Description

La présente invention concerne des caisses en matériau rigide, notamment en bois, qui sont stockables à plat.The present invention relates to boxes made of material rigid, especially in wood, which can be stored flat.

Il est connu de conditionner une ou plusieurs bouteille(s) de vin ou d'alcool dans une caisse en bois, qui assure une présentation prestigieuse. Bien entendu, il serait possible d'utiliser des cartons, mais la présentation est alors nettement moins valorisante.It is known to package one or more bottles of wine or alcohol in a wooden case, which provides a presentation prestigious. Of course, it would be possible to use boxes, but the presentation is then much less rewarding.

Les caisses destinées à contenir des bouteilles de vin sont assemblées en usine et comprennent, de façon classique, un fond, deux panneaux latéraux et deux panneaux d'extrémité, ces panneaux d'extrémité étant montés perpendiculairement au fond et formant un angle droit par rapport aux panneaux latéraux, et un couvercle.The cases intended to contain bottles of wine are factory assembled and typically include a bottom, two side panels and two end panels, these panels end being mounted perpendicular to the bottom and forming a right angle to the side panels, and a cover.

Les détaillants en vin doivent donc, lorsqu'ils désirent conditionner leurs vins ou certaines bouteilles de vin, telles que des magnums, dans une caisse en bois, stocker les caisses nécessaires sous forme montée, ce qui nécessite un grand volume de stockage.Wine retailers must therefore, when they wish condition their wines or certain bottles of wine, such as magnums, in a wooden case, store the necessary cases under assembled form, which requires a large volume of storage.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir des caisses en matériau rigide, notamment en bois, qui soient stockables à plat et qui soient facilement et rapidement montables lors de l'utilisation, sans avoir besoin d'un outil.The present invention aims to provide boxes in rigid material, in particular wood, which can be stored flat and which are easily and quickly mounted during use, without need a tool.

Selon la présente invention, ce but est atteint en reliant les bords longitudinaux du fond avec un bord longitudinal d'un panneau latéral à l'aide d'une charnière-film pliable de façon à former un ensemble comprenant le fond et les deux panneaux latéraux, les panneaux d'extrémité et le couvercle restant indépendants au cours du stockage. La boíte est donc montée en repliant les panneaux latéraux le long de la charnière-film, de part et d'autre du fond, puis en mettant en place les panneaux d'extrémité et le couvercle.According to the present invention, this object is achieved by connecting the longitudinal edges of the bottom with a longitudinal edge of a panel side using a foldable film hinge to form a assembly comprising the bottom and the two side panels, the end panels and the cover remaining independent during the storage. The box is therefore mounted by folding the side panels the along the film hinge, on either side of the bottom, then putting in places end panels and cover.

La présente invention a, par conséquent, pour objet une caisse en matériau rigide qui est susceptible d'être stockée à plat et mise en forme sans outil, ladite caisse comportant un fond, deux panneaux latéraux, deux panneaux d'extrémité et un couvercle, le fond étant relié par chacun de ses deux bords longitudinaux à un des bords longitudinaux d'un panneau latéral, caractérisée par le fait que le fond et les deux panneaux latéraux forment un ensemble stockable à plat dans lequel chaque bord longitudinal du fond est relié à l'un des bords longitudinaux d'un panneau latéral par une charnière-film pliable, les bords longitudinaux ainsi reliés comportant chacun un chanfrein à 45°, les deux chanfreins se raccordant au niveau de la charnière-film pour former, lorsque l'ensemble est à plat, une rainure en forme de V de sorte que chaque panneau latéral puisse être amené en position perpendiculaire par rapport au fond par simple pliage autour de la charnière-film.The present invention therefore relates to a body made of rigid material which can be stored flat and shaping without tools, said box comprising a bottom, two side panels, two end panels and a cover, the bottom being connected by each of its two longitudinal edges to one of the edges sides of a side panel, characterized in that the bottom and the two side panels form a flat storage unit in which each longitudinal edge of the bottom is connected to one of the edges longitudinal of a side panel by a foldable film hinge, the longitudinal edges thus connected, each comprising a chamfer at 45 °, the two chamfers connecting at the film hinge for form, when the assembly is flat, a V-shaped groove of so that each side panel can be brought into position perpendicular to the bottom by simple folding around the film hinge.

Le matériau rigide non pliable est, de préférence, du bois, pour des raisons commerciales. Cependant, d'autres matériaux rigides non pliables pourraient être utilisés, tels que des panneaux de bois reconstitué, des panneaux de bois revêtus d'une couche de matière plastique colorée ou non, par exemple mélaminée, ou des plaques de matière plastique, transparente ou opaque, colorée ou non, renforcée ou non avec des fibres de verre, ou encore des panneaux métalliques, par exemple en aluminium. Les différents éléments formant la caisse peuvent être constitués du même matériau, de préférence du bois. Cependant, les différents éléments de la caisse peuvent aussi être constitués d'au moins deux matériaux différents. Par exemple, il pourrait être avantageux d'utiliser un couvercle en matière plastique transparente, par exemple en "PLEXIGLAS" (polyméthacrylate de méthyle), le reste de la caisse étant en bois. Le reste de la caisse pourrait également être constitué d'un fond et de panneaux de nature et de couleur différentes.The rigid non-foldable material is preferably wood, for commercial reasons. However, other rigid materials non-foldable could be used, such as wood panels reconstituted, wooden panels coated with a layer of material colored or not colored plastic, for example melamine, or plates of plastic, transparent or opaque, colored or not, reinforced or not with glass fibers, or metallic panels, for example aluminum. The different elements forming the body can be made of the same material, preferably wood. However, the different elements of the body can also be made of at least two different materials. For example, might be advantageous to use a plastic cover transparent, for example in "PLEXIGLAS" (polymethacrylate methyl), the rest of the body being made of wood. The rest of the box could also consist of a background and panels of nature and of different colors.

La charnière-film selon l'invention peut être constituée de tout matériau flexible susceptible de plier sans casser. Ce matériau peut être du papier, un tissu, un non-tissé ou un film de matière plastique. Ce matériau peut être armé de fibres, par exemple de fibres de verre, pour augmenter sa résistance.The film hinge according to the invention may consist of any flexible material that can bend without breaking. This material can be paper, fabric, nonwoven or plastic film. This material can be reinforced with fibers, for example glass fibers, to increase its resistance.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le fond et les deux panneaux latéraux sont obtenus par moulage d'une seule pièce en matière plastique, la charnière-film étant constituée par un amincissement au fond des rainures en forme de V.According to a first embodiment, the bottom and the two side panels are obtained by molding in one piece in plastic material, the film hinge being constituted by a thinning at the bottom of the V-shaped grooves

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la charnière-film est constituée par une bande adhésive, que l'on met en place de part et d'autre de l'arête de raccordement du fond avec un panneau latéral. Dans ce cas, il peut être avantageux de prévoir sur le panneau latéral et/ou le fond, un lamage qui permet d'éviter une surépaisseur au niveau de la charnière-film.According to a second embodiment, the film hinge is consisting of an adhesive strip, which is put in place on both sides and on the other side of the bottom connecting edge with a side panel. In this case, it may be advantageous to provide on the side panel and / or the bottom, a counterbore which prevents excess thickness at the level of the film hinge.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le matériau de la charnière-film recouvre la totalité de la surface extérieure du fond et des panneaux latéraux. Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation, en particulier lorsque le fond et les panneaux latéraux sont en bois reconstitué ou non recouvert d'une couche de matière plastique, la charnière-film est obtenue en creusant une rainure en forme de V tout en conservant la couche de matière plastique.According to another embodiment, the material of the film hinge covers the entire outer surface of the bottom and side panels. According to yet another embodiment, in especially when the bottom and side panels are made of wood reconstituted or not covered with a layer of plastic material, the film hinge is obtained by digging a V-shaped groove while retaining the plastic layer.

De préférence, selon l'invention, l'un au moins des chanfreins délimitant la rainure en V entre un panneau latéral et le fond porte un élément autocollant de façon que, lorsque les panneaux latéraux sont disposés perpendiculairement au fond, les panneaux et le fond soient maintenus dans cette position, même si la charnière-film venait à être détériorée. Une bande pelable, par exemple en papier silicone, est avantageusement disposée sur ledit élément autocollant pour protéger celui-ci pendant le stockage.Preferably, according to the invention, at least one of the chamfers defining the V-groove between a side panel and the bottom wears a self-adhesive element so that when the panels side panels are arranged perpendicular to the bottom, the panels and the be kept in this position, even if the film hinge were to be deteriorated. A peelable strip, for example made of paper silicone, is advantageously disposed on said self-adhesive element to protect it during storage.

Lors du montage, les panneaux latéraux sont pliés à angle droit par rapport au fond, le long des deux charnières-film. On met en place ensuite les panneaux d'extrémité. Il est possible de les mettre en place par collage. Cependant, la fixation se fait, de préférence, par un système de rainures, une rainure étant ménagée dans chacun des panneaux latéraux pour recevoir les bords latéraux des panneaux d'extrémité. Ces rainures sont, avantageusement, en queue d'aronde, pour permettre le maintien de la perpendicularité des grandes faces latérales par rapport au fond. Des rainures sont également ménagées dans le fond pour recevoir le bord inférieur des panneaux d'extrémité.During assembly, the side panels are folded at an angle straight with respect to the bottom, along the two film hinges. We put in then place the end panels. It is possible to put them in place by gluing. However, the fixing is preferably done by a groove system, a groove being formed in each of the side panels to receive the side edges of the panels end. These grooves are, advantageously, in dovetail, to allow the perpendicularity of the large faces to be maintained lateral to the bottom. Grooves are also provided in the bottom to receive the bottom edge of the end panels.

Le couvercle pourrait être fixé par emboítage ou par collage. Il est, de préférence, fixé par coulissement dans des rainures ménagées au voisinage du bord supérieur des panneaux latéraux et vient s'insérer dans une rainure ménagée dans le panneau d'extrémité arrière. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le panneau d'extrémité avant a une plus faible hauteur que le panneau d'extrémité arrière, de façon à permettre le passage du couvercle. De préférence, le couvercle comporte à une de ses extrémités une bordure de surépaisseur qui permet de le manipuler. Dans ce mode de réalisation, cette bordure de surépaisseur vient en appui contre deux becquets formés par l'intersection des rainures destinées au coulissement du couvercle et des rainures disposées au voisinage des bords latéraux du panneau d'extrémité de plus faible hauteur. On peut prévoir, dans ce cas, que la bordure de surépaisseur et les becquets soient munis d'une couche autocollante ou d'un double face rapporté pour que, lorsque le couvercle est en place, il soit maintenu dans sa position de fermeture. Mais on peut également prévoir la mise en place d'une étiquette ou autre bande collante à cheval sur le couvercle et le panneau d'extrémité avant.The cover could be fixed by fitting or by gluing. It is preferably fixed by sliding in grooves made in the vicinity of the upper edge of the side panels and is inserted in a groove in the rear end panel. In this embodiment, the front end panel has a lower height than the rear end panel, so that the cover passage. Preferably, the cover has at one of its ends an excess thickness border which allows it to be manipulated. In this embodiment, this excess thickness border comes support against two spoilers formed by the intersection of the grooves intended for sliding the cover and the grooves arranged in the near the side edges of the lower end panel height. In this case, provision may be made for the excess thickness border and the spoilers have a self-adhesive layer or a double attached side so that when the cover is in place it held in its closed position. But we can also provide for the placement of a label or other sticky tape to horse on the cover and the front end panel.

Dans la description ci-dessus, il a été essentiellement fait référence à l'emballage de bouteilles, mais il est bien entendu que les caisses selon l'invention peuvent être utilisées pour le stockage d'autres objets, leur transport ou leur présentation.In the description above, it was basically done reference to the packaging of bottles, but it is understood that the boxes according to the invention can be used for the storage of other objects, their transport or their presentation.

La dimension des caisses selon l'invention peut être quelconque. Le poids des objets emballés, en particulier le nombre de bouteilles qui peuvent être emballées, n'est limité que par la résistance de la liaison entre le fond et les panneaux latéraux, c'est-à-dire par la résistance de la charnière-film et, éventuellement, du collage entre les chanfreins délimitant la rainure en V.The size of the boxes according to the invention can be any. The weight of the packed objects, in particular the number of bottles that can be packaged, is only limited by strength of the connection between the bottom and the side panels, that is to say by the resistance of the film hinge and, possibly, of the bonding between the chamfers defining the V-groove

Les caisses selon l'invention ont l'avantage de pouvoir être stockées à plat, l'ensemble formé par le fond et les panneaux latéraux reliés par les charnières-film étant posé à plat et le couvercle et les panneaux d'extrémité étant posés sur cet ensemble. Selon les dimensions de la caisse, il est possible d'empiler plusieurs caisses dans un même emballage comme expliqué ci-après. La (ou les) caisse(s) est (sont) ensuite emballée(s) dans un plastique rétractable. La présente invention a donc également pour objet un paquet contenant les éléments d'une ou plusieurs caisse(s) telles que ci-dessus définies, empilés à plat dans un emballage rétractable à chaud.The boxes according to the invention have the advantage of being able to be stored flat, the assembly formed by the bottom and the side panels connected by the film hinges being laid flat and the cover and the end panels being placed on this assembly. According to dimensions of the box, it is possible to stack several boxes in the same packaging as explained below. The box (es) is (are) then packed in shrink plastic. The current invention therefore also relates to a package containing the elements one or more crate (s) as defined above, stacked flat in a heat shrinkable package.

Les caisses selon l'invention ont l'avantage de pouvoir être stockées à plat, ce qui permet à un négociant en vin, par exemple, de ne pas être encombré par des caisses montées. De plus, le montage sur place est facile et rapide et ne nécessite pas d'outil particulier. L'usinage des caisses stockées à plat peut être entièrement automatique en usine et le prix de revient d'une caisse peut donc être inférieur au prix d'une caisse clouée ou agrafée. The boxes according to the invention have the advantage of being able to be stored flat, allowing a wine merchant, for example, to not be crowded by mounted boxes. In addition, mounting on place is easy and fast and does not require any special tool. The machining of cases stored flat can be fully automatic at the factory and the cost price of a case may therefore be lower than the price of a nailed or stapled case.

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va en décrire ci-après, à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, un mode de réalisation représenté sur le dessin annexé.To better understand the object of the invention, we will describe below, by way of purely illustrative and nonlimiting example, an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing.

On this drawing :
  • Figure 1 shows, in perspective, the elements of a box according to the invention;
  • Figures 2 to 4 show in detail three alternative embodiments of the hinge-film connection between the bottom and a side panel;
  • Figure 5 shows, in perspective, the body being assembled;

  • FIG. 7 represents, in exploded perspective, a package constituted by the elements of three boxes according to the invention, during its constitution; and
  • Figure 8 shows, in perspective, the package of Figure 7 as stored.

La caisse représentée sur le dessin à titre d'exemple a été désignée par 1 dans son ensemble ; elle est destinée à l'emballage d'une seule bouteille, par exemple un magnum de champagne. La caisse 1 montée a donc, en section transversale, la forme d'un carré dans lequel peut s'inscrire le cercle de la section de plus grand diamètre de la bouteille et elle a, en longueur, une dimension légèrement supérieure à celle de ladite bouteille.The body shown in the drawing as an example has been designated by 1 as a whole; it is intended for the packaging of a single bottle, for example a magnum of champagne. Box 1 rise therefore, in cross section, the shape of a square in which can register the circle of the larger diameter section of the bottle and it has, in length, a dimension slightly greater than that of said bottle.

Comme visible sur la figure 1, les différents éléments de la caisse comprennent, d'une part, un ensemble 2 constitué par un fond 3 et deux panneaux latéraux 4 et 5, le fond et les panneaux latéraux étant des rectangles ayant la même largeur et la même longueur, d'autre part, deux panneaux d'extrémité de hauteurs différentes 6 et 7 et enfin, un couvercle rectangulaire 8 ayant approximativement les mêmes dimensions que le fond 3.As shown in Figure 1, the different elements of the body include, on the one hand, a set 2 consisting of a bottom 3 and two side panels 4 and 5, the bottom and the side panels being rectangles of the same width and length, on the other share, two end panels of different heights 6 and 7 and finally, a rectangular cover 8 having approximately the same dimensions than the bottom 3.

Dans l'ensemble 2, le fond 3 et les panneaux 4 et 5 sont reliés par une charnière-film. Selon une première variante représentée sur la figure 2, la charnière-film est constituée par une bande 50 de matière flexible, telle qu'un film de matière plastique autocollant sur une face ; cette bande 50 est disposée à cheval sur l'arête définie entre le bord longitudinal 3a du fond 3 et le bord longitudinal 4b du panneau latéral 4 pour former une première charnière-film 9a ; une autre bande 50 identique à la précédente est disposée sur l'arête comprise entre le bord longitudinal 3b du fond 3, opposé au bord 3a, et le bord longitunal 5a du panneau 5, de façon à former une seconde charnière-film 9b.In assembly 2, the bottom 3 and the panels 4 and 5 are connected by a film hinge. According to a first variant shown in FIG. 2, the film hinge consists of a strip 50 of flexible material, such as a film of self-adhesive plastic material on one side; this strip 50 is disposed astride the edge defined between the longitudinal edge 3a of the base 3 and the longitudinal edge 4b of the side panel 4 to form a first film hinge 9 a; another strip 50 identical to the previous one is disposed on the ridge between the longitudinal edge 3b of the base 3, opposite to the edge 3a, and the longitunal edge 5a of the panel 5 so as to form a second film hinge 9 b .

Comme visible sur les figures 2 à 4, chaque bord longitudinal du fond 3 et le bord longitudinal d'un panneau latéral 4 ou 5 de part et d'autre de la charnière-film 9a ou 9b portent un chanfrein longitudinal 10 à 45° par rapport aux plans moyens du fond 3 et des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5. Ces chanfreins forment ainsi dans l'ensemble 2 une rainure en V 11a, 11b entre les panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 d'une part et le fond 3 d'autre part.As shown in Figures 2 to 4, each longitudinal edge of the bottom 3 and the longitudinal edge of a side panel 4 or 5 on either side of the film hinge 9 a or 9 b carry a longitudinal chamfer 10 to 45 ° relative to the mean planes of the bottom 3 and of the side panels 4 and 5. These chamfers thus together form 2 a V-groove 11 a , 11 b between the side panels 4 and 5 on the one hand and the bottom 3 on the other hand.

Sur la figure 2, on voit que la bande 50 formant la chanière-film 9a est fixée sur les surfaces inférieures juxtaposées du fond 3 et du panneau latéral 4 et constitue une légère surépaisseur sur ces surfaces inférieures. Sur la figure 3, on voit qu'on a ménagé un lamage 12 dans les surfaces inférieures du panneau latéral 4 et du fond 3 juxtaposés, de façon à éviter cette surépaisseur. Sur la figure 4, on voit que la charnière-film 9a est obtenue de moulage avec le fond 3 et le panneau 4 ; une couche de colle 25 protégée par un papier pelable est déposée sur l'un des chanfreins longitudinaux 10.In Figure 2, it is seen that the strip 50 forming the chanière film 9a is attached to the juxtaposed lower surfaces of the bottom 3 and the side panel 4 and is a slight extra thickness on the lower surfaces. In FIG. 3, it can be seen that a counterbore 12 has been made in the lower surfaces of the side panel 4 and of the bottom 3 juxtaposed, so as to avoid this excess thickness. In Figure 4, it is seen that the film hinge 9 a is obtained by molding with the bottom 3 and the panel 4; a layer of adhesive 25 protected by a peelable paper is deposited on one of the longitudinal chamfers 10.

Le fond 3 est muni sur ses bords avant et arrière 3c et 3d de rainures 13c et 13d de section transversale rectangulaire. Les panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 sont munis sur leurs bords transversaux d'extrémité avant et arrière de rainures en queue d'aronde 14c, 14d, 15c, 15d, et sur leurs bords longitudinaux 4a et 5b (opposés aux bords 4b et 5a portant les charnières-film 9a et 9b), de rainures de section transversale rectangulaire 16a et 17b. Les lignes médianes des rainures 13c, 14c, 15c d'une part, et 13d, 14d, 15d d'autre part, sont colinéaires.The bottom 3 is provided on its front and rear edges 3 c and 3 d with grooves 13 c and 13 d of rectangular cross section. The side panels 4 and 5 are provided on their transverse front and rear end edges with dovetail grooves 14 c , 14 d , 15 c , 15 d , and on their longitudinal edges 4 a and 5 b (opposite the edges 4 b and 5 a carrying the film hinges 9 a and 9 b ), of grooves of rectangular cross section 16 a and 17 b . The midlines of the grooves 13 c , 14 c , 15 c on the one hand, and 13 d , 14 d , 15 d on the other hand, are collinear.

Le panneau d'extrémité arrière 6 a une hauteur égale à la somme de la profondeur de la rainure 13c et de la largeur des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 ; la largeur du panneau 6 est égale à la largeur du fond 3 augmentée de la profondeur des rainures en queue d'aronde 14c et 15c. Le panneau 6 est muni, sur ses bords latéraux opposés 18a, 18b, d'un tenon en queue d'aronde et, à son bord supérieur, d'une rainure de section rectangulaire 18c ayant, au jeu nécessaire près, une épaisseur égale à l'épaisseur du couvercle 8.The rear end panel 6 has a height equal to the sum of the depth of the groove 13 c and the width of the side panels 4 and 5; the width of the panel 6 is equal to the width of the bottom 3 increased by the depth of the dovetail grooves 14 c and 15 c . The panel 6 is provided, on its opposite lateral edges 18 a , 18 b , with a dovetail tenon and, at its upper edge, a rectangular section groove 18 c having, with the necessary clearance close, a thickness equal to the thickness of the cover 8.

Le panneau d'extrémité avant 7 porte sur ses bords latéraux 19a et 19b des tenons en queue d'aronde susceptibles de coopérer avec les rainures 14d et 15d des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5. Sa hauteur est telle que le couvercle 8 puisse pénétrer dans les rainures 16a du panneau 4 et 17b du panneau 5 et y coulisser.The front end panel 7 carries on its side edges 19 a and 19 b dovetail studs capable of cooperating with the grooves 14 d and 15 d of the side panels 4 and 5. Its height is such that the cover 8 can penetrate into the grooves 16 a of the panel 4 and 17 b of the panel 5 and slide there.

Le couvercle est constitué d'une plaque de matériau rigide, d'épaisseur telle que ses bords latéraux 20a et 20b puissent coulisser respectivement dans les rainures 16a et 17b et que son bord arrière 21 puisse pénétrer dans la rainure 18c du panneau d'extrémité arrière 6. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, il comporte sur son bord avant 22 une surépaisseur 23, qui, à la fermeture de la boíte, vient en appui sur deux becquets 24a et 24b formés par l'intersection des rainures 16a et 14d du panneau 4 et des rainures 17b et 15d du panneau 5. On peut munir les becquets 24a et 24b et la bordure de la surépaisseur 22 d'un badigeon autocollant pour que le couvercle soit maintenu en position lorsqu'il est mis en place.The cover consists of a plate of rigid material, of a thickness such that its lateral edges 20 a and 20 b can slide respectively in the grooves 16 a and 17 b and that its rear edge 21 can penetrate into the groove 18 c of the rear end panel 6. According to the embodiment shown, it has on its front edge 22 an extra thickness 23, which, when the box is closed, comes to bear on two spoilers 24 a and 24 b formed by the intersection grooves 16 a and 14 d of the panel 4 and grooves 17 b and 15 d of the panel 5. The spoilers 24 a and 24 b and the edge of the excess thickness 22 can be provided with a self-adhesive whitewash so that the cover is maintained in position when put in place.

Pour monter la boíte selon l'invention, on commence par replier les panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 perpendiculairement au fond 3, les charnières-film 9a et 9b se pliant et les parois 10 de chaque rainure en V 11a et 11b s'appliquant l'une contre l'autre (voir figure 5). Eventuellement, pour la variante de la figure 4, on enlève préalablement le papier pelable protégeant la colle 25 déposée sur un des chanfreins 10 pour que les parois de chacune des rainures collent l'une sur l'autre. On glisse ensuite le panneau d'extrémité 6 par ses tenons 18a et 18b dans les rainures 14c et 15c des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 et le panneau d'extrémité 7 par ses tenons 19a et 19b dans les rainures 14d et 15d des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5. Le bord inférieur du panneau 6 vient se loger dans la rainure 13c du fond 3 et celui du panneau 7 dans la rainure 13d du fond 3.To mount the box according to the invention, we start by folding the side panels 4 and 5 perpendicular to the bottom 3, the hinges-film 9 a and 9 b folding and the walls 10 of each V-groove 11 a and 11 b s '' applying one against the other (see Figure 5). Optionally, for the variant of FIG. 4, the peelable paper protecting the glue 25 deposited on one of the chamfers 10 is removed beforehand so that the walls of each of the grooves stick to one another. Then slide the end panel 6 by its pins 18 a and 18 b in the grooves 14 c and 15 c of the side panels 4 and 5 and the end panel 7 by its pins 19 a and 19 b in the grooves 14 d and 15 d of the side panels 4 and 5. The lower edge of the panel 6 is received in the groove 13 c of the bottom 3 and that of the panel 7 in the groove 13 d of the bottom 3.

On peut alors glisser les bords 20a et 20b du couvercle 8 dans les rainures 16a et 17b des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 jusqu'à ce que son bord arrière 21 pénètre dans la rainure 18c du panneau 6. La bordure de la surépaisseur 23, qui a servi à manipuler le couvercle, vient alors en contact avec les becquets 24a et 24b. We can then slide the edges 20 a and 20 b of the cover 8 into the grooves 16 a and 17 b of the side panels 4 and 5 until its rear edge 21 penetrates into the groove 18 c of the panel 6. The border of the extra thickness 23, which was used to manipulate the cover, then comes into contact with the spoilers 24 a and 24 b .

Pour le stockage, on pose à plat l'ensemble 2 constitué des panneaux latéraux 4 et 5 et le fond 3 et on pose dessus le couvercle 8 et les panneaux d'extrémité 4 et 5.For storage, set 2 is laid flat consisting of side panels 4 and 5 and the bottom 3 and the cover 8 and the end panels 4 and 5.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, où la caisse a une forme carrée en section transversale, il est possible de constituer pour le stockage un paquet parallélépipèdique constitué par les éléments de trois boítes. Dans ce but, on pose à plat l'ensemble 2 d'une première caisse, puis on répartit sur cet ensemble les trois couvercles et les six panneaux d'extrémité, sur deux couches. Par exemple, dans une première couche, les panneaux d'extrémité 6 et 7 des trois caisses sont déposés sur chacun des panneaux latéraux et sur le fond ; sur une seconde couche, on dispose les trois couvercles 8 des trois caisses, la surépaisseur 23 étant tournée vers la première couche. Sur la pile ainsi formée, on dépose les ensembles 2 des deuxième et troisième caisses. Le tout forme un parallélépipède plat, que l'on peut emballer dans un film plastique thermorétractable (voir figure 8).According to the embodiment shown, where the body has a square shape in cross section, it is possible to constitute for storage a parallelepipedic package consisting of the elements of three boxes. For this purpose, the assembly 2 is laid flat for a first body, then we distribute over this set the three covers and the six end panels, on two layers. For example, in a first layer, the end panels 6 and 7 of the three boxes are deposited on each of the side panels and on the bottom; on a second layer, we have the three covers 8 of the three boxes, the extra thickness 23 being turned towards the first layer. On the stack as well formed, the sets 2 of the second and third boxes are deposited. The whole forms a flat parallelepiped, which can be wrapped in a heat shrinkable plastic film (see figure 8).

D'autres répartitions des panneaux d'extrémité seraient possibles. Par exemple, on peut mettre un couvercle et quatre panneaux d'extrémité dans la première couche, le couvercle étant, de préférence, disposé au-dessus du fond de l'ensemble 2 de la première caisse et deux couvercles et deux panneaux d'extrémité dans la deuxième couche.Other end panel distributions would be possible. For example, you can put a cover and four panels end in the first layer, the cover preferably being arranged above the bottom of the set 2 of the first box and two covers and two end panels in the second layer.

La caisse de l'invention peut également servir comme cercueil.The box of the invention can also be used as coffin.
