b and on the other hand to the support panel 33b by a fold line 39b.

Preferably, and as shown in FIG. 4, the raising panel 32b comprises two separate parts 32c, 32d separated by a free space 74, the part 32c being adjacent to the edge 27 and the part 32d being at the edge 28.

It can also be provided that these two parts 32c, 32d are connected by a narrow strip adjoining the line 38b.

The free space 74 is delimited longitudinally by two positioning cutouts 72a, 72b substantially rectilinear, and transversely by the line 38b and by a blocking cutout 73 adjoining the support panel 33b and the line 39b.

The cutouts 72a, 72b are substantially perpendicular to the fold lines 14, 15.

The cutout 73 substantially separates the support panel 33b from the space 74 in its middle and has a concavity profile facing the said space 74.

The support panel 33b further comprises a first notch 69 in which a locking tab 70 of corresponding shape is formed, adjoining the raising panel 32b, the line 39b being interrupted on this tab 70.

The locking tab 70 is of short length (of the order of a third of the length of the support panel 33b) and has a substantially V shape, one branch of which is directed towards the edge 28 is substantially perpendicular to the line 39b and l other branch is tilted.

The support panel 33b further comprises substantially in its middle a second notch 71 of length substantially equal to that of the first notch 69 and U-shaped, in which is formed the first fixing panel 36b.

The latter has a shape corresponding to that of the second notch 71 and is attached without a fold line to the second fixing panel 37b.

In addition, the second panel 37b is attached to the support panel 33b by two line sections 44c, 44d.

According to the embodiment shown, the longitudinal edge 27 of the flap 17b, which is located on the side of the flap 21, is bevelled so as to be able to easily lift the said flap when the box 2 is mounted.

It can also be provided that the edges 27 and 28 are both bevelled.

The bevel is produced on the base panels 31a and of the enhancement 32b and is turned towards the inside of the flap 17b, having substantially the shape of a flattened triangle.

• On déploie les quatre panneaux 4, 5, 6 et 7 et on solidarise la patte 12 sur le panneau 7.
  Dans cette situation, les panneaux 4 et 6 d'une part, 5 et 7 d'autre part, sont sensiblement parallèles entre eux ; les panneaux 4 et 5 d'une part, 6 et 7 d'autre part sensiblement perpendiculaires entre eux.
• On colle ou solidarise les deux panneaux de fixation 36, 37 par leurs faces situées d'un même côté du flan 1 et ce, grâce à un mouvement relatif de pliage du second panneau de pliage 37 sur le premier panneau de fixation 36, de 180° environ, autour des tronçons de ligne de pliage 51a, 51b et vers l'intérieur de la boîte.
  Dans cette situation, les panneaux de blocage 35a, 35b sont situés au droit du second panneau de fixation 37. Il en est de même pour une partie des panneaux de centrage 34a, 34b, pour leur partie attenante aux tronçons de lignes de pliage 48a, 48b. Enfin, le second panneau de fixation 37 recouvre totalement le premier panneau de fixation 36, le petit côté libre 26 venant en coïncidence avec la ligne de pliage 44.
• On fait pivoter l'ensemble du volet respectif 17, 18, à l'exception du panneau de base 31, autour de la ligne de pliage 38, de 180° environ pour l'amener pour partie à l'intérieur de la boîte (panneaux 36, 37, 35a, 38b) et contre le panneau latéral 4, 6 attenant. La face libre du second panneau de fixation 37 opposée à celle où se trouve le premier panneau de fixation 36 est collée ou solidarisée audit panneau 4, 6.
• On assure un pivotement d'environ un quart de tour vers l'intérieur de la boîte autour des lignes de pliage 14 et 51a, 51b. Lors du mouvement, le panneau de rehausse 32 et les panneaux de centrage 34a, 34b se replacent parallèlement à eux-mêmes et aux panneaux latéraux 4, 6.
• Il est alors possible de fermer le fond de la boîte en repliant la partie principale 19 du volet 16 et le rabat 20. Ce qui a pour effet de maintenir en position les volets 17, 18 précédemment déployés.

To make the box 2 from the flat blank 1 of the first embodiment, the procedure is as follows:

• The four panels 4, 5, 6 and 7 are deployed and the tab 12 is secured to the panel 7.
  In this situation, the panels 4 and 6 on the one hand, 5 and 7 on the other hand, are substantially parallel to each other; the panels 4 and 5 on the one hand, 6 and 7 on the other hand substantially perpendicular to each other.
• The two fixing panels 36, 37 are glued or joined together by their faces located on the same side of the blank 1 and this, by virtue of a relative folding movement of the second folding panel 37 on the first fixing panel 36, of 180 ° approximately, around the sections of fold line 51a, 51b and towards the inside of the box.
  In this situation, the blocking panels 35a, 35b are located to the right of the second fixing panel 37. The same is true for part of the centering panels 34a, 34b, for their part adjoining the sections of fold lines 48a, 48b. Finally, the second fixing panel 37 completely covers the first fixing panel 36, the small free side 26 coming into coincidence with the fold line 44.
• The whole of the respective flap 17, 18, with the exception of the base panel 31, is pivoted around the fold line 38, by about 180 ° to bring it partly inside the box (panels 36, 37, 35a, 38b) and against the adjoining side panel 4, 6. The free face of the second fixing panel 37 opposite to that where the first fixing panel 36 is located is glued or secured to said panel 4, 6.
• There is a pivoting of about a quarter of a turn towards the inside of the box around the fold lines 14 and 51a, 51b. During movement, the raising panel 32 and the centering panels 34a, 34b are replaced parallel to themselves and to the side panels 4, 6.
• It is then possible to close the bottom of the box by folding the main part 19 of the flap 16 and the flap 20. This has the effect of maintaining in position the flaps 17, 18 previously deployed.

In this situation, the main part 19 is substantially perpendicular to the panels 4, 5, 6, 7 and closes the bottom of the box. The flap 20 is placed against the panel 7, in the vicinity of the edge 14 and wedged between this panel 7 and the parts of the free edges 28 of the panels 31, 32 and 33. The panels 31, 33, 35a, 35b extend substantially parallel to the main part 19, that is to say substantially perpendicular to the panels 4, 5, 6 and 7. The panels 32, 34a, 34b extend substantially perpendicular to the main part 19, that is to say substantially parallel to the adjoining panels 4, 6.

The two fixing panels 36, 37 have substantially the same height, this being counted perpendicular to the short side 26 and fold lines 51a, 51b.

The cumulative height, counted in the same direction, of the raising panel 32 and the centering panel 34a, 34b, is less than the height of the side panels 4, 5, 6 and 7, counted along the fold lines 8, 9 , 10, 11. It is in particular a fraction of the height of panels 4, 5, 6 and 7.

For example, the locking panels 35a, 35b are located halfway up, or substantially halfway up, the box. In this case, the cumulative height of the panels 32, 34a, 34b is equal to, or on the order of half the height of the panels 4, 5, 6 and 7.

In the box produced, the free edges of the two projections 46 of the two flaps 17, 18 are adjacent or close. Consequently, the sum of the total widths of the two support panels 33 is at most equal, and generally close to the width of the panels 5, 7 and flap 16.

Once the box 2 has been made, the content 3 can be placed there.

Then the box can be closed by first folding the panels 24, 25 for the flap 21.

• on fait pivoter l'ensemble du volet de calage respectif 17a, 18a, à l'exception du panneau de base 31a, autour de la ligne de pliage 38a de la même manière que pour les volets 17, 18 ;
• on colle ou solidarise les faces internes des deux panneaux de fixation 36a, 37a sur la face interne du panneau latéral 4, 6 attenant ;
• on assure un pivotement d'environ un quart de tour vers l'intérieur de la boîte autour des lignes de pliage 14 et 51c, 51d, de manière à ce que les deux panneaux de base 31a, 31b, d'appui 33a, 33b et de centrage 34c, 34d soient sensiblement coplanaires et placés parallèlement entre eux ; dans cette situation, les deux panneaux de rehausse 32a, 32b, les premier et second panneaux de fixation 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b des deux paires de volets sont également parallèles entre eux et perpendiculaires aux plans définis par les panneaux de base 31a, 31b, les panneaux d'appui 33a, 33b et les panneaux de centrage 34c, 34d ;
• on peut alors fermer le fond de la boîte 2a suivant le même principe que pour la boîte 2, la partie 19 et le rabat 20 du volet 16 sont alors disposés par rapport aux panneaux 31a, 32a et 33a de manière analogue au cas du premier mode de réalisation ;
• on effectue les mêmes étapes que précédemment avec les volets 17b, 18b afin de les fixer aux panneaux 4, 6 ;
• après insertion du contenu 3, on peut assurer un pivotement vers l'intérieur de la boîte des volets 17b, 18b ainsi fixés, puis fermer la boîte grâce au volet 21.

According to the second embodiment, to make the box 2a from the blank 1a flat, the side panels 4, 5, 6 and 7 are put in place in the same way as for the box 2. Then we proceed in the same way next :

• the assembly of the respective wedging flap 17a, 18a is pivoted, with the exception of the base panel 31a, around the fold line 38a in the same manner as for the flaps 17, 18;
• the internal faces of the two fixing panels 36a, 37a are bonded or joined to the internal face of the adjoining side panel 4, 6;
• there is a pivoting of about a quarter of a turn towards the inside of the box around the fold lines 14 and 51c, 51d, so that the two base panels 31a, 31b, of support 33a, 33b and centering 34c, 34d are substantially coplanar and placed parallel to each other; in this situation, the two raising panels 32a, 32b, the first and second fixing panels 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b of the two pairs of flaps are also parallel to each other and perpendicular to the planes defined by the base panels 31a, 31b, the support panels 33a, 33b and the centering panels 34c, 34d;
• we can then close the bottom of the box 2a according to the same principle as for the box 2, the part 19 and the flap 20 of the flap 16 are then arranged with respect to the panels 31a, 32a and 33a in a similar manner to the case of the first mode of achievement;
• the same steps are carried out as above with the flaps 17b, 18b in order to fix them to the panels 4, 6;
• after insertion of the content 3, the box of flaps 17b, 18b thus fixed can be pivoted inwards, then close the box using the flap 21.

The two fixing panels 36a, 37a, 36b, 37b of each pair of flaps 17a, 18a, 17b, 18b have, as in the first embodiment, approximately the same height, this being counted perpendicular to the short side 26.

In addition, the height, counted in the same direction, of the raising panel 32a, 32b of each flap 17a, 18a, 17b, 18b is substantially equal to one third of the height of the side panels, so that the content 3 is enclosed between each pair of flaps.

On the other hand, the enhancement panels 32a of the wedging flaps 17a, 18a are adjacent, while the enhancement panels 32b are spaced from each other by a free space.

For the two embodiments considered, the content 3 is a bottle which has a bottom 62 of small dimension, to which is attached a side part lower 63 of substantially frustoconical shape whose base opposite the bottom 62 is wider than the bottom 62, and an upper lateral part 64 adjoining and of substantially opposite shape to that of the lower lateral part 63.

At its upper part, the content 3 may include a cap, plug, hood or spray value 66.

The two walls 63, 64 are connected to each other by a projecting outer edge 65.

The content 3, shown in the drawing, has at the place of its projecting edge 65, a cutaway 67 over about a quarter of its periphery.

In the first embodiment considered, the bottom 62 of the content 3 is intended to rest on the projections 46 and the adjoining areas of the first part 41 of the support panel 33.

Thanks to the raising panel 32, the bottom 62 is placed in height, therefore separated, with respect to the part 19 of the flap 16 forming the bottom.

The content 3 then comprises a lower side wall 63 held by the four cutouts formed by the two pairs of cutouts 55a, 57a, 55b, 57b and arranged in four angles.

The content 3 then comprises an upper side wall 64 held by the four cutouts formed by the two pairs of cutouts 56a, 58a, 56b, 58b and arranged in four angles.

The protruding outer edge 65 is located in the part of the V of the cutouts.

The upper side wall 64 is therefore clearly visible, above the panels 35a, 35b of the two flaps 17, 18, which contributes to the enhancement of the content.

It is observed that not only the bottom 62, but also the side walls 63 and 64 and the projecting edge 65 of the content 3 are spaced from the corresponding panels of the box 2.

This contributes to the protection of the content 3 against shocks, the content 3 being kept wedged and suspended.

Similarly, the equivalent cap 66 can be separated from the panels 24, 25 and flap 21.

In addition, the cutaway 67 cooperates, in the vicinity of its two connection ends with the projecting edge 65, with the cutout 56b. This explains the tormented form of it.

For the installation of the content 3, the latter is introduced into the box 2, the bottom 62 towards the support panel 33 and the protruding edge 65 is passed under the two cutouts 56a of the two flaps 17, 18, the content having then its axis slightly inclined.

Then the content 3 is brought back to its desired axial position by passing the projecting edge 65 and the cutaway 67 under the cutouts 56b.

In the second embodiment, the bottom 62 of the content 3 is intended to rest in particular on at least part of the support panels 33a of the wedging flaps 17a, 18a and on the cutouts 52c, 52d of the enhancement panels 32a.

Thus, the lower wall 63 of the content 3 is centered by the cutouts 49c and 49d and wedged by the cutouts 52c, 52d, these cutouts 49c, 49d, 52c, 52d having a profiled shape corresponding substantially to that of the lower wall 63.

As for the first embodiment, the bottom 62 is therefore moved away from the part 19 of the flap 16.

On the other hand, the support panels 33b of the locking flaps 17b, 18b are supported on the upper wall 64, the cap 66 of the content 3 is centered between the free spaces 74 and the blocking cutout 73, which corresponds substantially in the form of the content 3, blocks the upper wall 64.

In this way, the content 3 is kept wedged and is separated from the side panels 4, 5, 6, 7 and from the closing flaps 16, 21.

It is further noted that, given the presence of the locking flaps 17b, 18b, the panels 24 and 25, favoring the maintenance of the flap 23 of the closing flap of the top 21, are no longer necessary.

For the installation of the content 3, the latter is introduced into the box 2 before the flap of the locking flaps 17b, 18b, the bottom 62 towards the support panels 33a.

Then the content 3 is rotated so that the cutaway 67 is parallel to the side panel 5.

The locking flaps 17b, 18b are then folded down towards the content 3, the locking tabs 70 coming against the cutaway 67 by their inclined edge.

We can then close the box 2a with the flap 21 whose flap 23 is held by the cutouts 30 of the flaps 17b, 18b.
