Abstract

The container consists of a cylindrical metal body (12) with an upper edge (14) for its opening and a lower edge (16) attached to its base (18). The upper edge is fitted with a metal ring (20) with an annular central section (20C), an outer rim (20E) crimped to the upper edge of the body, and a rolled inner rim (20I) round its opening. The container has a wire handle (26) with its two ends turned inwards to form pivots (26E) which are held in place by inserting them into indentations (28) in the inner rolled rim of the upper ring. The ends of the handle are inclined slightly in opposite directions relative to the handle's plane of symmetry, and when folded the handle lies inside the ring against its annular central section.

  • une bague métallique munie d'un bord externe serti sur l'extrémité supérieure du corps, d'un bord interne délimitant une ouverture d'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage et d'une partie centrale annulaire séparant ses bords interne et externe, le bord interne de la bague étant roulé vers l'extérieur, et
  • une anse de préhension munie d'extrémités formant des tourillons, voir par exemple US 1653521.
    • We already know in the prior art a packaging of the type comprising
  • a metallic body of revolution provided with an upper end, with access to the interior of the packaging, and with a lower end carrying a bottom,
  • a metal ring provided with an external edge crimped on the upper end of the body, an internal edge delimiting an access opening inside the packaging and an annular central part separating its internal and external edges , the internal edge of the ring being rolled outwards, and
  • a grip handle provided with ends forming trunnions, see for example US 1653521.

    • L'invention a pour objet un emballage du type précité, caractérisé en ce que l'anse est montée articulée sur la bague, chaque tourillon étant, d'une part, immobilisé axialement par emboítement entre le bord roulé interne de la bague et la partie centrale de cette bague, et d'autre part, immobilisé angulairement autour de l'axe de révolution du corps par emboítement dans un enfoncement ménagé sur le bord interne roulé de la bague.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.

    Suivant d'autres caractéristiques de cet emballage :

    • les tourillons sont inclinés de façon opposée par rapport à un plan de symétrie de l'anse parallèlement auquel s'incurve l'anse ;
    • l'anse est déplaçable entre une position dressée de préhension, dans laquelle cette anse est sensiblement parallèle à un plan diamétral du corps, et une position rabattue vers la bague, dans laquelle cette anse est sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan diamétral ; et
    • l'anse est métallique.
    According to other characteristics of this packaging:
    • the pins are inclined in an opposite manner with respect to a plane of symmetry of the handle parallel to which the handle curves;
    • the handle is movable between an upright gripping position, in which this handle is substantially parallel to a diametral plane of the body, and a position folded towards the ring, in which this handle is substantially perpendicular to the diametral plane; and
    • the handle is metallic.

    L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'un emballage tel que défini ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que

    • on forme un emballage intermédiaire comportant le corps et la bague sertie sur l'extrémité supérieure de ce corps,
    • on place les tourillons de l'anse en appui sur la partie centrale de la bague,
    • on roule le bord interne de la bague de façon que les enfoncements se forment par déformation de ce-bord interne au contact des tourillons.
    The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a package as defined above, characterized in that
    • an intermediate packaging is formed comprising the body and the ring crimped on the upper end of this body,
    • the pins of the handle are placed in abutment on the central part of the ring,
    • the internal edge of the ring is rolled so that the depressions are formed by deformation of this internal edge in contact with the pins.

    L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels :

    • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation, en coupe axiale, d'un emballage selon l'invention, l'anse étant dans sa position dressée de préhension et l'extrémité supérieure du corps étant fermée par un couvercle ;

    The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the drawings in which:
    • Figure 1 is an elevational view, in axial section, of a package according to the invention, the handle being in its upright gripping position and the upper end of the body being closed by a cover;

    • FIG. 5 is a view of the handle according to arrow 5 in FIG. 1.

    On a représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 un emballage selon l'invention, désigné par la référence générale 10. There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 a package according to the invention, designated by the general reference 10.

    L'emballage 10 comporte un corps métallique 12, de forme générale de révolution, par exemple cylindrique, muni d'une extrémité supérieure 14, d'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage, et d'une extrémité inférieure 16 portant un fond 18. Le corps est en général muni d'un décor sur sa surface externe.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.

    L'emballage 10 comporte également une bague métallique 20 munie d'un bord externe 20E serti sur l'extrémité supérieure 14 du corps et d'un bord interne 20I délimitant une ouverture 22 d'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage. On notera que le bord interne 20I de la bague est roulé vers l'extérieur de l'ouverture 22.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.

    Les bords interne 20I et externe 20E de la bague sont séparés par une partie centrale annulaire 20C de cette bague s'étendant sensiblement radialement depuis la périphérie du corps 12 vers l'axe X de révolution de ce corps 12. Cette partie centrale 20C comporte un décrochement D séparant une partie haute 20 CH d'une partie basse 20CB.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.

    L'ouverture 22 est obturable, de façon connue en soi, au moyen d'un couvercle rentrant classique 24. Le cas échéant, le couvercle 24 peut être muni d'un joint d'étanchéité en caoutchouc.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.

    L'emballage 10 comporte encore une anse 26, de préférence métallique, munie d'extrémités recourbées, formant des tourillons 26E montés articulés sur la bague 20.The package 10 also includes a handle 26, preferably metallic, provided of curved ends, forming pins 26E mounted articulated on the ring 20.

    L'anse 26 est déplaçable entre une position dressée de préhension, telle que représentée sur la figure 1, et une position rabattue vers la bague 20, telle que représentée sur les figures 2 et 3. Dans sa position de préhension, l'anse 26 est sensiblement parallèle à un plan diamétral P du corps 12. Dans sa position rabattue, l'anse 26 est sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan diamétral P.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.

    Les tourillons 26E de l'anse sont immobilisés axialement et angulairement autour de l'axe X par des moyens venus de matière avec la bague 20. Ainsi, dans l'exemple illustré, chaque tourillon 26E est, d'une part, immobilisé axialement par emboítement entre le bord roulé interne 20I de la bague et la partie centrale 20C de cette bague, et d'autre part, immobilisé angulairement autour de l'axe X, par emboítement dans un enfoncement 28 ménagé sur le bord interne roulé 20I de la bague (voir notamment figures 1 et 2). On notera, en se référant à la figure 5, que les tourillons 26E de l'anse sont inclinés de façon opposée par rapport à un plan Q de symétrie de l'anse 26 parallèlement auquel s'incurve cette anse 26 (le plan Q coïncide sensiblement avec le plan P lorsque l'anse 26 est dans sa position dressée de préhension). The pins 26E of the handle are immobilized axially and angularly around the X axis by material means with the ring 20. Thus, in the example illustrated, 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). It will be noted, with reference to FIG. 5, that 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).

    En position rabattue, l'anse 26 est intercalée radialement entre les bords interne 20I et externe 20E de la bague 20 (voir figure 2). Ainsi, l'anse 26 en position rabattue ne masque pas partiellement le décor externe du corps 12, comme cela est observé par contre sur les emballages classiques munis d'une anse rabattable contre leur surface externe.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). Thus, 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.

    Par ailleurs, en position rabattue, la partie 26I de l'anse intermédiaire entre les tourillons 26E est légèrement écartée de la partie centrale 20C de la bague, au-dessus de cette partie centrale 20C, du fait des inclinaisons opposées des tourillons 26E (voir figure 3). Cet écart entre la partie intermédiaire 26I de l'anse et la partie centrale 20C de la bague facilite la préhension de l'anse lorsque celle-ci est en position rabattue, afin de permettre le déplacement de cette anse vers sa position dressée.Furthermore, in the folded position, 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.

    Pour fabriquer l'emballage 10 représenté sur la figure 1, on forme tout d'abord un emballage intermédiaire 10I tel que représenté sur la figure 4. Cet emballage intermédiaire comporte le corps 12 et la bague 20 sertie sur l'extrémité supérieure 14 de ce corps. La bague 20 est munie de son bord interne 20I qui n'est pas encore complètement roulé vers l'extérieur.To manufacture the package 10 shown in Figure 1, we form everything first an intermediate package 10I as shown in FIG. 4. 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.

    Après avoir fabriqué cet emballage intermédiaire 10I, on place les tourillons 26E de l'anse 26 en appui sur la partie centrale 20C de la bague 20.After having manufactured this intermediate packaging 10I, the pins are placed 26E of the handle 26 resting on the central part 20C of the ring 20.

    Puis, on roule complètement le bord interne 201 de la bague de façon que les enfoncements 28 se forment par déformation de ce bord interne 20I au contact des tourillons 20E. Les enfoncements 28 ont pour plan d'alignement le plan diamétral P du corps 12.Then, 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.

    Le fond 18 de l'emballage est muni d'un bord périphérique 18E, serti sur l'extrémité inférieure 16 du corps 12, et d'une partie centrale 18C, en retrait vers l'extrémité supérieure 14 du corps 12 par rapport à ce bord serti 18E. L'extrémité inférieure 16 est formée par un retreint du corps 12. Ceci permet le gerbage de deux emballages 10 identiques comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3. En effet, la partie centrale en retrait 18C du fond de l'emballage supérieur forme un dégagement dans lequel s'étend, au moins partiellement, le couvercle 24 et éventuellement le bord interne 20I de la bague de l'emballage inférieur. Le bord inférieur 16 du corps de l'emballage supérieur prend directement appui sur la partie centrale annulaire 20C de la bague 20 de l'emballage inférieur. 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.

    On notera que la partie intermédiaire 26I de l'anse de l'emballage inférieur, qui éventuellement dépasse légèrement au-dessus du couvercle 24 de l'emballage inférieur, est susceptible de s'aplatir par déformation élastique au contact avec le fond 18 de l'emballage supérieur, de façon à ne pas gêner le gerbage des deux emballages.It will be noted that the 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.

    L'invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus. En particulier, le corps de l'emballage n'est pas nécessairement cylindrique mais peut être tronconique, l'extrémité supérieure du corps ayant un diamètre supérieur à celui de l'extrémité inférieure de ce corps.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In particular, 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.

    Parmi les avantages de l'invention, on notera les suivants.Among the advantages of the invention, the following will be noted.

    Le bord interne et la partie centrale de la bague sertie sur le corps de l'emballage, ainsi que les deux enfoncements ménagés sur le bord interne de cette bague, délimitent des logements d'emboítement des tourillons de l'anse formant des paliers d'articulation de cette anse. Ainsi, l'anse peut être accrochée sur la bague sertie sur le corps de l'emballage sans utiliser de pièce supplémentaire ce qui limite d'autant le prix de revient de l'emballage. De plus, l'anse rabattue ne limite pas les possibilités d'empilement d'emballages identiques.The internal edge and the central part of the ring crimped on the body of the packaging, as well as the two recesses formed on the internal edge of this ring, delimit housings for fitting the trunnions of the handle forming bearings articulation of this handle. Thus, 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. In addition, the folded handle does not limit the possibilities of stacking identical packaging.

    Par ailleurs, le procédé de montage de l'anse sur la bague est simple et facile à automatiser. Ce procédé permet d'éviter les opérations habituelles de soudage ou de revernissage imposées par les techniques classiques de montage d'une anse sur un corps d'emballage métallique.Furthermore, 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.

    Enfin, l'emballage peut être entièrement métallique ce qui facilite son recyclage.Finally, the packaging can be entirely metallic which facilitates its recycling.
