The partition is located at an equal distance from the walls to which it is parallel and is hinged on the other two walls (7,8) by folding lines perpendicular to the bottom. The partition has a height from the bottom greater than the walls to which it is parallel. In the part which projects above the walls is an opening (12) forming a handle.

Description

La présente invention concerne un conditionnement portable, en un matériau tel que le carton ondulé, pour objets divers, notamment pour bouteilles. L'invention concerne également une caisse américaine destinée à la réalisation de ce conditionnement.The present invention relates to portable packaging, made of a material such as corrugated cardboard, for various objects, in particular for bottles. The invention also relates to an American box intended for the production of this packaging.

On connaît de nombreux types de conditionnements en carton ondulé, notamment pour bouteilles, pourvus d'une poignée et dans lesquels des cloisons divisent le volume interne du conditionnement en un certain nombre de compartiments de section transversale identique, dans lesquels peuvent être logées les bouteilles (voir, par exemple, FR-A-2 617 128 et la demande de brevet français n°94.04373, dont la Demanderesse est titulaire).Many types of corrugated cardboard packaging are known, in particular for bottles, provided with a handle and in which partitions divide the internal volume of the packaging into a number of compartments of identical cross section, in which the bottles can be accommodated ( see, for example, FR-A-2 617 128 and French patent application No. 94.04373, of which the Applicant is the owner).

Ces conditionnements, généralement du type des valisettes, comportent habituellement des systèmes de cloisons relativement compliqués. En outre, ils se prêtent rarement à l'exposition en vente des objets conditionnés.These packagings, generally of the suitcase type, usually include relatively complicated partition systems. In addition, they rarely lend themselves to the display for sale of conditioned objects.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un conditionnement portable, pour bouteilles ou autres objets oblongs, d'une conception particulièrement simple, dans lequel les objets conditionnés peuvent être exposés directement en vente et qui peut être manipulé aisément par un acheteur éventuel.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing portable packaging, for bottles or other oblong objects, of a particularly simple design, in which the packaged objects can be displayed directly for sale and which can be easily handled by a potential buyer. .

L'invention vise également à proposer un conditionnement portable de ce type qui constitue une partie d'un autre conditionnement du genre caisse américaine, séparable en deux parties.The invention also aims to provide portable packaging of this type which forms part of another packaging of the American box type, separable into two parts.

L'invention vise enfin à proposer un conditionnement de ce type qui puisse être livré pré-assemblé aux utilisateurs et replié à plat avant utilisation, afin de faciliter son stockage et sa manutention.Finally, the invention aims to propose a packaging of this type which can be delivered pre-assembled to users and folded flat before use, in order to facilitate its storage and handling.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un conditionnement portable, en un matériau semi-rigide tel que le carton ondulé, pour objets divers, notamment pour bouteilles, du type comprenant :

  • un conteneur à section sensiblement rectangulaire, comportant une partie de fond rectangulaire et des parois latérales parallèles deux à deux et perpendiculaires au fond, ces parois étant articulées entre elles et sur les parties de fond par des lignes de pliage ;
  • à l'intérieur de ce conteneur, une cloison, parallèle à deux parois latérales du conteneur et définissant avec celles-ci et éventuellement avec des cloisonnements auxiliaires perpendiculaires à cette cloison des logements pour les objets conditionnés, cette cloison étant disposée à égale distance des deux parois auquelles elle est parallèle et étant articulée sur les deux autres parois par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires au fond ;
ce conditionnement étant caractérisé en ce que le conteneur est issu d'une caisse américaine, à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposée la cloison et dont les parois latérales ont été découpées de manière appropriée pour définir les parois latérales du conteneur.To this end, the invention relates to portable packaging, in a semi-rigid material such as corrugated cardboard, for various objects, in particular for bottles, type including:
  • a container with a substantially rectangular section, comprising a rectangular bottom part and side walls parallel in pairs and perpendicular to the bottom, these walls being hinged together and on the bottom parts by fold lines;
  • inside this container, a partition, parallel to two side walls of the container and defining therewith and optionally with auxiliary partitions perpendicular to this partition housing for the conditioned objects, this partition being disposed at equal distance from the two walls to which it is parallel and being articulated on the other two walls by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom;
this packaging being characterized in that the container comes from an American box, inside of which the partition is arranged and whose side walls have been cut out appropriately to define the side walls of the container.

La cloison du conditionnement aura avantageusement une hauteur, par rapport au fond, supérieure à celles des deux parois auxquelles elle est parallèle, et elle pourra comporter, dans la partie qui fait saillie au-dessus des parois parallèles, une ouverture formant poignée de préhension.The bulkhead of the packaging will advantageously have a height, relative to the bottom, greater than that of the two walls to which it is parallel, and it may include, in the part which projects above the parallel walls, an opening forming a grip handle.

Des volets attenants à la cloison et articulés sur celle-ci par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires au fond pourront être collés contre les parois non parallèles à cette cloison, de préférence de part et d'autre de celle-ci, de façon à former avec elle un profil en Z, pour faciliter le pliage à plat du conditionnement.Flaps adjoining the partition and articulated on it by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom may be glued against the walls not parallel to this partition, preferably on either side thereof, so as to form with it has a Z-profile, to facilitate flat folding of the packaging.

L'un de ces volets pourra d'ailleurs être lui-même attenant par une ligne de pliage perpendiculaire au fond à l'une des parois auxquelles la cloison est parallèle, de manière à permettre la réalisation du conditionnement à partir d'un unique flan de carton ondulé ou similaire, convenablement découpé et refoulé.One of these flaps may also be itself attached by a fold line perpendicular to the bottom to one of the walls to which the partition is parallel, so as to allow the packaging to be produced from a single blank of corrugated cardboard or the like, suitably cut and repressed.

Le fond de l'emballage sera constitué, de façon usuelle, de volets articulés par des lignes de pliage à la base des parois latérales et il pourra être de tout type connu dans la technique.The bottom of the packaging will usually consist of flaps articulated by fold lines at the base of the side walls and it may be of any type known in the art.

Bien entendu, bien que principalement destiné à des bouteilles, le conditionnement conforme à l'invention pourra être utilisé pour le transport ou l'exposition en vente de bien d'autres objets, notamment d'objets de forme oblongue tels que des bidons métalliques, des conditionnements d'aérosols, etc ...Of course, although mainly intended for bottles, the packaging according to the invention can be used for the transport or the display for sale of many other objects, in particular oblong objects such as metal cans, aerosol packaging, etc.

L'invention a également pour objet une caisse américaine destinée à la réalisation d'un conditionnement portable tel que défini ci-dessus, cette caisse comportant une partie de fond, des parois latérales parallèles deux à deux et perpendiculaires au fond, ces parois latérales étant articulées entre elles et sur la partie de fond par des lignes de pliage, une partie supérieure parallèle au fond et articulée sur les parois latérales par des lignes de pliage, et une cloison interne parallèle à deux parois latérales et articulée sur celles-ci par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires au fond, cette caisse américaine étant caractérisée en ce que, dans les parois latérales sont prévues des lignes d'amorces de rupture ou des zones d'affaiblissement raccordées entre elles, avec éventuellement des fils ou des bandes d'arrachage, permettant de séparer la caisse américaine en deux parties, à savoir une partie auxquelles la cloison est attenante, et une autre partie destinée à être mise au rebut.The subject of the invention is also an American box intended for producing portable packaging as defined above, this box comprising a bottom part, side walls parallel in pairs and perpendicular to the bottom, these side walls being hinged together and on the bottom part by folding lines, an upper part parallel to the bottom and articulated on the side walls by folding lines, and an internal partition parallel to two side walls and hinged thereon by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom, this American box being characterized in that, in the side walls are provided lines of breaking points or weakening zones connected together, possibly with tears or tapes, allowing the American body to be separated into two parts, namely a part to which the partition is attached, and another part intended for disposal.

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation d'une telle caisse américaine, dans laquelle la cloison est attenante par une ligne de pliage à au moins un volet contrecollé contre l'une des parois auxquelles la cloison n'est pas parallèle, le volet comportera une ligne d'amorces de rupture en coïncidence avec la portion correspondante de la ligne d'amorces de rupture de la paroi contre laquelle ce volet est collé.In a preferred embodiment of such an American box, in which the partition is attached by a fold line to at least one flap laminated against one of the walls to which the partition is not parallel, the flap will include a line of rupture primers coinciding with the corresponding portion of the line of rupture primers of the wall against which this flap is glued.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description détaillée qui va suivre de diverses formes de réalisation. Dans cette description, on se référera aux dessins annexés, qui n'ont pas de caractère limitatif et sur lesquels :

  • FIG. 7 is a view of another variant of the blank of FIG. 6.

On se réfèrera d'abord aux figures 1 à 5.We will first refer to Figures 1 to 5.

La caisse américaine 1, en carton ondulé, qui y est représentée, est constituée de deux parties 2 et 3, séparables par déchirement d'une bande 4 d'amorces de rupture ou d'une zone d'affaiblissement, ou encore par arrachage d'un fil ou d'une bande de matière plastique incorporée dans le carton ondulé.The American box 1, made of corrugated cardboard, which is represented therein, is made up of two parts 2 and 3, separable by tearing a strip 4 of incipient fractures or of a weakening zone, or even by tearing off 'a wire or a strip of plastic material incorporated in the corrugated cardboard.

La caisse américaine 1 comporte, de façon usuelle, deux parois longitudinales 5 et 6 et deux parois transversales 7 et 8 articulées entre elles par des lignes de pliage parallèles, tandis que le fond et la partie supérieure de la caisse sont constitués par des volets, 5a-5b, 6a-6b, 7a-7b, 8a-8b, attenants aux parois associées, 5, 6, 7 et 8, par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires aux précédentes.The American body 1 comprises, in the usual manner, two longitudinal walls 5 and 6 and two transverse walls 7 and 8 hinged together by parallel fold lines, while the bottom and the upper part of the body are constituted by flaps, 5 a -5 b , 6 a -6 b , 7 a -7 b , 8 a -8 b , adjoining the associated walls, 5, 6, 7 and 8, by fold lines perpendicular to the previous ones.

Conformément à l'invention, une cloison 9 est disposée parallèlement aux parois longitudinales 5, 6, à égale distance de celles-ci. Deux volets 10 et 11, attenants à la cloison 9 par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires au fond, sont appliqués et collés respectivement contre les parois 7 et 8, de part et d'autre de la cloison 9. Dans le cas présent, le volet 11 est attenant à la cloison 6 par une ligne de pliage perpendiculaire au fond, l'ensemble étant ainsi issu d'un unique flan de carton ondulé, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, mais la cloison 9 et les volets 10 et 11 attenants pourraient aussi bien être indépendants de la caisse américaine et être rendus solidaires de celle-ci par collage des volets contre les parois associées.According to the invention, a partition 9 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal walls 5, 6, at equal distance from them. Two flaps 10 and 11, adjoining the partition 9 by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom, are applied and glued respectively against the walls 7 and 8, on either side of the partition 9. In the present case, the flap 11 is attached to the partition 6 by a fold line perpendicular to the bottom, the assembly thus being produced from a single blank of corrugated cardboard, as seen in FIG. 5, but the partition 9 and the flaps 10 and 11 adjoining could just as well be independent of the American box and be made integral with the latter by gluing the flaps against the associated walls.

Les volets 10 et 11 comportent, eux aussi, des amorces de lignes de rupture 4a, 4b, qui se superposent aux portions de la ligne 4 des parois 7 et 8 contre lesquelles ils sont collés, de manière à permettre la séparation des parties 2 et 3 de la caisse américaine, par déchirement de ces lignes d'amorces de rupture.The flaps 10 and 11 also include primers for breaking lines 4 a , 4 b , which are superimposed on the portions of line 4 of the walls 7 and 8 against which they are glued, so as to allow the separation of the parts. 2 and 3 of the American box, by tearing these lines of breaking points.

La cloison 9 a une hauteur H par rapport au fond supérieure à la hauteur h1 des portions parallèles des parois 5 et 6 de la partie 2 et à la hauteur maximum h2 des parois 7 et 8, de sorte qu'après séparation des parties 2 et 3, cette cloison 9 fait saillie au dessus de l'ensemble des parois.The partition 9 has a height H relative to the bottom greater than the height h 1 of the parallel portions of the walls 5 and 6 of the part 2 and the maximum height h 2 of the walls 7 and 8, so that after separation of the parts 2 and 3, this partition 9 projects above all of the walls.

Dans la portion en saillie de cette cloison 9 est ménagée une ouverture 12, formant poignée de préhension, et après séparation des parties 2 et 3, la partie 2 forme ainsi un conditionnement portable, qui peut être exposé sur les lieux de vente avec les objets qu'il contient et être manipulé aisément par les acheteurs éventuels.In the projecting portion of this partition 9 is formed an opening 12, forming a grip handle, and after separation of the parts 2 and 3, the part 2 thus forms a portable packaging, which can be exhibited at the point of sale with the objects it contains and be easily handled by potential buyers.

Dans le cas où les objets conditionnés sont des bouteilles ou d'autres objets oblongs, on pourra, si on le désire, réaliser des compartiments individuels pour ces bouteilles, en prévoyant des cloisons intercalaires perpendiculaires à la cloison 9, ces cloisons intercalaires pouvant être constituées, de façon connue en soi, soit par des parties des parois 5, 6, repliées vers l'intérieur du conditionnement autour de lignes de pliage perpendiculaires au fond, soit par des éléments indépendants, comportant des échancrures perpendiculaires au fond et engagées dans des échancrures correspondantes de la cloison 9, à la manière des "croisillons" connus dans la technique.In the case where the packaged objects are bottles or other oblong objects, it is possible, if desired, to make individual compartments for these bottles, by providing intermediate partitions perpendicular to the partition 9, these intermediate partitions being able to be formed , in a manner known per se, either by portions of the walls 5, 6, folded inwardly of the packaging around perpendicular fold lines at the bottom, either by independent elements, having notches perpendicular to the bottom and engaged in corresponding notches of the partition 9, in the manner of the "braces" known in the art.

Naturellement, la caisse américaine pourra éventuellement comporter elle aussi une poignée escamotable de manutention d'un type connu en soi, ménagée dans l'une de ses parois latérales.Naturally, the American box could possibly also include a retractable handling handle of a type known per se, formed in one of its side walls.

La figure 6, sur laquelle les organes représentés sur la figure 5 conservent les mêmes chiffres de référence affectés de l'indice ' représente un flan en tout point identique à celui de la figure 5, à cette seule différence près que les volets 5'a, 6'a, 7'a et 8'a destinés à former le fond ont une forme permettant un montage semi-automatique.Figure 6, in which the bodies shown in Figure 5 keep the same reference numbers assigned the index 'represents a blank in every respect identical to that of Figure 5, except that the flaps 5' a , 6 ' a , 7' a and 8 ' a intended to form the bottom have a shape allowing a semi-automatic assembly.
