Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new system intended for the packaging of one or more articles of relatively high weight and / or dimensions, to allow, at will, either transportation and handling, or presentation at the point of sale.
  • Such articles can be, for example, household objects or intended for housing, such as a series of plates or glasses, batteries of diffusers for light fixtures, or bottles, works of art, pieces of tooling or the like, a characteristic common to all these articles being that it is both relatively heavy and bulky, and at the same time fragile.
  • the system according to the invention eliminates both the risk of breakage and this loss of time, by allowing the same base to be used both for the transport and handling of the articles and for their presentation at the point of sale. According to the invention, it suffices to associate with this single base a removable protective volume to constitute a transport packaging, and remove this protective volume to dispose of the items directly arranged on a display.
  • the volume described in this document is suitable for elongated objects of reduced size.
  • the lower volume is made up of a succession of closed prismatic volumes, having horizontal partitions only on two sides.
  • the system of the invention comprises a closed lower volume, above which can be fitted an upper volume open on its lower face, said volumes being made of cardboard, the upper volume consisting of a horizontal upper wall and a vertical peripheral partition, the shape and dimensions of which are such that said vertical peripheral partition covers the lower volume by enclosing said article for its transport when the upper volume is embedded on the lower volume, while said lower volume serves directly as a base for presentation of said article when said upper volume is removed.
  • the invention is characterized in that the lower volume consists of a bowl formed by a horizontal bottom delimited by a vertical peripheral rim and closed by an upper partition distinct from the bowl and generally horizontal in appearance, in which is practiced at least one window in which a portion of said article can be accommodated, with a view to its maintenance and presentation, said upper volume coming to cover the peripheral rim of the lower volume.
  • the upper partition of the lower volume is a curved blank so that said window provides said article with a three-dimensional housing, and more particularly, the packaging being of rectangular shape, the blank closing the lower volume is rectangular and its width is greater than the width of said bowl, so that once in place, its surface has the appearance of a dihedral surface in which said window is practiced thus ensuring the article a three-dimensional support.
  • the holding in place of said article by said base is reinforced by means of a second blank similar to the first and placed over the article before embedding from the upper volume to the lower volume.
  • the articles housed in the packaging having a determined shape, but various possible dimensions
  • the blank windows have on at least some of their edges grooved zones so as to conform to the dimensions of said articles by folding under the effect of their placement in windows.
  • At least one zone of the vertical partition of the upper volume has windows intended to reveal indications made on zones facing the vertical rim of the lower volume.
  • the volumes constituting the system according to the invention can have any shape, for example the two volumes are of general prismatic or pyramidal shape with rectangular or polygonal base, or else the two volumes are of generally cylindrical or conical shape with circular base or oval, but in practice they will be of rectangular shape, the most convenient to realize. They will be made of any suitable material, and preferably of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like.
  • the system according to the invention comprises a lower volume 1 and an upper volume 2, made for example of corrugated cardboard.
  • the system is parallelepipedic, volumes 1 and 2 each having the shape of a prism with a rectangular base of length L and width l.
  • the lower volume consists of a bowl formed by a bottom 3 delimited by a vertical rim 4, and by an upper partition 5, preferably created from an independent blank as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and having, as appears in FIGS. 1 and 2, a curved shape, of dihedral appearance along an axial fold 6.
  • this partition which closes the bowl, windows 7 are formed, the shape and dimensions of which are adapted to those of the articles to be placed in this packaging.
  • the articles A are light diffusers of circular shape, a portion of which A 'penetrates inside the closed volume 1, to a degree ensuring their maintenance in position, even during handling and transport. .
  • an auxiliary blank 5 ' is placed over the articles A.
  • This blank 5 ′ may be identical to the blank 5, that is to say also include windows 7 ′ in which the articles A fit, which are thus completely immobilized.
  • the blank 5 ′ can be a simple dish with a flat bottom which is applied to these flat upper faces, which is sufficient to maintain the articles A.
  • the lower volume 1, furnished with articles A, constitutes for these a directly usable display.
  • the upper volume 2 is in the form of a prismatic box, of length L and width l, having a height H slightly greater than that of the whole of the volume 1 with the articles A in place. Its lower face being open, it is easy to fit it over said assembly, as can be seen in FIG. 2, the lower edge 8 of the peripheral wall 9 of the upper volume 2 flush with the lower edge 10 on which the peripheral rim 4 of the lower volume 1 folds over the horizontal bottom 3.
  • the base 1 furnished with the articles A, as described above, possibly supplemented by the auxiliary blank 5 ′, is entirely enclosed in volume 2, the whole of the base 1, and of the protective volume 2 then constituting, without any other arrangement, otherwise its joining by an adhesive tape joining the underside of the bottom 3 and the vertical panels 8 and 9, a packaging allowing the transport and handling of items A.
  • this support is made three-dimensional thanks to the curve of the blank 5 once in place.
  • the width l 'of the upper surface 5 is greater than the width l of the bowl 1, so that, once in place, the surface 5 will be folded down around its axis 6, providing a dihedral appearance, as well as the windows 7. Edges 11 and 12 on the four sides of the surface 5 are used to guide the surface 5 on the top of the bowl 1.
  • the windows 13 can be arranged to receive articles A all having the same shape, but different dimensions.
  • grooved zones 14 are provided in such a way that, when an article A of larger dimensions is inserted, these zones are deformed so as to adapt to these dimensions. This contributes to the multi-use characteristic of the system.
  • notches 15 are cut at the base of at least one of the panels 9 of the upper volume 2 (FIG. 1), so as to reveal indications 16 worn on the corresponding zones of the rim 4 of the lower bowl 1 ( Figures 1 and 2).
  • an edge 17 of said bowl can also be indented to better reveal the articles A on their display.
