Abstract

The holder, especially for dome-shaped containers with rims, is made from a rectangular panel of a pliable material such as cardboard, semi-stiff paper or a plastics material, e.g. polystyrene or polypropylene. The panel is folded in two across a centre line (2), and apertures (5,10) are cut in opposite long edges to receive the containers. Each of the apertures is between a half-circle and three-quarters of a circle in shape, and in a variant of the design the second half (4) of the panel can be left without apertures. The two halves (3,4) can be glued together, and a hole can be made in one end so the holder can be hung up.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système de maintien de récipients ronds comportant une coupelle et une bordure.The present invention relates to a system for maintaining round containers with a cup and a border.

Si on considère à l'heure actuelle le domaine alimentaire, et plus particulièrement le conditionnement de petits emballages de lait à café, ceux-ci sont disposés en vrac dans une poche plastique. L'inconvénient d'un tel arrangement est que lors du stockage ces petits emballages peuvent être comprimés et par voie de conséquence détériorés par compression. Il existe donc un besoin à l'heure actuelle de pouvoir maintenir des emballages de manière ordonnée, de sorte qu'on puisse les disposer alors dans un emballage global, par exemple de forme parallélépipédique.If we currently consider the food sector, and more particularly the packaging of small coffee milk packaging, these are arranged in bulk in a plastic bag. The downside of such arrangement is that when storing these little packages can be compressed and as a result deteriorated by compression. There is therefore a need to now being able to maintain packaging of in an orderly manner, so that we can arrange them then in an overall packaging, for example in shape parallelepiped.

Le but de la présente invention est la mise au point d'un système de maintien de plusieurs petits emballages ronds permettant également lors de l'utilisation une préhension aisée de la part de l'utilisateur.The object of the present invention is the development of a system for holding several small round packages also allowing grip when in use easy on the part of the user.

L'invention concerne un système de maintien de récipients ronds comportant une coupelle et une bordure, obtenu à partir d'un flan en un matériau pliable, ledit flan étant pliable le long d'une ligne de pliage de manière à créer une première face et une seconde face, chaque face ayant sensiblement la même dimension et se superposant l'une sur l'autre, dans lequel la première face comporte plusieurs évidements, prévus pour que viennent se loger les coupelles desdits récipients ronds.The invention relates to a container holding system. round with a cup and a border, obtained at from a blank of pliable material, said blank being foldable along a fold line to create a first face and a second face, each face having substantially the same dimension and overlapping one on the other, in which the first face has several recesses, provided so that the cups are housed said round containers.

Lorsqu'on replie la première face sur la seconde face, il faut prévoir sur lesdites faces des zones de collage, par exemple plusieurs points de collage, de manière à ce que les faces soient solidaires l'une de l'autre, mais cependant ménagent entre-elles un espace libre permettant à la bordure desdits récipients de venir se loger dans ledit espace libre. Il n'est donc pas possible que les faces soient collées l'une à l'autre sur toute leur surface. Ce qui se passe pour le système de maintien selon l'invention, c'est que la bordure du récipient se loge dans l'espace entre la première et la seconde face et le haut de la coupelle proche de ladite bordure vient se loger dans l'évidement de la première face du flan.When the first side is folded over the second side, it bonding areas must be provided on said faces, by example several gluing points, so that the faces are integral with each other, but however, leave a free space between them allowing the edge of said containers to be housed in said free space. It is therefore not possible that the faces are glued to each other over their entire surface. This happens for the holding system according to the invention, is that the edge of the container fits in the space between the first and second side and the top of the cup close to said border is housed in the recess on the first side of the blank.

La dimension du système de maintien n'est pas critique. Il est cependant préférable que la première et la seconde face aient une forme rectangulaire, de manière à prévoir les évidements sur la longueur desdites faces. Il est là aussi préférable de prévoir les évidements sur les deux longueurs du rectangle, de sorte qu'on puisse disposer le maximum de petits emballages ronds. Sur le plan de la disposition des évidements sur chaque longueur, il est possible soit de les mettre face à face, soit de les mettre de manière décalée. La disposition préférée consiste en des évidements face à face.The size of the support system is not critical. he however is better than the first and second side have a rectangular shape, so as to provide the recesses along the length of said faces. He is there too better to plan the recesses on both lengths of the rectangle, so that we can have the maximum of small round packages. In terms of the arrangement of recesses on each length, it is possible either to put them face to face, or put them in an offset way. The preferred arrangement consists of recesses facing face.

Le nombre des évidements sur chaque longueur n'est pas non plus critique. Cependant pour des raisons de grandeur d'emballage, on prévoit un système de maintien comportant entre 3 et 7 évidements par longueur , de préférence 4 ou 5 évidements.The number of recesses on each length is also not more critical. However for reasons of grandeur a packaging system is provided, comprising between 3 and 7 recesses per length, preferably 4 or 5 recesses.

Le type de récipients ronds à maintenir n'est pas non plus critique. Il peut s'agir aussi bien de récipients dans le domaine alimentaire que non alimentaire. Dans le domaine non alimentaire, on peut par exemple envisager des petits pots de peinture de couleurs différentes qu'on dispose dans le système de maintien selon l'invention. Dans le domaine alimentaire, on peut envisager soit des petits godets de crème à café, soit des capsules ou cartouches contenant des doses de café torréfié et moulu, par exemple des capsules faisant l'objet de la demande de brevet EP 512'468. La dimension des ces récipients ronds n'est pas non plus critique. De préférence, on envisage des récipients ayant un diamètre au niveau de la bordure de l'ordre de 2 à 5 cm.The type of round containers to maintain is also not critical. It can also be containers in the food than non-food. In the field non-food, we can for example consider small different color paint cans available in the holding system according to the invention. In the field food, we can consider either small buckets of coffee cream, either capsules or cartridges containing doses of roast and ground coffee, for example capsules which is the subject of patent application EP 512'468. The dimension of these round containers is also not critical. Preferably, containers having a diameter at the edge of the order of 2 to 5 cm.

Il faut également que le matériau avec lequel on fabrique le système de maintien selon l'invention soit un matériau pliable et ayant une certaine élasticité, de manière à ce qu'on puisse sortir les récipients sans aucun déchirement. On utilise de préférence du carton, du plastique ou du papier semi-rigide. On utilise de préférence du papier ou du carton ayant un grammage compris entre 90 et 500 g/m2. Comme plastique utilisable, on prend de préférence du polystyrène ou du polypropylène.It is also necessary that the material with which one manufactures the support system according to the invention is a material foldable and having a certain elasticity, so that that the containers can be taken out without tearing. It is preferable to use cardboard, plastic or semi-rigid paper. Preferably paper or cardboard having a basis weight between 90 and 500 g / m2. As usable plastic, preferably take polystyrene or polypropylene.

Commes les évidements sont prévus pour y loger des coupelles rondes, on prévoit ces évidements d'une forme sensiblement circulaire et de préférence de la forme d'un demi-cercle. On peut également envisager une forme ovale. On prévoit un évidement ayant une forme comprise entre un demi-cercle et un trois-quart de cercle, de manière à améliorer l' encliquetage de la coupelle.As the recesses are planned to accommodate round cups, these recesses of a shape are provided substantially circular and preferably in the shape of a Semi circle. We can also consider an oval shape. A recess having a shape between a semicircle and a three-quarter circle, so that improve the snap on of the cup.

Il est possible pour le système de maintien selon l'invention de faire les évidements sur une seule face, mais il est également possible de les prévoir sur les deux faces, auquel cas bien sûr ils sont en regard sur chaque face.It is possible for the holding system according to the invention of making the recesses on one side, but it is also possible to provide them on both faces, in which case of course they are next to each other face.

Lorsqu'on sort de leur emballage les systèmes de maintien selon l'invention, il peut être avantageux d'y prévoir un orifice sur chaque face, de sorte qu'on puisse accrocher lesdits systèmes à une potence. On peut dans ce cas aussi bien prévoir un accrochage sur le petit côté que sur le grand côté du rectangle.When they are removed from their packaging, the support systems according to the invention, it may be advantageous to provide a hole on each side, so that we can hang said systems to a gallows. We can also in this case well foresee a hanging on the small side than on the long side of the rectangle.

La suite de la description est faite en référence aux dessins sur lesquels .

  • Fig. 1 est un flan pour faire un systéme selon l'invention dans une première forme de réalisation,
  • Fig. 2 est un flan similaire, mais dans une seconde forme de réalisation et
  • Fig. 3 est une vue en perspective montrant le système selon l'invention avec des récipients accrochés.
    • The following description is made with reference to the drawings on which.
  • Fig. 1 is a blank for making a system according to the invention in a first embodiment,
  • Fig. 2 is a similar blank, but in a second embodiment and
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the system according to the invention with hanging containers.

    • On dispose d'un flan (1) en carton qui présente une première face (3) et une seconde face (4), lesdites faces ayant une forme rectangulaire. On peut plier le flan (1) le long de la ligne de pliage (2). La face (3) présente des évidements (5) et la face (4) des évidements (10) : lorsqu'on plie les faces, ces évidements sont bien en regard. Le flan présente également des orifices (7) et (8) permettant un accrochage du système.We have a cardboard blank (1) which has a first face (3) and a second face (4), said faces having a rectangular shape. You can fold the blank (1) along the fold line (2). The face (3) has recesses (5) and the face (4) of the recesses (10): when the faces are folded, these recesses are well in look. The blank also has holes (7) and (8) allowing a hanging of the system.

    Pour la mise en position des récipients (non représentés), on opère de la manière suivante. Sur la ligne de fabrication des récipients, ceux-ci viennent se positionner dans les évidements (5) de la première face. Il est prévu des points de colle (9) et on rabat la seconde face (4) sur la première, de manière à ce que la bordure des récipients est entre les deux faces et la coupelle est encliquetée dans les évidements (5). Lorsqu'on veut retirer le récipient, les parties de débordement (11) retiennent les récipients et il faut donc tirer sur lesdits récipients, de sorte que compte tenu de l'élasticité du carton, lesdites parties (11) s'effacent pour libérer les récipients. Les évidements (10) et les débordements (6) de la seconde face n'ont pas de fonctionalité technique.For positioning the containers (not shown), we operate as follows. On the line of manufacturing of the containers, these are positioned in the recesses (5) of the first face. It is provided glue dots (9) and fold the second side (4) over the first, so that the edge of the containers is between the two faces and the cup is snapped in the recesses (5). When we want to remove the container, the overflow parts (11) retain the containers and it is therefore necessary to pull on said containers, so that given the elasticity of the cardboard, said parts (11) are erased to release the containers. The recesses (10) and overflows (6) on the second face have no technical functionality.

    C'est la raison pour laquelle on peut aussi les éliminer : ceci fait l'objet du second mode de réalisation de la figure 2. Le flan (12) comporte une première face (13) et une seconde face (14). La seconde face (14) ne comporte pas d'évidement, seule la face (13) comporte des évidements (19). Comme pour la figure précédente, on prévoit des orifices (17) et (18) permettant un accrochage du système selon l'invention. Des points de colle (20) permettent la solidarisation des faces (13) et (14) en pliant selon la ligne de pliage (15). Il est possible également de prévoir des décrochements (21) en bout des faces (13) et (14). Ces décrochements sont intéressants pour faciliter au moment de l'usage la prise du système selon l'invention.This is the reason why we can also eliminate them: this is the subject of the second embodiment of the Figure 2. The blank (12) has a first face (13) and a second face (14). The second face (14) does not have only the face (13) has recesses (19). As in the previous figure, we plan holes (17) and (18) allowing a hooking of the system according to the invention. Glue dots (20) allow the joining of the faces (13) and (14) by folding according to the fold line (15). It is also possible to plan recesses (21) at the end of the faces (13) and (14). These recesses are interesting to facilitate when the use of the system according to the invention.

    La Fig.3 montre l'accrochage de capsules à café présentant une coupelle (25) et une bordure (24) et disposés dans le système (22) selon l'invention. L'orifice (23) permet l'accrochage du système par exemple sur une potence. L'utilisateur peut ainsi à volonté prendre la capsule à café souhaitée, sans qu'il y ait un déchirement du système.Fig. 3 shows the attachment of coffee capsules with a cup (25) and a border (24) and arranged in the system (22) according to the invention. The hole (23) allows the attachment of the system for example on a bracket. The user can thus freely take the capsule at desired coffee without tearing the system.
