Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement de joints circulaires. Ce dispositif s'applique plus particulièrement au conditionnement de joints sanitaires. Les joints sanitaires sont des articles de faible valeur unitaire, représentant une gamme large en nombre de produits du fait d'une déclinaison par nature, par diamètre et par forme. Les joints sont souvent vendus sur une carte blister ou dans un emballage de type "skin-pack" par cinq ou dix unités d'un même type, ou en petit coffret comprenant un assortiment de joints de différents types.The present invention relates to a device for packaging circular joints. This device applies more particularly for packaging sanitary seals. Joints sanitary ware are items of low unit value, representing a wide range in number of products due to a variation by nature, by diameter and by shape. Joints are often sold on a card blister or in a skin-pack type for five or ten units of the same type, or in a small box including an assortment of seals of different types.

Il doit être rappelé qu'un emballage de type blister comprend une coque thermoformée obturée par un film ou une carte, tandis qu'un emballage de type "skin-pack" comprend une carte enduite de matière synthétique, sur laquelle sont déposés les produits à conditionner, qui sont eux-mêmes recouverts d'un film de matière thermoplastique qui est portée en température, après quoi une dépression est exercée à travers la plaque en carton. La matière synthétique vient donc adhérer sur la plaque en épousant de façon étroite les produits qui sont déposés sur celle-ci.It should be remembered that a blister type package includes a thermoformed shell closed by a film or a card, while a "skin-pack" type packaging includes a card coated with material synthetic, on which are deposited the products to be packaged, which are themselves covered with a film of thermoplastic material which is worn in temperature, after which a vacuum is exerted through the plate cardboard-based. The synthetic material therefore adheres to the plate in closely following the products that are deposited on it.

Dans de nombreux cas, l'acquisition de joints sanitaires se fait dans le cadre d'un remplacement de ceux-ci. Il est usuel que le consommateur valide son achat en magasin en comparant un ancien joint avec le nouveau par superposition physique des deux joints. Ceci n'est pas toujours facile dans le cas d'un conditionnement sous blister ou dans un "skin-pack". En outre, les emballages de type "skin-pack" ou blister ne sont pas faciles à ouvrir, ne peuvent pas être réutilisés pour le conditionnement des produits restants, dans la mesure où ils sont détruits après première ouverture. Enfin, l'emballage de type "skin-pack" a tendance à laisser totalement laisser s'échapper les joints lors de la première ouverture.In many cases, the acquisition of sanitary seals is done as part of a replacement thereof. It is usual for the consumer validates his purchase in store by comparing an old seal with the new one by physical superposition of the two joints. this is not always easy in the case of blister packaging or in a "skin-pack". In addition, "skin-pack" or blister packaging are not easy to open, cannot be reused for conditioning of the remaining products, insofar as they are destroyed after first opening. Finally, "skin-pack" packaging has tendency to let the seals escape completely when first opening.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de conditionnement de joints circulaires, qui soit d'une utilisation pratique, qui permette à l'utilisateur de comparer un joint usé à un joint à acquérir, et qui assure également le stockage des joints non utilisés après ouverture de l'emballage.The object of the invention is to provide a device for packaging of circular joints, which is of practical use, which allows the user to compare a worn joint to a joint to acquire, and which also stores unused seals after opening packaging.

A cet effet, le dispositif de conditionnement qu'elle concerne comporte une boíte destinée à contenir les joints, dont le couvercle présente, sur sa face extérieure, un logement circulaire en creux dont le fond est parallèle au couvercle, et dans lequel est déposé et positionné un joint témoin, représentatif des joints contenus dans la boíte, ce logement étant fermé de façon inviolable par une feuille de matière synthétique transparente.To this end, the packaging device it relates to includes a box intended to contain the seals, including the cover has, on its outer face, a hollow circular housing the bottom is parallel to the cover, and in which is deposited and positioned a witness seal, representative of the seals contained in the box, this housing being closed inviolably by a sheet of material transparent synthetic.

Le joint témoin est parfaitement positionné et visible, de telle sorte qu'un consommateur peut présenter un joint déjà existant et le superposer au joint contenu dans le logement pour vérifier que la boíte concernée contient bien les joints souhaités.The witness seal is perfectly positioned and visible, so so that a consumer can present an already existing seal and the superimpose the seal contained in the housing to verify that the box concerned contains the desired seals.

Suivant une forme d'exécution avantageuse de ce dispositif, la boíte est de forme parallélépipédique, et posée sur une plaque de carton enduite de matière synthétique, l'ensemble plaque de carton et boíte étant recouvert d'un film de matière synthétique qui fixe la boíte sur la plaque en obturant le logement ménagé dans le couvercle, en formant un emballage de type "skin-pack".According to an advantageous embodiment of this device, the box is of rectangular shape, and placed on a cardboard plate coated with synthetic material, the entire cardboard plate and box being covered with a plastic film which fixes the box on the plate sealing the housing in the cover, forming a packaging "skin-pack" type.

Cette technique est intéressante, car permettant de bénéficier de l'avantage de disposer d'une boíte de conditionnement, et de disposer de l'inviolabilité des emballages de type "skin-pack". En pratique, il est plus facile pour le conditionneur de remplir une boíte avec des joints, puis de former à partir de cette boíte un emballage de type "skin-pack", plutôt que de déposer directement les joints sur une plaque de carton où ils seront retenus par un film. En outre, après utilisation d'un premier joint, le consommateur peut utiliser la boíte pour conserver les autres joints jusqu'à une future utilisation.This technique is interesting because it allows you to benefit the advantage of having a packaging box, and having the inviolability of "skin-pack" packaging. In practice, it is easier for the conditioner to fill a box with seals, then to form from this box a "skin-pack" type packaging, rather than placing the seals directly on a cardboard plate where they will be remembered by a film. In addition, after using a first seal, the consumer can use the box to keep the other seals until future use.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la boíte est réalisée en matière synthétique, telle qu'en polychlorure de vinyle transparent, et est de type double coque comprenant un fond et un couvercle. Cette boíte permet donc non seulement la vision du joint témoin à travers le film de protection, mais également la vision des autres joints qui sont conditionnés en vrac dans la boíte.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the box is made of synthetic material, such as polyvinyl chloride transparent, and is of the double shell type comprising a bottom and a lid. This box therefore allows not only the vision of the witness seal through the protective film, but also the vision of the other seals which are packaged in bulk in the box.

De toute façon l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant à titre d'exemple non limitatif une forme d'exécution de ce dispositif de conditionnement.

  • Figure 1 en est une vue en perspective en condition de présentation à la vente ;
  • Figure 2 en est une vue en perspective éclatée des principaux composants ;
  • Figure 3 en est une vue en coupe longitudinale.
    • In any case, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing by way of nonlimiting example an embodiment of this packaging device.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view in condition of presentation for sale;
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the main components;
  • Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view.

    • Le dispositif de conditionnement selon l'invention comprend une boíte parallélépipédique comprenant un fond 2 et un couvercle 3, cette boíte étant de type double coque et réalisée par exemple en polychlorure de vinyle transparent. Cette boíte est destinée à contenir des joints circulaires 4, par exemple des joints sanitaires. Le couvercle 3 comporte, ménagé dans sa paroi supérieure, un logement 5 dont le fond 6 est parallèle au couvercle. Ce logement 5, de profondeur au moins égale à la profondeur d'un joint, est destiné au logement et au positionnement d'un joint témoin 7 identique aux joints 4 conditionnés dans la boíte.The packaging device according to the invention comprises a parallelepiped box comprising a bottom 2 and a cover 3, this box being of double hull type and made for example in transparent polyvinyl chloride. This box is intended to contain circular seals 4, for example sanitary seals. The cover 3 comprises, formed in its upper wall, a housing 5 whose bottom 6 is parallel to the cover. This housing 5, of depth at least equal to the depth of a joint, is intended for housing and positioning a witness seal 7 identical to the seals 4 packaged in the box.

    Une étiquette d'identification 8 peut être déposée sur le couvercle, à côté du logement 5.An identification label 8 can be placed on the cover, next to the housing 5.

    Le dispositif de conditionnement comprend également une plaque 9 de carton, enduite de matière synthétique et comportant des micro-perforations. Le dispositif de conditionnement comprend enfin un film 10 de matière thermoplastique et thermorétractable. Après que les joints 4 aient été disposés dans le fond 2 de la boíte, celle-ci est fermée par la mise en place du couvercle, un joint témoin 7 étant disposé dans le logement 5. L'ensemble est déposé et positionné sur la plaque 9, après quoi un film 10 est déposé sur l'ensemble, le film 10 étant porté en température en même temps qu'est exercée une dépression à travers la plaque 9. Le film épouse de façon étroite la boíte et la fixe solidement contre la plaque en carton pour fournir l'emballage représenté aux figures 1 et 3. Le film 10 étant transparent, le joint témoin 7 est parfaitement visible, et un utilisateur peut comparer un joint usé à ce joint témoin pour s'assurer qu'il achète le bon type de joints. La plaque en carton comprend de façon connue en soi une ouverture 12 permettant la suspension du dispositif sur une tige d'un présentoir d'offre à la vente.The packaging device also includes a cardboard plate 9, coated with synthetic material and comprising micro-perforations. The packaging device finally comprises a film 10 of thermoplastic and heat-shrinkable material. After the seals 4 have been placed in the bottom 2 of the box, it is closed by fitting the cover, a witness seal 7 being placed in the housing 5. The assembly is deposited and positioned on plate 9, after what a film 10 is deposited on the assembly, the film 10 being carried in temperature at the same time as a depression is exerted through the plate 9. The film closely follows the box and fixes it securely against the cardboard plate to provide the packaging shown in the figures 1 and 3. Since the film 10 is transparent, the witness seal 7 is perfectly visible, and a user can compare a worn seal to this witness seal to make sure he buys the right type of seals. The cardboard plate includes in a manner known per se an opening 12 allowing the suspension of the device on a rod of a display for sale.

    Comme il ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention apporte une grande amélioration par rapport à la technique existante en fournissant un dispositif de structure simple, offrant de grandes facilités de mise en oeuvre tant pour le conditionnement des joints que pour le consommateur, d'une part au niveau du choix du joint par le consommateur et d'autre part lors du stockage des joints qui n'ont pas été utilisés après première ouverture de la boíte.As is apparent from the above, the invention provides a great improvement over the existing technique by providing a simple structure device, offering great ease of installation works both for the packaging of seals and for the consumer, on the one hand at the level of the choice of seal by the consumer and on the other hand during storage of seals that have not been used after first opening of the box.

    Comme il va de soi l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce dispositif, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. C'est ainsi notamment que ce dispositif pourrait ne pas comporter une plaque de carton et un film de type "skin-pack", mais simplement une boíte dans laquelle le logement 5 serait obturé par un film spécifique à cette fonction, ou encore que la boíte pourrait posséder une structure différente sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de l'invention.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the single form of this device, described above by way of example, it on the contrary embraces all variants. This is how it device may not have a cardboard plate and film "skin-pack" type, but simply a box in which the housing 5 would be closed by a film specific to this function, or that the box could have a different structure without coming out of the scope of the invention.
