Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for packaging, in a tray of semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, lots of stacked full containers with part thereof upper a flange which projects laterally and on which is fixed a sealing cap.
  • the invention also relates to a method of implementing places such batches of containers in this tray.
  • the invention finally relates to the grouping on a pallet handling stacks of trays containing lots of such containers thus conditioned.
  • Containers of this type are, for example, jars of yogurts or other dairy products, as well as other various pasty foods, especially for young children, and they usually include a cylindrical body or frustoconical in plastic material, closed at its part upper by a cover, which is sealed on a body flange protruding laterally towards outside.
  • various pots are attached laterally by these flanges, in which are provided for primers of rupture allowing the consumer to separate the individual pots, and several plates of such pots are generally stacked and held assembled by a flexible belt, for example, made of cardboard, to form a batch, which is offered for sale under this form in stores.
  • the belt flexible usually goes above and below the lot of superimposed pots and grips laterally along two sides parallel, while the pots are visible according to the two other sides, with their protruding flanges laterally.
  • the rims of the pots that make laterally protruding abut against the face internal of the adjoining wall of the tray, which limits the useful volume thereof.
  • the dimensions usual pot collars are such that even in optimally choosing the number of pots of each layer of a batch, the trays used do not cover the entire surface of the handling pallets.
  • the first object of the invention is a set comprising a tray of semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, with rectangular bottom and with side walls erected perpendicular to this bottom and adjoining each other and to this one by lines of folding, and, housed in adjoining positions in this tray, lots each consisting of superimposed layers of full containers, each container having a outwardly projecting collar, by which it is attached to the adjoining containers and on which is attached a shutter, the different layers of a lot being assembled using a flexible belt which pass above and below the lot and which surrounds it laterally along two opposite sides, this assembly being characterized in that the parts of the flanges of the containers in the bottom layer of each batch not belt contact of this lot and contiguous to a wall side of the tray protrude above this side wall and preferably rest on it.
  • a tray of semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard
  • each batch could possibly be consisting of a single layer of containers, naturally without belt in this case, including the adjacent flanges the four side walls of the tray are supported on these.
  • the invention also relates to a method of realization of the set which has just been defined, this process being characterized in that one of the the other the upper parts of at least two walls opposite of the empty tray intended to be engaged under the container flanges of the first layer of different lots, in that we go down towards the inside of the tray said lots in the position they must occupy in this tray, in that we release the walls separated from each other when the bottom of containers from the bottom layer of each batch arrived below the edge of these walls, but has not yet reaches the bottom of the tray, so that the walls previously discarded return to their original position by elasticity and come to engage under the flanges contiguous containers from the bottom layer, and in that that we bring the batches of containers in their position final in the tray.
  • the opposite walls of the empty tray coming from engage under the flanges, when they are not separated from each other, may be parallel between them or be inclined towards the inside of the tray, so as to come and then firmly grip the body of the containers in the bottom layer of each batch.
  • the bodies of the containers may have a cylindrical or frustoconical shape, with circular section, square or whatever.
  • the trays used have a bottom of dimensions smaller than those of the bottom of usual trays used for the same purpose, since the flanges of the containers, instead of coming up against the inner side of the side walls, protrude above these.
  • the gain in surface area of the bottom of the tray is such that it becomes possible to stack the trays on a handling pallet of usual dimensions (1200 cm x 800 cm) by perfectly covering the surface top of this pallet, without recessed trays or overflowing, with the stacks of trays in mutual contact.
  • batches of containers filled with the type of yoghurt pots having, in their part upper, a flange, which projects towards the exterior and of which a cover is integral are generally housed in cardboard packaging or corrugated cardboard, such as packaging 1 of figures 1 and 2, which have a rectangular section, include side walls of height at least equal to that of the lots packaged and are eventually closed in part superior.
  • the batches do not are more grouped in packaging, the side walls completely wrap them, but in trays with rectangular bottom, against the side walls from which the flanges of the containers no longer come in abutment, but on the edges of which they take support.
  • the trays used can be of different types, for example of the type from the blank 3 of corrugated cardboard precut and repressed shown in Figure 3.
  • This blank has a rectangular bottom portion 4, with which are adjoining, by two fold lines parallel, two transverse walls 5, intended to be erected perpendicular to the bottom 1, and by two lines folding perpendicular to the previous ones, two walls longitudinal 6, also intended to be upright perpendicular to the bottom 1. These walls 6 extend by shutters 7 adjoining these walls by lines of folding intended to be perpendicular to the bottom 4, these flaps 7 coming to be fixed against the internal face of the walls 5, for example by gluing.
  • lots 10 of full containers 11 to be packaged here have three stacked layers of containers but that number could naturally be different.
  • the containers of each layer have at their upper part a collar 12 protruding laterally, by which they are adjacent to and to which adjoins the closure for closing the containers.
  • Layers superimposed full containers are encircled so known by a flexible belt 13, here made of thin cardboard, which passes above and below the batch of containers and the grips laterally along two parallel sides.
  • the different lots 10 of containers are housed in adjoining positions in the trays, against internal face of two walls of which, here the walls transverse 5, apply the belts 13 of the lots, while the other two walls, here the walls longitudinal 6, are engaged below the flanges 12 containers from the bottom layer of each batch, these flanges 12 resting on the edge of the wall 6 contiguous, preferably without overflowing outside.
  • the walls 6 of the empty tray are perpendicular to the bottom 4 of the tray, but, as it was stated above, they can also be inclined towards the inside of the tray, to be straightened outward when the lots of containers.
  • a first advantage of this packaging method is that we considerably reduce the amount of cardboard corrugated used to group lots of containers, this which lowers costs.
  • a second advantage is above all that by reducing the lateral dimensions of the walls of the tray used, in overflowing the flanges of the containers above walls 5 or 6, it is possible to adjust these dimensions in such a way that the full stacks of trays occupy the entire upper surface of the pallets 2 of handling, resulting in much better stability of these batteries, which wedge each other.
