Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging with an improved handle and a manufacturing process of this packaging.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging of the above type, characterized in that the handle is mounted articulated on the ring, each pin being, on the one hand, axially immobilized by fitting between the internal rolled edge of the ring and the part center of this ring, and on the other hand, angularly immobilized around the axis of revolution of the body by nesting in a recess formed on the internal edge rolled of the ring.
  • FIG. 1 There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 a package according to the invention, designated by the general reference 10.
  • the package 10 comprises a metal body 12, of general shape revolution, for example cylindrical, provided with an upper end 14, access to the interior of the packaging, and a lower end 16 carrying a bottom 18.
  • the body is generally provided with a decoration on its external surface.
  • the package 10 also includes a metal ring 20 provided with an edge outer 20E set on the upper end 14 of the body and an inner edge 20I defining an opening 22 for access to the interior of the packaging. Note that the internal edge 20I of the ring is rolled towards the outside of the opening 22.
  • the inner 20I and outer 20E edges of the ring are separated by a part annular center 20C of this ring extending substantially radially from the periphery of the body 12 towards the axis X of revolution of this body 12.
  • This central part 20C comprises a step D separating an upper part 20 CH from a lower part 20CB.
  • the opening 22 is closable, in a manner known per se, by means of a cover reentrant classic 24. If necessary, the cover 24 can be provided with a seal rubber sealing.
  • the package 10 also includes a handle 26, preferably metallic, provided of curved ends, forming pins 26E mounted articulated on the ring 20.
  • the handle 26 is movable between an upright gripping position, such as shown in Figure 1, and a folded position towards the ring 20, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. In its gripping position, the handle 26 is substantially parallel to a diametrical plane P of the body 12. In its folded position, the handle 26 is substantially perpendicular to the diametrical plane P.
  • each pin 26E of the handle is immobilized axially and angularly around the X axis by material means with the ring 20.
  • each pin 26E is, on the one hand, immobilized axially by interlocking between the internal rolled edge 20I of the ring and the central part 20C of this ring, and on the other hand, angularly immobilized around the X axis, by fitting in a recess 28 formed on the internal rolled edge 20I of the ring (see in particular Figures 1 and 2).
  • the pins 26E of the handle are opposite inclination with respect to a plane Q of symmetry of the loop 26 in parallel which is curved this loop 26 (the plane Q substantially coincides with the plane P when the handle 26 is in its upright gripping position).
  • the handle 26 In the folded position, the handle 26 is inserted radially between the edges internal 20I and external 20E of the ring 20 (see FIG. 2).
  • the handle 26 in position folded down does not partially hide the external decoration of the body 12, as is observed on the other hand on conventional packaging fitted with a foldable handle against their external surface.
  • the part 26I of the intermediate handle between the pins 26E is slightly separated from the central part 20C of the ring, above this central part 20C, due to the opposite inclinations of the pins 26E (see figure 3).
  • This difference between the intermediate part 26I of the handle and the central part 20C of the ring facilitates gripping of the handle when it is in the folded position, in order to allow the movement of this handle towards its upright position.
  • This package intermediate comprises the body 12 and the ring 20 set on the upper end 14 of this body.
  • the ring 20 is provided with its internal edge 20I which is not yet completely rolled out.
  • the pins are placed 26E of the handle 26 resting on the central part 20C of the ring 20.
  • the internal edge 201 of the ring is completely rolled up so that the indentations 28 are formed by deformation of this internal edge 20I in contact with the pins 20E.
  • the indentations 28 have as their alignment plane the diametrical plane P of the body 12.
  • the bottom 18 of the packaging is provided with a peripheral edge 18E, crimped onto the lower end 16 of the body 12, and of a central part 18C, set back towards the upper end 14 of the body 12 relative to this crimped edge 18E.
  • the end lower 16 is formed by a constriction of the body 12. This allows the stacking of two identical packages 10 as shown in FIG. 3. Indeed, the part central set back 18C from the bottom of the upper packaging forms a clearance in which extends, at least partially, the cover 24 and possibly the internal edge 20I of the ring of the lower packaging.
  • the lower edge 16 of the body of the upper package bears directly on the annular central part 20C of the ring 20 of the packaging inferior.
  • intermediate part 26I of the handle of the lower packaging which possibly protrudes slightly above the cover 24 of the lower packaging, is likely to flatten by elastic deformation in contact with the bottom 18 of the upper packaging, so as not to interfere with the stacking of the two packages.
  • the body of the package is not necessarily cylindrical but can be frustoconical, the upper end of the body having a diameter greater than that of the lower end of this body.
  • the handle can be hung on the ring crimped on the body of the packaging without using an additional part which limits the price of returns from the packaging.
  • the folded handle does not limit the possibilities of stacking identical packaging.
  • the method of mounting the handle on the ring is simple and easy to automate. This process avoids the usual operations of welding or re-varnishing imposed by classic techniques of mounting a handle on a body metal packaging.
  • the packaging can be entirely metallic which facilitates its recycling.
