Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pleated packaging having a reinforced resistance to vertical load, formed of a device for reinforcement of a packaging for convex bodies, associated with a packaging produced from a thin pleated sheet whose folds are attached at their ends to give it a hold to the vertical load.
  • the flexibility of the sheet allows manually deploy the folds around the convex body; indeed, during the deployment of the folds with one hand, we hold the convex body with the other hand while squeezing between the fingers; the softer the film the less we need to tighten the convex body to hold it between the fingers; when this convex body is fragile like, for example, the sandwiches of shape appreciably cylindrical of revolution, fast food products, made from brioche bread, there is a risk of crushing the sandwich when the pleated packaging is deployed; the counterpart of the flexibility of the sheet used is that the packaging does not protect the sandwich from crushing during transport.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a pleated packaging with good resistance to vertical load, easy to deploy and easy to store when folded for transport.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly device, packaging as defined in claim 4.
  • Figure 1 shows the reinforcement device of the thin sheet constituting the package before folding and fixing the end of the folds.
  • Figure 2 shows a section of the thin sheet in line with the reinforcement device according to the figure 1 with the successive phases allowing its folding.
  • Figure 3 shows an exploded perspective view of the reinforcement device when deployed around of the convex body which has not been shown.
  • Figure 4 shows an exploded elevation view essential elements of the cutting device positioning and fixing of the elements composing the reinforcement device according to the invention.
  • Figure 5 shows a view of the main elements, in exploded elevation, of the folding device of the reinforced thin sheet according to the phases of the fig.2 and produced according to the device in fig.4.
  • the device consists in associating with the flexible sheet 1 (fig. 1) no longer a continuous reinforcement strip, but a discontinuous band formed by rectangular reinforcements 2 placed in the vicinity of each other and articulated between them by a hinge 3 formed from the thin sheet 1 which connects them to each other.
  • the pleating being formed of successive rectangular ranges 5 and 6 separated between them by folds 4 forming an integral part of the hinge 3, the rectangular reinforcements 2 are placed inside these rectangular ranges 5 and 6 and are fold over each other in the same way as the folds 4 of the thin sheet.
  • the succession rectangular reinforcements 2 connected together by the hinges 17 of the flexible sheet 1 constitutes a series dihedrons substantially forming a ring 18; when apply vertical loads on this ring 18 placed on a horizontal plane, the buckling of the reinforcements rectangular 2 under load is limited by setting under tension stress oriented horizontally from the thin sheet forming a hinge 17; the resistance of this ring 18 is limited, among other causes, by the strength of thin sheet 1 which eventually tears under the action of voltage when the load becomes too important; the rectangular reinforcement 2 can then flex.
  • the support cylinder 22 serves anvil to knives 25, integral with a cylinder of section 26, the wire 27 of which tangents the support cylinder 22 according to its generators.
  • the position of the knives 25 on the cutting cylinder 26 and its speed are determined for cutting rectangular reinforcements 2 whose width is such that it alternately adapts to the width of each of the thin sheet areas 5 and 6 (fig. 1) separating two successive folds 4 of the packaging when it is folded.
  • the tangential speed of wire 27 (fig. 4) of knives 25 is equal to or near the speed tangential of the support cylinder 22 according to the degree of wear knives 25; in any event the contact points wire 27 from knives 25 on the surface of the support cylinder 22 is always done in the same places, the holes or slots 24 suction used to maintain the reinforcements rectangular 2 being located between these contact points. Given the speed difference between the belt 19 and the surface of the support cylinder 22, as soon as the rectangular reinforcement 28 is cut, it is driven to the speed of the support cylinder 22 and thus a space between two rectangular reinforcements 28 and 29 successive.
  • the pleating is done using a process directly derived from the patent European 0 528 920; tracks 5 and 6 located on either side on the other side of a fold 4 are of width A 32 and B 33 with A> B; the beaches have alternately a width A 32 and a width B 33; the range 34 (fig. 2) of width A 32 is broken down into a range 35 of width A-B 36 and a range 37 wide B 38; these two ranges 34 and 35 are separate by a fold 39; the two ranges 37 and 41 of width B 38 and 33 being placed side by side; the rectangular reinforcement 40 includes a cut to the right of this fold 39; the cut of the rectangular reinforcement 40 (fig.
  • width A is produced on the support cylinder 22 by a second cylinder cutting 42; the rectangular reinforcement 40 being already separated of strip 19 by cutting through the cutting cylinder 25, the two pieces 44 and 45 obtained by cutting 43 remain substantially side by side; it does not pose problem since part 44 of width A-B is at the head of the rectangular reinforcement 40 of the beach of width A taken in the direction of movement; the cut in line with fold 39 can also be made with knives placed on the cutting cylinder 26; there are in these conditions a space created between the two parts of the reinforcement.
  • the sheet 46 provided with its rectangular reinforcements 2 passes on a preforming wheel 47 (fig.
  • a fold tightening wheel 53 composed of bars 54 comes to take the preformed thin sheet with its rectangular reinforcements; tracks 55 of width A-B are placed at the top of the bars 54 while the two tracks 56 and 57 of width B are placed in the hollow formed by two successive bars 54 and 58; The reinforcements rectangular are then on the outside of the wheel tightening the folds 53; when the bars 54 are approach the ranges 59 and 60 of width B approach and the rectangular reinforcements can easily overlap due to the space 12 (fig.
  • One way to fix rectangular reinforcements on the thin sheet is to use a reinforcement rectangular coated with a thin layer of material heat sealable placed on the outside 70 relative to to the support cylinder 22; the thin sheet can also be coated with a thin layer of heat-sealable material side 69 facing the rectangular reinforcement; fixation reinforcement is then made when applying the flexible sheet on the rectangular reinforcement by heating with hot air 68 from the face of the opposite flexible sheet to the one that is coated.
