Abstract

The invention concerns a cardboard container characterised in that it comprises lining panels (501 and 502) of substantially the same surface area as the side walls (109 and 110), designed to be located opposite said side walls (109 and 110) parallel thereto, and integral with the closing panel (140) by one of their edges and either with a wall (107-109-110) adjacent to the base (106), or with a fixing flap (142) integral with the closing panel (140), or with both these elements, via a bellows (503) formed by at least two tabs (504-505-506, 515-516) mutually linked by a folding line.

Description

La présente invention se rattache aux contenants livrés à plat sous forme de flans partiellement collés, à partir desquels il est possible d'obtenir une boíte complète en volume, sans faire appel à des organes de fixation et de fermeture distincts du flan.The present invention relates to containers delivered flat in the form of blanks partially glued, from which it is possible to obtain a complete box in volume, without calling to separate fastening and closing members of the blank.

Il est possible de rendre extrêmement efficace la protection des parois latérales d'un contenant, notamment une boíte pour les envois postaux, par des panneaux de doublage, ce qui renforce la solidité du contenant déjà muni de rebords latéraux de protection.It is possible to make extremely effective the protection of the side walls of a container, including a box for postal items, by doubling panels, which reinforces the strength of the container already provided with lateral protective edges.

Les contenants connus sont généralement peu commodes car leur mise en volume nécessite des manipulations complexes et la mise en place d'objets est rendue difficile par le fait que le contenant proprement dit ne tient pas par lui-même en bonne position pour son remplissage, l'usager étant obligé de le maintenir en même temps qu'il saisit les objets à emballer.Known containers are generally inconvenient because their volume requires complex manipulations and the placement of objects is made difficult by the fact that the container itself does not stand by itself for filling, the user being obliged to maintain it at the same time as he grasps the objects to be packaged.

C'est ainsi que l'on connaít US 4 396 118 qui décrit un contenant qui comprend des panneaux de renforcement (ou « de doublage ») 39 qui sont solidaires par un seul de leurs bords d'un panneau de fermeture 19. Il est donc matériellement possible qu'au moins l'un d'eux se déforme en « baillant » par un de ses bords qui n'est pas tenu, permettant ainsi à une partie du contenu de s'échapper, accidentellement ou par une action frauduleuse délibérée, ce qui est incompatible avec la fermeture inviolable qui est souhaitée.Thus we know US 4 396 118 which describes a container which comprises reinforcing panels (or "lining") 39 which are secured by only one of their edges to a closure panel 19. It is therefore materially possible that at least one of them deforms by "yawning" by one of its edges which is not held, thus allowing part of the content to escape, accidentally or by deliberate fraudulent action , which is incompatible with the desired tamper-evident closure.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, on a déjà proposé des contenants munis d'adhésif à effet prolongé à des emplacements précis, de sorte que l'usager n'a plus qu'à démasquer cet adhésif pour réunir certains composants du contenant, ce qui maintient le contenant en volume, au moins en partie, l'usager retrouvant ainsi la liberté de ses mains pour emballer convenablement les objets à expédier.To overcome these drawbacks, containers have already been provided with effect adhesive. extended to specific locations, so that the user only has to unmask this adhesive to join certain components of the container, which keeps the container in volume, at least in part, the user thus finding the freedom of his hands to pack properly the items to be shipped.

Toutefois, il existe une demande de contenants ayant toutes ces qualités de commodité sans pour autant faire appel à de l'adhésif, en raison des nécessités industrielles assurant la mise en place de l'adhésif.However, there is a demand for containers having all these qualities of convenience without however use adhesive, due to industrial requirements ensuring the implementation place the adhesive.

La présente invention satisfait ces exigences, en permettant de réaliser un contenant très commode, économique et particulièrement robuste, avec ou sans adhésif à effet prolongé.The present invention satisfies these requirements, by making it possible to produce a container that is very convenient, economical and particularly robust, with or without long-lasting adhesive.

A ces fins, l'invention a pour objet un flan en carton ou matériau similaire disposé à plat et destiné à constituer après mise en volume et fermeture un contenant pour l'envoi par poste ou messagerie d'objets de toutes sortes, et qui présente une partie centrale et deux ensembles latéraux repliés sur celle-ci, des lignes de pliage transversales présentes sur la partie centrale et sur les deux ensembles latéraux déterminant,

    • L'invention concerne un contenant qui est mis en volume seulement quand il doit être garni des objets à emballer. Ce contenant est érigé à partir d'un flan livré à plat et obtenu à partir d'une ébauche convenablement découpée, marquée de lignes de pliage et munie de colle à certains endroits pour la fixation de certaines parties entre elles.The invention relates to a container which is placed in volume only when it is to be filled. objects to be wrapped. This container is erected from a blank delivered flat and obtained from a suitably cut blank, marked with fold lines and fitted with glue certain places for fixing certain parts together.

    Comme cela est déjà connu, on n'a pas représenté ici la phase préliminaire, connue de l'Homme de Métier, pour la constitution d'une ébauche, de sorte que la figure 1 représente le flan déjà préparé pour son expédition à plat, en vue d'une utilisation ultérieure.As is already known, the preliminary phase, known from the skilled person, for the constitution of a draft, so that Figure 1 shows the blank already prepared for shipment flat for later use.

    Ce flan présente une base 106 destinée à recevoir les objets à emballer, deux parois adjacentes transversales 107 et 108, ainsi que deux parois adjacentes latérales 109 et 110.This blank has a base 106 intended to receive the objects to be packaged, two adjacent walls transverse 107 and 108, as well as two adjacent lateral walls 109 and 110.

    La paroi transversale 107 est solidaire d'un panneau de fermeture 140, lui-même solidaire d'un volet de fixation 142.The transverse wall 107 is secured to a closure panel 140, itself secured to a fixing flap 142.

    Le contenant présente aussi des éléments distincts 113 et 114, qui n'appartiennent ni à la base 106, ni à la paroi transversale 108, ni aux parois latérales 109 et 110. Ces éléments distincts sont sensiblement quadrangulaires et divisés en deux pattes triangulaires 124-125 et 126-127 par des lignes de prépliage 117 et 118. The container also has separate elements 113 and 114, which do not belong to the base 106, neither to the transverse wall 108, nor to the lateral walls 109 and 110. These separate elements are substantially quadrangular and divided into two triangular legs 124-125 and 126-127 by pre-folding lines 117 and 118.

    Les pattes 125 et 127 sont collées à la face intérieure de la paroi transversale 108 et l'on décrit plus loin l'intérêt de cette structure.The legs 125 and 127 are glued to the inner face of the transverse wall 108 and we describe further the interest of this structure.

    Par ailleurs, le contenant présente deux panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 qui ont sensiblement la même surface que les parois latérales 109 et 110 et qui sont reliés chacun à l'une de ces parois latérales 109 - 110 par un soufflet 503 comprenant ici deux pattes triangulaires 504 et 505 de part et d'autre d'une patte centrale trapézoïdale 506, toutes trois déterminées par des lignes de pliage.Furthermore, the container has two lining panels 501 and 502 which have substantially the same surface as the side walls 109 and 110 and which are each connected to one of these side walls 109 - 110 by a bellows 503 here comprising two triangular legs 504 and 505 on either side of a central trapezoidal leg 506, all three determined by fold lines.

    De la sorte, lorsque l'on soulève les parois latérales 109 et 110 selon les flèches F4, le mouvement de redressement est en partie transmis aux panneaux de doublage 501 et 502, ce qui amorce leur soulèvement qui sera achevé par l'utilisateur selon les flèches F10.In this way, when the side walls 109 and 110 are lifted according to the arrows F4, the righting movement is partly transmitted to the lining panels 501 and 502, this which initiates their lifting which will be completed by the user according to the arrows F10.

    Pour mettre en volume le flan de la figure 1, on retire d'abord un ruban de protection 131 placé sur de l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 disposé selon une ligne continue qui s'étend sur toute la largeur de la paroi transversale d'extrémité 108 et sur les éléments distincts 113 et 114.To volume the blank of Figure 1, first remove a protective tape 131 placed on long-acting adhesive 130 arranged in a continuous line extending over the entire width of the transverse end wall 108 and on the separate elements 113 and 114.

    On soulève ensuite les parois latérales 109 et 110 selon les flèches F4, ce qui a pour effet de soulever la paroi 108 selon la flèche F2, grâce au collage des pattes triangulaires 125 et 127 sur la paroi 108.The side walls 109 and 110 are then raised according to the arrows F4, which has the effect of lift the wall 108 according to arrow F2, by gluing the triangular lugs 125 and 127 on the wall 108.

    On pince fermement les pattes triangulaires 124-126 et la paroi 108, ce qui a pour effet de maintenir dressées en position active les parois 108,109 et 110. Ici, la position active est une position définitive du fait de l'action irréversible de l'adhésif à effet prolongé.The triangular tabs 124-126 and the wall 108 are firmly clamped, which has the effect of keep the walls 108, 109 and 110 upright in the active position. Here, the active position is a final position due to the irreversible action of the long-acting adhesive.

    On peut alors placer les obj ets à emballer sur la base 106 en utilisant ses deux mains puisqu'il n'est pas nécessaire de maintenir quoi que ce soit du contenant qui est stable de lui-même.We can then place the objects to be packed on the base 106 using both hands since it there is no need to maintain anything from the container that is stable on its own.

    On soulève alors les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 selon les flèches F10, puis on soulève le panneau de fermeture 140 et son volet de fixation 142 pour les conduire dans la position de la figure 3, en guidant les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 à l'extérieur des parois latérales 109 et 110 contre lesquelles ces panneaux 501 et 502 se placent extérieurement.We then lift the lining panels 501 and 502 according to arrows F10, then we lift the closure panel 140 and its fixing flap 142 to drive them into the position of Figure 3, guiding the lining panels 501 and 502 outside the side walls 109 and 110 against which these panels 501 and 502 are placed externally.

    Ces panneaux 501 et 502 restent plaqués contre les parois latérales 109 et 110, sans qu'ils puissent être écartés accidentellement, grâce au fait qu'ils sont solidaires d'une part du panneau de fermeture 140 et d'autre part de la paroi latérale adjacente 109-110 par l'intermédiaire du soufflet 503.These panels 501 and 502 remain pressed against the side walls 109 and 110, without them can be discarded accidentally, thanks to the fact that they are integral with one part of the closure panel 140 and on the other side of the adjacent side wall 109-110 by through the bellows 503.

    On applique fermement le volet de fixation 142 contre la paroi transversale 108 afin qu'il se fixe énergiquement à l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 démasqué lors du retrait de son ruban de protection 131. The fixing flap 142 is firmly applied against the transverse wall 108 so that it firmly attaches to the long-acting adhesive 130 unmasked when removing its tape protection 131.

    On assure la fermeture au moyen d'une patte de blocage 510 engagée dans une fente 511 ménagée à la base de la paroi transversale 108, ce qui évite le danger d'un décollage du volet 142 car la patte de blocage 510 neutralise l'effort de décollage dû à l'élasticité du carton puisqu'ainsi la patte 510 solidaire du volet 142 se bloque dans la fente 511 de la paroi 108 et retient le volet en position dans laquelle il est appliqué contre l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130.It is closed by means of a locking tab 510 engaged in a slot 511 formed at the base of the transverse wall 108, which avoids the danger of the flap taking off 142 because the locking tab 510 neutralizes the take-off force due to the elasticity of the cardboard since thus the tab 510 integral with the flap 142 is blocked in the slot 511 of the wall 108 and retains the flap in the position in which it is applied against the long-acting adhesive 130.

    Le contenant terminé se présente alors comme on l'a indiqué schématiquement sur la figure 4 et l'on voit que les parois latérales 109 et 110 se présentent en retrait par rapport aux rebords latéraux 165 et 166, ceux-ci étant bien visibles extérieurement et pouvant jouer directement leur rôle de protection contre les chocs dus aux manipulations pendant le transport du contenant.The finished container then appears as shown schematically in Figure 4 and we see that the side walls 109 and 110 are set back relative to the edges side 165 and 166, these being clearly visible from the outside and capable of playing directly their role of protection against shocks due to handling during transport of the container.

    Si le contenant est préaffranchi, il ne reste plus qu'à lui appliquer une étiquette de destination et à l'expédier, sans autre opération de collage, d'agrafage, de nouage de lien ou autre.If the container is prepaid, all that remains is to apply a destination label to it and to send it, without any other operation of gluing, stapling, tying a link or the like.

    Pour ouvrir ce contenant, le destinataire saisit l'une de deux languettes 196 ou 197 afin d'exercer une forte traction sur un lien d'ouverture 195 connu en soi prévu sur la face intérieure du volet 142 (figures 1 et 2),et qui découpe ce dernier de part en part, au-dessus de l'endroit où il est collé à la paroi 108, de sorte que ce volet 142 et le panneau de fermeture 140 sont libérés et donnent accès aux objets emballés, sans pour autant que le contenant lui-même soit dissocié puisqu'il reste érigé par le maintien des parois 108, 109 et 110 au moyen de l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130.To open this container, the recipient grasps one of two tabs 196 or 197 to to exert strong traction on an opening link 195 known per se provided on the face inside of the shutter 142 (FIGS. 1 and 2), and which cuts the latter right through, above the place where it is glued to the wall 108, so that this flap 142 and the closure panel 140 are released and give access to the wrapped objects, without the container itself is dissociated since it remains erected by maintaining the walls 108, 109 and 110 by means of the long-acting adhesive 130.

    En se reportant maintenant aux figures 5 à 8, on voit une variante du mode de réalisation précédent, selon laquelle de l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 et son ruban de protection 131 sont disposés sur le flan non plus transversalement mais longitudinalement.Referring now to Figures 5 to 8, we see a variant of the embodiment previous, that long-lasting adhesive 130 and its protective tape 131 are arranged on the blank no longer transversely but longitudinally.

    En disposant l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 transversalement, comme cela est le cas du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 4, on bénéficie de l'avantage de ne placer qu'un seul ruban continu qui sert à la fois au maintien dressé des parois 108, 109 et 110 et à la fermeture du contenant par le panneau 140 et son volet 142.By placing the long-acting adhesive 130 transversely, as is the case with the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4, there is the advantage of placing only one ribbon continuous which is used both for keeping the walls 108, 109 and 110 upright and for closing the containing by the panel 140 and its flap 142.

    En revanche, cela a pour inconvénient que l'adhésif 130 et son ruban 131 doivent être appliqués sur l'ébauche, avant de réaliser le flan de la figure 1, sur la face opposée à celle sur laquelle on applique de la colle, d'une part pour la fixation des éléments distincts 113 et 114, et d'autre part pour la fixation, après pliage, de rebords latéraux 165 et 166, très utiles pour protéger le contenant et son contenu contre les dégâts dus aux chutes et aux coups subis pendant le transport.On the other hand, this has the disadvantage that the adhesive 130 and its tape 131 must be applied to the blank, before making the blank of FIG. 1, on the face opposite to that on which is applied glue, on the one hand for fixing the separate elements 113 and 114, and secondly for fixing, after folding, side edges 165 and 166, very useful for protect the container and its contents from damage due to falls and knocks during the transport.

    Il est facile de comprendre que ces dépôts de colle et d'adhésif sur deux faces opposées constituent une complication souhaitable d'éliminer. It is easy to understand that these deposits of glue and adhesive on two opposite sides constitute a desirable complication to eliminate.

    Ici, l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 et son ruban de protection 131 sont disposés après formation du flan de la figure 5, selon quatre segments alignés deux par deux.Here, the long-acting adhesive 130 and its protective tape 131 are arranged after formation. of the blank of FIG. 5, along four segments aligned two by two.

    Deux segments sont placés sur les éléments distincts 113 et 114 et deux autres sur le panneau de fixation 142.Two segments are placed on the separate elements 113 and 114 and two others on the panel fixing 142.

    Pour mettre le contenant en volume, on retire d'abord le ruban de protection 131 des deux segments d'adhésif 130 situés sur les éléments distincts 113 et 114, puis on agit comme précédemment, c'est-à-dire que l'on redresse les parois transversales 109 et 110 ainsi que la paroi transversale 108 puis on les maintient dressées grâce à l'adhésif 130 qui réunit les pattes triangulaires 124-126 (solidaires des parois 109 et 110) aux pattes triangulaires 125-127 solidaires de la paroi 108 (figures 6 et 7).To volume the container, first remove the protective tape 131 from the two adhesive segments 130 located on the separate elements 113 and 114, then act as previously, that is to say that the transverse walls 109 and 110 are straightened as well as the transverse wall 108 then they are kept upright thanks to the adhesive 130 which joins the legs triangular 124-126 (integral with walls 109 and 110) with triangular legs 125-127 integral with the wall 108 (Figures 6 and 7).

    Après mise en place des objets à emballer sur la base 106, on retire le ruban de protection 131 des deux segments d'adhésif à effet prolongé disposé sur le volet de fixation 142, on rabat le panneau de fermeture 140 et son volet 142 selon la flèche F11, tout en guidant les panneaux de doublage contre la face extérieure des parois latérales 109 et 110 (figure 7).After placing the objects to be packaged on the base 106, the protective tape 131 is removed of the two segments of long-acting adhesive disposed on the fixing flap 142, the closure panel 140 and its flap 142 according to arrow F11, while guiding the panels lining against the outer face of the side walls 109 and 110 (Figure 7).

    Après que le panneau de fermeture 140 ait été mis en place, on applique le volet 142 contre la paroi transversale 108 à laquelle il se fixe par les deux segments d'adhésif 130.After the closure panel 140 has been put in place, the flap 142 is applied against the transverse wall 108 to which it is fixed by the two segments of adhesive 130.

    Comme précédemment, on assure la fermeture au moyen de la patte 510 engagée dans la fente 511de la paroi transversale 108.As before, the closure is ensured by means of the tab 510 engaged in the slot 511 of the transverse wall 108.

    On n'a représenté ici que deux segments d'adhésif 130 sur le panneau de fixation 142 mais il va de soi que l'on peut en disposer plus, notamment trois en prévoyant un segment central (non représenté) près de la patte 510.We have shown here only two segments of adhesive 130 on the fixing panel 142 but it it goes without saying that we can have more, especially three by providing a central segment (not shown) near tab 510.

    Cela renforce la fixation du volet 142 à la paroi 108, ce qui peut s'avérer nécessaire lorsque le contenant a une largeur importante.This reinforces the attachment of the flap 142 to the wall 108, which may prove necessary when the container has a large width.

    Sur les figures 9 à 13, on a représenté un mode de réalisation selon lequel le contenant présente un couvercle coiffant formé par l'assujettissement des panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 au volet de fixation 142 par des pattes 203 et 204 solidaires du volet de fixation 142 et collées à l'intérieur des panneaux de doublage 501 et 502.In Figures 9 to 13, there is shown an embodiment according to which the container has a covering lid formed by the securing of the lining panels 501 and 502 to the fixing flap 142 by lugs 203 and 204 integral with the fixing flap 142 and glued inside the lining panels 501 and 502.

    Pour que l'ensemble soit stocké à plat, selon le flan de la figure 9, il faut que le volet de fixation 142 soit plié selon deux lignes obliques à 45° déterminant deux volets triangulaires 209 et 210.In order for the assembly to be stored flat, according to the blank of FIG. 9, the shutter of fixing 142 is folded along two oblique lines at 45 ° determining two triangular flaps 209 and 210.

    On observe que les rebords extérieurs de protection 165 et 166 ne sont présents qu'en regard des parois transversales 109 et 110 et des soufflets 503. We observe that the outer protective edges 165 and 166 are only present opposite transverse walls 109 and 110 and bellows 503.

    La ligne oblique qui relie les pattes triangulaires 504 et 506 entre elles, ainsi que la ligne de pliage qui relie les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 aux pattes 504, convergent et s'étendent jusqu'au bord du flan, c'est-à-dire au-delà des rebords extérieurs de protection 165 et 166.The oblique line which connects the triangular legs 504 and 506 together, as well as the line of folding which connects the lining panels 501 and 502 to the legs 504, converge and extend to the edge of the blank, that is to say beyond the outer protective edges 165 and 166.

    Cela a pour conséquence qu'après rabattement du couvercle coiffant 140-142-203-204-501-502 (figures 11 et 12) les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 se trouvent toujours parallèles aux parois latérales 109 et 110, à l'extérieur de celles-ci, mais en étant écartés d'elles selon une distance D sensiblement égale à la largeur L des rebords 165 et 166 (figure 13).This has the consequence that after folding down the cover 140-142-203-204-501-502 (Figures 11 and 12) the lining panels 501 and 502 are always parallel to the side walls 109 and 110, outside of these, but being separated from them according to a distance D substantially equal to the width L of the flanges 165 and 166 (Figure 13).

    Les parois 109 et 110 ainsi que les rebords 165 et 166 sont cachés par les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502, ce qui donne au contenant terminé (figure 12) l'apparence extérieure d'un contenant parallélépipédique, démuni de rebords de protection.The walls 109 and 110 as well as the edges 165 and 166 are hidden by the panels of doubling 501 and 502, which gives the finished container (figure 12) the external appearance a parallelepiped container, without protective edges.

    En fait, les rebords de protection 165 et 166 sont présents au bord des parois transversales 107 et 108 ainsi qu'en regard du fond 106, de sorte que les parois latérales 109 et 110 sont effectivement protégées des chocs et autres contraintes extérieures.In fact, the protective edges 165 and 166 are present at the edge of the transverse walls 107 and 108 as well as facing the bottom 106, so that the side walls 109 and 110 are effectively protected from shocks and other external constraints.

    Mais, en plus, les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 sont solidaires du contenant selon trois côtés : avec les parois transversale 107 et latérales 109-110 (par le soufflet 503), avec le panneau de fermeture 140 auquel ils tiennent de fabrication, et avec le volet de fixation 142 par les pattes collées 203 et 204. Cette structure lui donne une grande rigidité et, donc, une bonne résistance à l'enfoncement.But, in addition, the lining panels 501 and 502 are integral with the container according to three sides: with the transverse 107 and lateral 109-110 walls (by the bellows 503), with the closure panel 140 which they hold to manufacture, and with the fixing flap 142 by the glued legs 203 and 204. This structure gives it great rigidity and, therefore, a good resistance to sinking.

    De plus, les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 placés à l'extérieur des parois latérales 109 et 110 ne peuvent pas être soulevées accidentellement.In addition, the lining panels 501 and 502 placed outside the side walls 109 and 110 cannot be accidentally lifted.

    Les rebords de protection étant dissimulés, ils ne peuvent plus, accidentellement, constituer des éléments d'accrochage lors des manipulations du contenant.The protective edges being hidden, they can no longer, accidentally, constitute hooking elements when handling the container.

    Avec ce mode de réalisation, on constate qu'il est possible de positionner le lien d'ouverture 195 non plus sur la face intérieure du volet de fixation 142 mais de part en part, depuis un bord libre du panneau de doublage 501 jusqu'au bord libre opposé du volet de doublage 502 et en travers du panneau de fermeture 140 (figure 10).With this embodiment, it can be seen that it is possible to position the opening link 195 no longer on the inner face of the fixing flap 142 but right through from an edge free from the lining panel 501 to the opposite free edge of the lining flap 502 and across the closure panel 140 (Figure 10).

    Ce lien d'ouverture 195 peut donc être placé au meilleur endroit souhaité, comme par exemple à l'aplomb de l'emplacement de timbres ou autres marques d'affranchissement, de sorte que l'ouverture du contenant par arrachage du lien 195 a pour effet de détruire ces timbres ou autres marques, rendant ainsi impossible toute réutilisation frauduleuse du contenant.This opening link 195 can therefore be placed in the best desired location, for example directly below the location of stamps or other postage marks, so that opening the container by tearing off the link 195 has the effect of destroying these stamps or other brands, thus making any fraudulent re-use of the container impossible.

    En se reportant maintenant aux figures 14 à 17, on voit un mode de réalisation analogue à celui des figures 1 à 4 et les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références.Referring now to Figures 14 to 17, we see an embodiment similar to that Figures 1 to 4 and the same elements have the same references.

    Ici, on observe que les rebords de protection 165a et 166a solidaires des panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 ainsi que les rebords de protection 165b et 166b solidaires des soufflets 503 sont un peu plus larges que les rebords de protection 165 et 166 solidaires des parois latérales 109 et 110.Here, we observe that the protective edges 165 a and 166 a secured to the lining panels 501 and 502 as well as the protective edges 165 b and 166 b secured to the bellows 503 are a little wider than the protective edges 165 and 166 integral with the side walls 109 and 110.

    De la sorte, lorsque les parois latérales 109 et 110 sont redressées selon les flèches F4 et lorsque les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 sont également redressés selon les flèches F10, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 15, les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 sont décalés vers l'intérieur du contenant par rapport auxdites parois latérales 109 et 110.In this way, when the side walls 109 and 110 are straightened according to the arrows F4 and when the lining panels 501 and 502 are also straightened according to the arrows F10, as shown in Figure 15, the lining panels 501 and 502 are offset towards the interior of the container with respect to said side walls 109 and 110.

    Ainsi, lors de la fermeture du contenant selon la flèche F11 (figure 16), les panneaux de doublage restent toujours parallèles aux parois latérales 109 et 110 et se placent contre elles, mais à l'intérieur de celles-ci et non plus à l'intérieur.Thus, when the container is closed according to arrow F11 (FIG. 16), the panels of doubling always remain parallel to the side walls 109 and 110 and are placed against them, but inside of them and no longer inside.

    Ils sont donc parfaitement protégés contre toute sollicitation extérieure pouvant les soulever.They are therefore perfectly protected against any external stress that could lift them.

    Après fermeture complète, le contenant se présente sous la forme parallélépipédique de la figure 17, avec des parois latérales 109 et 110 en retrait, les rebords de protection étant visibles de l'extérieur.After complete closure, the container is in the form of a parallelepiped Figure 17, with side walls 109 and 110 recessed, the protective edges being visible from the outside.

    Le mode de réalisation des figures 18 à 23 est un exemple de réalisation de l'invention sans adhésif à effet prolongé pour le maintien en position active de composants du contenant tels que parois 108, 109 et 110.The embodiment of FIGS. 18 to 23 is an exemplary embodiment of the invention without long-lasting adhesive for keeping container components such as active as walls 108, 109 and 110.

    En revanche, pour assurer la fermeture du contenant par le volet de fixation 142, on peut associer à celui-ci un ruban d'adhésif à effet prolongé, comme cela a été décrit en regard des figures 1 à 4.On the other hand, to ensure the closure of the container by the fixing flap 142, it is possible to associate with it a long-acting adhesive tape, as described with regard to Figures 1 to 4.

    Ici, on a choisi l'option « zéro adhésif » comme on va le voir maintenant, mais cela ne concerne pas la colle qui, lors de la fabrication, est toujours nécessaire à la fixation des rebords de protection 165 et 166. Bien entendu, on peut remplacer cette colle par tout équivalent technique à la portée de l'Homme de Métier (agrafes par exemple).Here, we chose the “zero adhesive” option as we will see now, but that does not does not concern the glue which, during the manufacturing, is always necessary for the fixing of the edges of protection 165 and 166. Of course, this glue can be replaced by any equivalent technique within the reach of a person skilled in the art (staples for example).

    Les parois latérales 109 et 110 sont solidaires de pattes libres 601 et 602 par une ligne de pliage.The side walls 109 and 110 are secured to free legs 601 and 602 by a line of folding.

    La paroi transversale 108 est solidaire d'un panneau d'extrémité 603 par une ligne de pliage 604 simple ou double pour une raison qui apparaít un plus loin.The transverse wall 108 is secured to an end panel 603 by a fold line 604 single or double for a reason which appears further on.

    Le panneau d'extrémité 603 est moins large que le flan proprement dit car sa largeur est égale, au maximum, au jeu près, à la distance qui sépare les deux parois latérales 109 et 110 redressées et, donc, placées en regard..The end panel 603 is less wide than the blank itself because its width is equal, maximum, apart from play, at the distance between the two side walls 109 and 110 straightened and, therefore, placed opposite.

    Pour mettre le contenant en volume à partir du flan de la figure 18, on redresse les parois latérales 109 et 110 selon les flèches F4, puis on plie les pattes libres 601 et 602 selon les flèches F12 (figure 19) et l'on redresse la paroi transversale 108 qui se place contre les pattes 601 et 602. On rabat alors le panneau d'extrémité 603 en le pliant le long de la ligne 604 qui est simple ou double selon l'épaisseur du matériau choisi pour la constitution du contenant. Le panneau d'extrémité 603 est abaissé jusqu'à ce qu'il se place contre la face intérieure de la paroi transversale 108, avec interposition des pattes libres 601 et 602 (figure 20).To put the container in volume from the blank of Figure 18, straighten the walls side 109 and 110 according to arrows F4, then fold the free tabs 601 and 602 according to the arrows F12 (Figure 19) and straighten the transverse wall 108 which is placed against the legs 601 and 602. The end panel 603 is then folded down by folding it along the line 604 which is simple or double depending on the thickness of the material chosen for the constitution of the container. The end panel 603 is lowered until it is placed against the inner face of the transverse wall 108, with interposition of the free legs 601 and 602 (Figure 20).

    Une fois en place, le panneau d'extrémité 603 est maintenu soit par les frottements résultant de son coincement contre les parois latérales 109-110 et contre la base 106, soit par des moyens additionnels : adhésif ou languettes, comme cela est connu en soi.Once in place, the end panel 603 is held either by the friction resulting from its wedging against the side walls 109-110 and against the base 106, either by means additional: adhesive or tabs, as is known per se.

    On a ainsi rendu stable le « corps » ou « fond » du contenant : base 106 et parois 108, 109 et 110.The “body” or “bottom” of the container has thus been made stable: base 106 and walls 108, 109 and 110.

    Comme on l'a décrit plus haut avec les autres modes de réalisation, on rabat le panneau de fermeture 140 selon la flèche F11 en guidant les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 à l'extérieur des parois latérales 109 et 110 (figure 22), puis l'on replie sur la languette 220 les dents 222 et 223 et l'on introduit cet ensemble dans la fente 221 de la paroi 108.As described above with the other embodiments, the panel is folded down. closure 140 according to arrow F11 by guiding the lining panels 501 and 502 outside side walls 109 and 110 (FIG. 22), then the teeth 222 are folded over the tongue 220 and 223 and this assembly is introduced into the slot 221 of the wall 108.

    Grâce à l'espace E qui subsiste entre la paroi 108 et le panneau 603, les dents 222 et 223 peuvent se déployer derrière la paroi 108 et aussi petit que soit l'angle qu'elles forment alors avec la languette 220 proprement dite, elles s'opposent au retrait de celle-ci (figure 21), ce qui crée une fermeture inviolable puisque cette ouverture ne peut être obtenue qu'en révélant la destruction au moins partielle de la languette 220 et/ou de ses dents 222-223.Thanks to the space E which remains between the wall 108 and the panel 603, the teeth 222 and 223 can be deployed behind the wall 108 and as small as the angle they form then with the tongue 220 proper, they oppose the withdrawal thereof (Figure 21), which creates an inviolable closure since this opening can only be obtained by revealing the at least partial destruction of the tongue 220 and / or of its teeth 222-223.

    L'espace E qui résulterait de la simple interposition d'une seule épaisseur : celle des pattes 601 et 602 peut suffire mais l'on peut rendre cet espace E plus large en ajustant l'écartement entre les deux lignes de pliage 604.The space E which would result from the simple interposition of a single thickness: that of the legs 601 and 602 may be sufficient but we can make this space E wider by adjusting the spacing between the two fold lines 604.

    Mais ces mêmes pattes 601 et 602 pourraient gêner le déploiement des dents 222 et 223 et pour éviter ce risque, on prévoit ici des encoches 605 et 606 qui dégagent complètement l'espace E au voisinage de la languette 220.But these same legs 601 and 602 could hinder the deployment of the teeth 222 and 223 and to avoid this risk, provision is made here for notches 605 and 606 which completely release the space E in the vicinity of the tongue 220.

    Le contenant terminé se présente alors sous la forme parallélépipédique de la figure 23.The finished container is then presented in the parallelepiped form of FIG. 23.

    Les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 sont à l'extérieur des parois latérales 109 et110, celles-ci apparaissant en retrait par rapport aux rebords 165 et 166 visibles.The lining panels 501 and 502 are outside the side walls 109 and 110, these appearing set back from the visible edges 165 and 166.

    Sur les figures 24 à 28, on a représenté un mode de réalisation qui combine des dispositions déjà décrites en elles-mêmes plus haut :

  • Le corps du contenant : base 106, parois 108, 109 et 110 est maintenu en volume grâce à de l'adhésif à effet prolongé placé comme décrit en regard des figures 1 à 4.
  • Le contenant comporte un couvercle coiffant et les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 sont rendus solidaires de la paroi transversale 107 par des soufflets 503 formés chacun de seulement deux pattes 515 et 516 déterminées par une ligne de pliage oblique qui s'étend jusqu'au bord du flan afin que les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 faisant partie du couvercle coiffant se placent non seulement à l'extérieur des parois latérales 109 et 110 mais à une distance D de celles-ci (figure 28) comme cela a été décrit en regard des figures 9 à 13.
    • In FIGS. 24 to 28, an embodiment has been shown which combines arrangements already described in themselves above:
  • The container body: base 106, walls 108, 109 and 110 is kept in volume by means of a long-acting adhesive placed as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • The container has a covering lid and the lining panels 501 and 502 are made integral with the transverse wall 107 by bellows 503 each formed by only two legs 515 and 516 determined by an oblique fold line which extends to the edge of the blank so that the doubling panels 501 and 502 forming part of the covering cover are placed not only outside the side walls 109 and 110 but at a distance D from them (FIG. 28) as described below. Figures 9 to 13.

    • La patte 515 est solidaire d'un panneau de doublage 501-502 et libre alors que l'autre patte 516 est collée à la paroi transversale 107.Tab 515 is integral with a doubling panel 501-502 and free while the other tab 516 is glued to the transverse wall 107.

    Sur les figures 29 à 32, on a représenté un autre mode de réalisation « zéro adhésif » puisque le corps du contenant 106-108-109-110 est maintenu en position active par un panneau d'extrémité 603, comme on l'a décrit en regard des figures 18 à 23 et que le couvercle coiffant est également maintenu en volume par un panneau non collé :

  • Les parois latérales 109 et 110 sont solidaires de pattes triangulaires 124 et 126 elles-mêmes solidaires d'autres pattes triangulaires 125 et 127 collées à l'intérieur de la paroi transversale 108 mais, ici, il n'y a pas d'adhésif 130 pour les maintenir, cet effet étant obtenu par rabattement du panneau d'extrémité 603 à l'intérieur de la paroi transversale 108, avec interposition des pattes triangulaires 124-125 et 126-127.
  • Les panneaux de doublage 501 et 502 sont solidaires de pattes 607 et 608 semblables aux pattes 601 et 602 des figures 18 et 19 et qui doivent être repliées comme cela est indiqué sur la figure 30.
  • Le volet de fixation 142 est solidaire d'un panneau de blocage 610 qui doit être rabattu vers l'intérieur du couvercle coiffant, par-dessus les pattes 607 et 608 où il se coince de la même manière que le panneau d'extrémité 603, éventuellement avec adjonction de moyens de fixation connus.
  • Une patte de blocage 510 analogue à celle déjà décrite plus haut est découpée dans le panneau 610 afin qu'elle se présente comme précédemment malgré la présence du panneau de blocage 610, ce qui lui permet de se comporter exactement de la même manière que celle déjà explicitée (figure 31).
    • In FIGS. 29 to 32, another embodiment is shown "zero adhesive" since the body of the container 106-108-109-110 is held in the active position by an end panel 603, as described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 23 and that the covering cover is also kept in volume by a non-glued panel:
  • The side walls 109 and 110 are secured to triangular tabs 124 and 126 themselves secured to other triangular legs 125 and 127 bonded to the inside of the transverse wall 108 but, here, there is no adhesive 130 to maintain them, this effect being obtained by folding the end panel 603 inside the transverse wall 108, with the interposition of the triangular tabs 124-125 and 126-127.
  • The lining panels 501 and 502 are integral with lugs 607 and 608 similar to the lugs 601 and 602 of FIGS. 18 and 19 and which must be folded up as indicated in FIG. 30.
  • The fixing flap 142 is integral with a blocking panel 610 which must be folded inwardly of the covering cover, over the legs 607 and 608 where it gets stuck in the same way as the end panel 603, possibly with the addition of known fixing means.
  • A blocking tab 510 similar to that already described above is cut from the panel 610 so that it appears as previously despite the presence of the blocking panel 610, which allows it to behave in exactly the same way as that already explained (Figure 31).

    • Après fermeture du contenant au moyen du couvercle coiffant (figure 31), la patte 510 est engagée dans une fente 511 prévue à la base de la paroi transversale 108 pour contribuer à maintenir fermé le couvercle coiffant, lequel peut être fixé de manière plus énergique, notamment au moyen d'adhésif à effet prolongé, ce qui n'est pas incompatible avec la notion de « zéro adhésif », car cette expression s'applique aux moyens de maintien de composants du contenant (corps et/ou couvercle) mais non à sa fermeture. After closing the container by means of the covering lid (figure 31), the tab 510 is engaged in a slot 511 provided at the base of the transverse wall 108 to contribute to keep the styling cover closed, which can be fixed more firmly, in particular by means of adhesive with prolonged effect, which is not incompatible with the notion of “zero adhesive”, because this expression applies to the means of holding components of the container (body and / or lid) but not when closed.

    On comprend qu'ici l'espace E résulte d'une double épaisseur au lieu d'une seule. La question du déploiement des dents 222 et 223 ne se pose pas puisqu'ici on ne peut prévoir une languette de type 220 mais une patte 510.We understand that here the space E results from a double thickness instead of a single one. The question the deployment of the teeth 222 and 223 does not arise since here a tongue cannot be provided type 220 but a 510 tab.

    Néanmoins, il faut noter que les pattes 124-125 et 126-127 se pliant obliquement, la zone médiane de la paroi transversale 108 est complètement dégagée.However, it should be noted that the legs 124-125 and 126-127 bending obliquely, the area median of the transverse wall 108 is completely free.

    En revanche, le panneau d'extrémité 603 devant s'étendre jusqu'au voisinage immédiat de la base 106, sinon même à son contact, il faut éviter qu'il gêne l'engagement de la patte 510, raison pour laquelle on y ménage une encoche 611 qui libère parfaitement le passage de cette patte 510.On the other hand, the end panel 603 having to extend to the immediate vicinity of the base 106, otherwise even on contact, it must be prevented from hindering the engagement of the tab 510, this is why there is a notch 611 in it which perfectly clears the passage of this tab 510.

    Après rabattement des panneaux 603 et 610, on dispose d'un contenant ayant deux parties symétriques, le corps 106-108-603-109-110 et le couvercle 107-140-142-610-501-502, qu'il suffit d'amener l'une sur l'autre, le couvercle coiffant recouvrant le corps en cloche, les panneaux 501 et 502 dissimulant les rebords de protection 165 et 166.After folding the panels 603 and 610, there is a container having two parts symmetrical, the body 106-108-603-109-110 and the cover 107-140-142-610-501-502, which it just bring one on top of the other, the cover covering the bell body, the panels 501 and 502 concealing the protective edges 165 and 166.

    Ici encore, cette structure permet l'usage d'un lien d'ouverture 195 disposé sous le panneau de fermeture 140 et à l'intérieur des panneaux 501 et 502.Here again, this structure allows the use of an opening link 195 arranged under the panel of closure 140 and inside panels 501 and 502.

    L'utilisation d'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 pour maintenir ensemble des parties en carton pliées, se révèle tout à fait satisfaisante mais si l'on choisit un matériau très robuste, ou plus précisément qui a beaucoup de « nerf », il peut en résulter des efforts à l'arrachement d'autant plus pernicieux qu'ils se développent avec le temps, de sorte que l'on peut constater un décollement non pas en quelques minutes mais en plusieurs heures, voire plusieurs jours.Use of long-acting adhesive 130 to hold cardboard parts together folded, turns out to be quite satisfactory but if we choose a very robust material, or more precisely that has a lot of "nerve", it can result in efforts to tear off as much more pernicious than they develop over time, so that we can see a detachment not in a few minutes but in several hours or even days.

    Il n'est donc pas inutile de prendre des précautions permettant d'accroítre la sécurité des fixations, et donc l'intégrité du contenant fermé.It is therefore useful to take precautions to increase the safety of fasteners, and therefore the integrity of the closed container.

    Pour cela, on peut sinon supprimer, tout au moins fortement diminuer localement le « nerf » du matériau en créant des incisions sur les lignes de pliage qui réunissent deux éléments devant être appliqués l'un contre l'autre par pivotement selon cette ligne de pliage, puis maintenus ainsi en position définitive par de l'adhésif à effet prolongé.For this, we can otherwise remove, at least strongly decrease locally the "nerve" material by creating incisions on the fold lines that join two elements to be applied against each other by pivoting along this fold line, then thus kept in the final position by long-acting adhesive.

    Pour cet usage en particulier, mais aussi plus généralement pour éviter les inconvénients des caractéristiques élastiques du matériau constituant le contenant (carton et carton ondulé), on prévoit de telles incisions comme celles ayant la référence 620 sur la figure 14, celles-ci étant utilisée pour assouplir les soufflets 503 afin qu'ils se replient facilement lors du redressement de la paroi transversale 107 quand on procède à la fermeture du contenant.For this particular use, but also more generally to avoid the disadvantages of elastic characteristics of the material making up the container (cardboard and corrugated cardboard), provides for such incisions as those having the reference 620 in Figure 14, these being used to soften the bellows 503 so that they fold easily when straightening of the transverse wall 107 when the container is closed.

    En se reportant aux figures 33 et 34, on voit un mode de réalisation de l'invention prévoyant d'une part de l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 pour le maintien en position du volet de fixation 142 et, d'autre part, un lien d'ouverture 198 qui se trouvent tous deux sur la même face du flan. Referring to Figures 33 and 34, we see an embodiment of the invention providing on the one hand, the long-acting adhesive 130 for holding the fixing flap in position 142 and, on the other hand, an opening link 198 which are both on the same face of the blank.

    Lorsque le flan est réalisé en carton ondulé, la fabrication de celui-ci se fait, comme cela est connu en soi, en collant une feuille de papier ondulé entre deux feuilles de papier planes. Ces opérations combinées sont réalisées au moyen d'une machine dite "onduleuse" qui a d'excellentes performances qui se mesurent en centaines de mètres de carton ondulé par minute.When the blank is made of corrugated cardboard, it is made, as is known per se, by gluing a sheet of corrugated paper between two sheets of flat paper. These combined operations are carried out using a so-called "corrugator" machine which excellent performance measured in hundreds of meters of corrugated cardboard minute.

    Ce très bon rendement est utilisé ici en prévoyant l'adhésif 130 et son ruban de protection 131 ainsi que le lien d'ouverture 198 sur la même face, car leur mise en place peut se faire sur l'onduleuse elle-même, sans reprise d'ouvrage.This very good yield is used here by providing the adhesive 130 and its protective tape 131 as well as the opening link 198 on the same side, because their installation can be done on the corrugator itself, without resumption of work.

    De plus, la face qui reçoit l'adhésif 130 et son ruban 131 ainsi que le lien d'ouverture 198 est la face supérieure du carton ondulé lorsqu'il est élaboré sur l'onduleuse, ce qui est la situation la plus favorable pour le dépôt de ces éléments 130, 131 et 198.In addition, the face which receives the adhesive 130 and its tape 131 as well as the opening link 198 is the upper side of the corrugated board when it is made on the corrugator, which is the situation more favorable for the deposit of these elements 130, 131 and 198.

    On observe sur la figure 33 que le lien d'ouverture 198 est positionné sur le panneau de fermeture 140, à proximité de la ligne de pliage 143 par laquelle il est relié au volet de fixation 142.It can be seen in FIG. 33 that the opening link 198 is positioned on the panel closure 140, near the fold line 143 by which it is connected to the fixing flap 142.

    Sur la figure 34, on voit ainsi que le lien d'ouverture 198, placé sur la face interne du panneau de fermeture 140, est situé à l'aplomb de la zone destinée à recevoir une marque d'affranchissement 199, lorsque le contenant est dressé et fermé.In FIG. 34, it can thus be seen that the opening link 198, placed on the internal face of the panel 140, is located directly above the area intended to receive a mark postage 199, when the container is erected and closed.

    Cette marque peut être rapportée (timbres, vignette de validation, sceau, etc.) ou imprimée à même le contenant.This mark can be reported (stamps, validation sticker, seal, etc.) or printed at even the container.

    Lorsque le destinataire ouvre le contenant, il saisit l'une de deux languettes 196 ou 197 afin d'exercer une forte traction sur le lien d'ouverture 198,

    • qui découpe de part en part le panneau de fermeture 140, de sorte que le volet 142 reste en place mais que le panneau de fermeture 140 est libéré et donne accès aux objets emballés, sans pour autant que le contenant lui-même soit dissocié puisqu'il reste érigé par le maintien des parois 108, 109 et 110 au moyen du panneau 603,
    • qui détruit la marque d'affranchissement 199, rendant ainsi le contenant non réutilisable, à moins de payer à nouveau les frais de son transport après l'avoir refermé par des moyens rapportés (feuillard, ruban, ficelle, ruban adhésif, etc.).
    When the recipient opens the container, he grabs one of two tabs 196 or 197 in order to exert a strong pull on the opening link 198,
    • which cuts right through the closing panel 140, so that the flap 142 remains in place but the closing panel 140 is released and gives access to the packaged objects, without the container itself being dissociated since it remains erected by maintaining the walls 108, 109 and 110 by means of the panel 603,
    • which destroys the franking mark 199, thus making the container non-reusable, unless you pay the transport costs again after having closed it by added means (strip, tape, string, adhesive tape, etc.).

    On remarque, sur la figure 34, que le volet de fixation 142 se trouve sur la face arrière du contenant terminé, ce qui n'a aucune importance, puisqu'il suffit de prévoir l'emplacement A du nom et de l'adresse du destinataire selon une orientation opposée à l'orientation habituelle, ce que l'on a illustré par le symbole Y1 qui figure le regard du lecteur du nom et de l'adresse du destinataire, à l'emplacement A de la figure 34. It can be seen in FIG. 34 that the fixing flap 142 is located on the rear face of the container finished, which does not matter, since it suffices to provide location A the name and address of the recipient in an orientation opposite to the usual orientation, what we illustrated by the symbol Y1 which represents the gaze of the reader of the name and the address of the recipient, in location A in Figure 34.

    En se reportant maintenant à la figure 35, on voit que le flan comporte ici aussi d'une part de l'adhésif à effet prolongé 130 et un ruban de protection 131, et d'autre part un lien d'ouverture 195, tous deux disposés sur la même face du flan, à savoir celle qui constitue la face interne du contenant lorsque celui-ci est dressé en volume.Referring now to FIG. 35, it can be seen that the blank also includes here on the one hand the long-acting adhesive 130 and a protective tape 131, and on the other hand an opening link 195, both arranged on the same face of the blank, namely that which constitutes the internal face of the container when it is drawn up in volume.

    Le lien d'ouverture 195 se trouve non plus sur le panneau de fermeture 140 mais sur le volet de fixation 142, approximativement à la moitié de la distance qui sépare l'adhésif 130 et la ligne de pliage 143.The opening link 195 is no longer on the closing panel 140 but on the shutter of attachment 142, approximately half the distance between the adhesive 130 and the line folding 143.

    La position du lien d'ouverture 195 est donc indépendante de celle des marques d'affranchissement 199 et l'emplacement A est disposé comme d'habitude, ce que l'on a illustré par le symbole Y2 qui figure le regard du lecteur du nom et de l'adresse du destinataire, à l'emplacement A de la figure 36.The position of the opening link 195 is therefore independent of that of the brands postage 199 and location A is arranged as usual, as illustrated by the symbol Y2 which appears the look of the reader of the name and the address of the recipient, to location A in Figure 36.

    Lors de l'ouverture du contenant par traction sur le lien 195, le volet 142 se coupe transversalement, ce qui libère la partie supérieure du volet 142 et le panneau 140 qui tiennent l'un à l'autre.When the container is opened by pulling on the link 195, the flap 142 is cut transversely, which releases the upper part of the shutter 142 and the panel 140 which hold to one another.

    Le destinataire accède alors librement au contenu placé sur la base 106.The recipient then has free access to the content placed on the base 106.

    Ayant décrit plusieurs modes de réalisation et variantes, il faut rappeler que l'invention permet de combiner de toutes sortes de manières les différentes dispositions qui ont ici été groupées à titre d'exemple : couvercle coiffant ou pas, usage d'adhésif à effet prolongé ou pas, adoption de pattes triangulaires pour constituer les soufflets, soufflet en deux ou trois parties, etc.Having described several embodiments and variants, it should be recalled that the invention allows to combine in all kinds of ways the different provisions which have been grouped here to title of example: cover or not, use of adhesive with prolonged effect or not, adoption triangular legs to form the bellows, bellows in two or three parts, etc.
