La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de distribution d'un assaisonnement et un sachet comprenant un tel dispositif.The present invention relates to a device for distribution of a seasoning and a sachet comprising a such device.

FR2036261 (LA CELLOPHANE) décrit un sachet en matière plastique thermoscellable contenant un produit liquide, granuleux ou pulvérulent que l'on peut prélever au fur et à mesure par quantités limitées, le sachet pouvant tenir debout sur une extrémité et présentant, à une extrémité opposée, une ou plusieurs perforations dans sa paroi, les perforations étant recouvertes par une bande thermoscellée arrachable manuellement.FR2036261 (LA CELLOPHANE) describes a plastic bag heat-sealable plastic containing a liquid product, granular or powdery that can be taken as you go measure in limited quantities, the sachet can hold standing on one end and having, at one end opposite, one or more perforations in its wall, the perforations being covered by a heat-sealed strip manually removable.

CA840280 (DOW CHEMICAL) décrit un emballage souple à deux faces pour produit à étendre, comprenant un renfort flexible s'étendant d'une extrémité à l'autre sur une des faces de l'emballage, une ouverture de distribution du produit étant prévue dans l'autre face à une extrémité de l'emballage, l'ouverture étant obturée par une bande adhésive arrachable, le produit pouvant être étendu sur une surface à enduire en tenant l'emballage entre l'index et le pouce en position légèrement inclinée et en faisant glisser l'extrémité ouverte de l'emballage sur la surface à enduire tout en exerçant une légère flexion sur le renfort.CA840280 (DOW CHEMICAL) describes flexible packaging for two faces for product to be spread, comprising a reinforcement flexible extending from one end to the other on one of the sides of the packaging, a distribution opening product being provided in the other face at one end of the packaging, the opening being closed by a strip removable adhesive, the product can be spread over a surface to be coated by holding the packaging between the index and thumb in a slightly tilted position and making slide the open end of the package over the surface to coat while exerting a slight bending on the reinforcement.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de distribution, étalement ou enduction d'un assaisonnement liquide ou pâteux qui soit particulièrement efficace et facile à utiliser.The object of the present invention is to propose a device of distribution, spreading or coating of a seasoning liquid or pasty which is particularly effective and easy to use.

Le dispositif de distribution d'un assaisonnement liquide ou pâteux selon la présente invention comprend au moins une perforation prévue dans une paroi d'une extrémité d'un récipient, la perforation étant obturée par une bande adhésive pelable et la paroi étant prolongée par une partie libre découpée en languettes juxtaposées formant une frange.The device for dispensing a liquid seasoning or pasty according to the present invention comprises at least one perforation provided in a wall of one end of a container, the perforation being closed by a strip peelable adhesive and the wall being extended by a part free cut into juxtaposed tabs forming a fringe.

Le dispositif peut être utilisé pour distribuer un assaisonnement liquide ou pâteux contenu dans un flacon ou un sachet, par exemple.The device can be used to dispense a liquid or pasty seasoning contained in a bottle or a sachet, for example.

Le dispositif est simple à fabriquer, les opérations de perforation d'une paroi, notamment d'une paroi d'un sachet oblong, et du découpage de son prolongement en une série de languettes formant une frange pouvant se succéder sans interruption sur une même ligne de fabrication, par exemple.The device is simple to manufacture, the operations of perforation of a wall, in particular of a wall of a sachet oblong, and the cutting of its extension into a series of tongues forming a fringe which can succeed one another without interruption on the same production line, by example.

Le dispositif est facile à utiliser, le liquide ou la pâte fluide s'écoulant par la perforation lorsque la bande adhésive est pelée et que le récipient est tenu verticalement ou légèrement incliné, et le liquide ou la pâte fluide pouvant être distribués de manière régulière sur une surface à enduire sur toute la largeur de la frange, les languettes souples suivant individuellement le profil de la surface.The device is easy to use, liquid or paste fluid flowing through the perforation when the strip adhesive is peeled and the container is held vertically or slightly tilted, and the liquid or fluid paste that can be evenly distributed on a surface to be coated over the entire width of the bangs, the flexible tabs individually following the profile of the surface.

Le dispositif peut être réalisé sous forme d'un bec verseur pour un flacon ou sous forme d'une extrémité de distribution d'un sachet portion, par exemple.The device can be produced in the form of a pouring spout for a bottle or as an end of distribution of a serving sachet, for example.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée sous forme d'une extrémité de distribution d'un sachet portion, le dispositif peut être réalisé par superposition, découpage, thermosoudage et remplissage de deux feuilles (ou de deux pans d'une feuille pliée) d'une matière plastique telle que polypropyléne (PP), polyester (PET), polyéthylène (PE) ou toute combinaison de ces matériaux entre eux et/ou avec une feuille d'aluminium, par exemple. In a preferred embodiment in the form of a dispensing end of a serving sachet, the device can be made by superposition, cutting, heat sealing and filling of two sheets (or two sides of a folded sheet) of a plastic material such as polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), polyethylene (PE) or any combination of these materials with each other and / or with a aluminum foil, for example.

Dans la suite du présent exposé, les explications concernant un travail avec deux feuilles peuvent être transposées sans autre au cas d'un travail avec les deux pans d'une seule feuille à plier ou pliée sur elle-même.In the rest of this presentation, the explanations concerning a work with two sheets can be transposed without further in the case of work with both sections of a single sheet to fold or fold on itself.

Les feuilles de matière plastique peuvent avoir une épaisseur de 5-50 u, par exemple.The plastic sheets may have a thickness of 5-50 u, for example.

Les deux feuilles peuvent être thermosoudées le long d'un pourtour généralement rectangulaire et définir un volume intérieur ou récipient oblong que l'on peut remplir avec un assaisonnement liquide ou pâteux tel qu'un arôme liquide, une mayonnaise ou de la moutarde, par exemple.The two sheets can be heat sealed along a generally rectangular periphery and define a volume inside or oblong container that can be filled with a liquid or pasty seasoning such as a liquid flavor, mayonnaise or mustard, for example.

Une des deux feuilles peut présenter une ou plusieurs perforations rondes ou ovales de 0,1-3 mm de diamètre, notamment une ou plusieurs rangées d'ouvertures parallèles à et voisines d'une extrémité du sachet recouvertes d'une bande pelable en aluminium enduite d'une couche adéhésive adéquate, par exemple.One of the two sheets may have one or more 0.1-3 mm diameter round or oval perforations, in particular one or more rows of parallel openings to and near one end of the bag covered with a peelable aluminum strip coated with an adhesive layer adequate, for example.

La frange peut être formée d'un prolongement d'une ou des deux feuilles au-delà de l'extrémité présentant la ou les ouvertures de distribution du produit, la ou les deux feuilles étant découpées en languettes juxtaposées s'étendant longitudinalement dans le prolongement du sachet, par exemple.The fringe may be formed by an extension of one or more two sheets beyond the end showing the product distribution openings, one or both leaves being cut into juxtaposed strips extending longitudinally in the extension of the bag, for example.

Un tel sachet peut être fabriqué en série à l'aide de deux feuilles défilant en continu, par un procédé comprenant des étapes de:

  • perforation d'une feuille à intervalles réguliers correspondant à la longueur totale du sachet,
  • obturation des perforations par une bande pelable,
  • superposition des deux feuilles,
  • thermosoudage des bords longitudinaux,
  • thermosoudage transversal, au-dessous des perforations ainsi que sur une certaine longueur dans un prolongement du sachet au-dessous des perforations,
  • découpage transversal d'une extrémités supérieure du sachet,
  • remplissage par l'extrémité supérieure,
  • thermosoudage de l'extrémité supérieure,
  • découpage transversal d'une extrémité inférieure du sachet dans le prolongement au-dessous des perforations, et
  • découpage longitudinal du prolongement en languettes juxtaposées formant une frange, par exemple.
Such a sachet can be produced in series using two sheets running continuously, by a process comprising steps of:
  • perforation of a sheet at regular intervals corresponding to the total length of the sachet,
  • sealing the perforations with a peelable strip,
  • superposition of the two sheets,
  • longitudinal edge heat sealing,
  • transverse heat sealing, below the perforations as well as over a certain length in an extension of the bag below the perforations,
  • transverse cutting of an upper end of the bag,
  • filling from the upper end,
  • heat sealing of the upper end,
  • transverse cutting of a lower end of the bag in the extension below the perforations, and
  • longitudinal cutting of the extension into juxtaposed tongues forming a fringe, for example.

Dans une variante d'un tel procédé, la frange peut être formée dans le bord d'un des deux pans d'une feuille à plier défilant en continu, les perforations étant prévues le long du bord opposé et les étapes de fabrication décrites plus en détail ci-dessus pouvant être adaptées de manière adéquate, par exemple.In a variant of such a process, the fringe can be formed in the edge of one of the two sides of a sheet with fold continuously scrolling, the perforations being provided along the opposite edge and the manufacturing steps described in more detail above which can be adapted from adequately, for example.
