Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une boíte d'emballage, notamment en carton ou matériau analogue, destinée à loger, et maintenir en place, pendant le transport et/ou pendant la période de stockage, un objet tel qu'un tube souple, notamment en métal. Plus particulièrement, l'invention vise une boíte d'emballage du type « à calage intégré », permettant d'améliorer l'immobilisation de l'objet emballé, par rapport à une boíte simple, et mettre celui-ci à l'abri de toute détérioration.The present invention relates to a packaging box, in particular in cardboard or similar material, intended to house, and hold in place, during transport and / or during the storage period, an object such as a tube flexible, especially in metal. More particularly, the invention relates to a box packaging of the “integrated timing” type, making it possible to improve immobilization of the packaged object, compared to a simple box, and put this protected from any deterioration.

Des boítes d'emballage de ce type sont connues depuis longtemps, pour la protection et la présentation de produits conditionnés dans des tubes, tels que notamment, des produits cosmétiques, comme des crèmes de soin du visage, des crèmes de protection solaire, des dentifrices, mais également des produits dermo-pharmaceutiques, des colles, des produits alimentaires comme de la mayonnaise, etc....Packaging boxes of this type have been known for a long time for the protection and presentation of products packaged in tubes, such as in particular, cosmetic products, such as face care creams, sun protection creams, toothpastes, but also dermo-pharmaceutical products, glues, food products like mayonnaise, etc ...

Ces tubes, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit de tubes contenant un produit cosmétique, présentent souvent un faible volume, considérablement plus faible que le volume d'emballage qui leur est destiné. Pour cette raison, un dispositif de calage est souhaitable, pour maintenir immobile le tube dans sa boíte, pendant le transport et la période de stockage.These tubes, especially when it comes to tubes containing a product cosmetic, often have a small volume, considerably more lower than the packaging volume intended for them. For this reason, a wedging device is desirable, to keep the tube stationary in its box, during transport and storage period.

Actuellement, de nombreuses boítes d'emballages pourvues d'un dispositif de calage sont disponibles sur le marché. Le prix de revient de ces boítes doit être aussi faible que possible, d'où la nécessité que leur structure soit simple, et que leur fabrication soit aisée et automatisable. A cet effet, on essaye, dans la mesure du possible, de réaliser des boítes d'emballage pourvues d'un dispositif de calage intégré, en une seule pièce, par découpe d'un flan en carton ou en un autre matériau analogue. Cette opération est suivie de pliages successifs des différentes portions du flan, dont est composée la boíte. La consolidation de la boíte, prête au conditionnement de l'objet, peut être obtenue, ensuite, de manière habituelle, par collage.Currently, many packaging boxes provided with a device for wedging are available in the market. The cost price of these boxes must be as small as possible, hence the need for their structure to be simple, and that their manufacture is easy and automated. To this end, we try, as far as possible, make packaging boxes provided with a integrated wedging device, in one piece, by cutting a blank cardboard or other similar material. This is followed by successive folding of the different portions of the blank, of which the box. The consolidation of the box, ready for the packaging of the object, can be obtained, then, in the usual way, by gluing.

Par le document FR-A-2 771 378, on connaít une boíte pour l'emballage d'un objet tel qu'un tube, obtenue par pliages successifs d'un flan en une seule pièce, comprenant des moyens pour caler ledit objet à l'intérieur de la boíte. Ce flan est constitué d'une succession de onze pans, reliés entre eux par des lignes de pliage parallèles. Sept pans servent à la formation des moyens de calage. La consolidation de la boíte est obtenue par trois zones de collage.By document FR-A-2 771 378, there is known a box for packaging a object such as a tube, obtained by successive folding of a blank into a single piece, comprising means for wedging said object inside the box. This blank consists of a succession of eleven sides, linked together by parallel fold lines. Seven sections are used to form the means of wedging. The consolidation of the box is obtained by three bonding zones.

La fabrication de cette boíte nécessite un outillage industriel relativement compliqué, ce qui entraíne un coût de fabrication élevé. En outre, la structure de cette boíte nécessite un flan dont la surface est relativement élevée par rapport au volume de la boíte, formé après montage du flan.The manufacture of this box requires relatively industrial tools complicated, which results in a high manufacturing cost. In addition, the structure of this box requires a blank whose surface is relatively high by ratio to the volume of the box, formed after mounting the blank.

Par ailleurs, le document DE-U-299 02 027 décrit une boíte d'emballage pour un tube, obtenue à partir d'un flan en carton prédécoupé et préplié, formant quatre faces, destinées à former, après pliage, l'extérieur d'un fourreau parallélépipédique. Les deux extrémités ouvertes du fourreau comportent, de manière habituelle, deux rabats aptes à fermer les extrémités du fourreau et former avec celui-ci, l'extérieur de la boíte. Le flan comprend, en outre, une succession de six éléments de structure sensiblement triangulaire. Ces éléments sont attenants à l'une des faces externes, formant fourreau, de la boíte. Ces éléments sont agencés à l'intérieur de la boíte, de manière à définir un espace en « entonnoir », dans lequel peut être calé l'objet à emballer. Cette boíte présente sensiblement les mêmes inconvénients que la boíte décrite dans le document FR-A-2 771 378.Furthermore, document DE-U-299 02 027 describes a packaging box for a tube, obtained from a pre-cut and pre-folded cardboard blank, forming four faces, intended to form, after folding, the outside of a sheath parallelepiped. The two open ends of the sheath have, usual way, two flaps able to close the ends of the sheath and form with it, the outside of the box. The blank also includes a succession of six elements of substantially triangular structure. These elements are attached to one of the external faces, forming a sheath, of the box. These elements are arranged inside the box, so as to define a "funnel" space in which the object to be wrap. This box has substantially the same disadvantages as the box described in document FR-A-2 771 378.

Aussi, la présente invention vise à fournir une boíte comportant un système de calage intégré, de structure simplifiée par rapport aux boítiers évoqués ci-dessus, et dont la réalisation soit possible en automatique, par un outil de fabrication peu onéreux. Also, the present invention aims to provide a box comprising a system integrated wedging, of simplified structure compared to the boxes mentioned above, and whose realization is possible in automatic, by a tool of inexpensive manufacturing.

L'invention vise, en outre, la réalisation d'une boíte à calage intégré, dont le flan est de dimensions réduites, par rapport au flan des boítes précitées.The invention also relates to the production of a box with integrated timing, the blank is of reduced dimensions, compared to the blank of the above-mentioned boxes.

Un autre objet de l'invention concerne une boíte pouvant être mise à plat, après montage et après fixation des moyens de calage. Par cette disposition, il est possible de stocker un lot de boítes à vide dans un volume minimum, permettant à la suite, directement, après déploiement de la boíte, l'introduction, de l'objet à emballer.Another object of the invention relates to a box which can be laid flat, after mounting and after fixing the wedging means. By this provision, it is possible to store a batch of vacuum boxes in a minimum volume, allowing as a result, directly, after deployment of the box, the introduction of the object to be packaged.

Selon la présente invention, ces objectifs sont atteints au moyen d'une boíte pour l'emballage d'un objet, réalisée en carton ou en matériau analogue, destinée à contenir au moins un objet, notamment un tube de produit cosmétique. Cette boíte est formée à partir d'un flan prédécoupé en une seule pièce, délimitant quatre faces reliées entre elles le long de lignes de pliage longitudinales, sensiblement parallèles. De cette manière est formé, après pliage, un fourreau dont les extrémités sont aptes à être fermées par deux rabats d'extrémité. Des moyens sont prévus pour assurer le calage de (ou des) objet(s) à l'intérieur de la boíte, lesdits moyens de calage étant formés d'une portion dudit flan, s'étendant sensiblement dans le prolongement d'une première face. En d'autres termes, les moyens de calage sont constitués d'une portion du flan située dans l'axe longitudinal d'une des faces du flan prédécoupé.According to the present invention, these objectives are achieved by means of a box for the packaging of an object, made of cardboard or similar material, intended to contain at least one object, in particular a tube of product cosmetic. This box is formed from a blank precut into a single piece, delimiting four faces connected together along fold lines longitudinal, substantially parallel. In this way is formed, after folding, a sheath whose ends are capable of being closed by two end flaps. Means are provided to ensure the timing of (or des) object (s) inside the box, said wedging means being formed a portion of said blank, extending substantially in the extension of a first side. In other words, the timing means are constituted a portion of the blank located in the longitudinal axis of one of the faces of the blank pre-cut.

Ces moyens de calage sont conçus de manière à, en position montée de la boíte, délimiter en partie, au moins un logement destiné à recevoir ledit (lesdits) objet(s), ledit logement étant de section transversale, variant de façon progressive sur au moins une partie de sa hauteur axiale.These wedging means are designed so that, in the mounted position of the box, delimit in part, at least one housing intended to receive said (said) object (s), said housing being of cross section, varying from gradually over at least part of its axial height.

De manière avantageuse, la section transversale dudit logement est sensiblement nulle en une première extrémité du logement et sensiblement égale à la section du fourreau en une seconde extrémité du logement, opposée à la première. Advantageously, the cross section of said housing is substantially zero at one end of the housing and substantially equal to the section of the sheath at a second end of the housing, opposite the first.

Avantageusement encore, les moyens de calage comportent au moins deux parties à l'intérieur desquelles est formé ledit logement.Advantageously also, the wedging means comprise at least two parts inside which said housing is formed.

Avantageusement, la portion formant les moyens de calage est reliée à cette première face par une première ligne de pliage transversale.Advantageously, the portion forming the wedging means is connected to this first face by a first transverse fold line.

Selon un mode de réalisation, cette portion comporte une extrémité adjacente à ladite première face, et une extrémité libre, destinée, lors du montage de la boíte, à être fixée sur une seconde face, située en regard de la première. Avec une telle configuration, les moyens de calage constituent une structure formant un logement apte à recevoir ledit objet à l'intérieur de ladite structure.According to one embodiment, this portion has an adjacent end to said first face, and a free end, intended, during assembly of the box, to be fixed on a second face, located opposite the first. With such a configuration, the wedging means constitute a structure forming a housing capable of receiving said object inside said structure.

Ainsi, ladite portion comprend une seconde ligne de pliage transversale, entre l'extrémité adjacente à ladite première face et l'extrémité libre, ladite portion, étant pliée autour de ladite seconde ligne de pliage transversale, avant que son extrémité libre ne soit fixée à ladite seconde face, ladite seconde ligne de pliage transversale formant le fond d'une zone de la boíte destinée à recevoir ledit objet.Thus, said portion comprises a second transverse fold line, between the end adjacent to said first face and the free end, said portion, being folded around said second transverse fold line, before its free end is not fixed to said second face, said second line of transverse folding forming the bottom of an area of the box intended to receive said object.

Avantageusement, l'extrémité libre de ladite portion de flan formant les moyens de calage est fixée à ladite seconde face, au voisinage d'une extrémité de la boite située à l'opposé de la seconde ligne de pliage transversale.Advantageously, the free end of said blank portion forming the wedging means is fixed to said second face, in the vicinity of a end of the box opposite the second fold line transverse.

Selon un mode de réalisation simplifié, l'extrémité libre de ladite portion peut ne pas être fixée sur la seconde face. Dans cette configuration, l'extrémité libre est destinée, lors du montage de la boíte à venir en appui libre sur la seconde face, située en regard de la première. L'appui de la seconde extrémité sur la seconde face est plus ou moins importante, en fonction du volume de l'objet calé entre les deux parties des moyens de calage.According to a simplified embodiment, the free end of said portion can not be attached to the second side. In this configuration, the end free is intended, during assembly of the box to come to rest freely on the second face, located opposite the first. The support of the second end on the second face is more or less important, depending on the volume of the object wedged between the two parts of the wedging means.

Alternativement, la portion formant les moyens de calage est pliée autour de ladite seconde ligne de pliage transversale, avant que son extrémité libre ne soit fixée à ladite seconde face, de sorte que les moyens de calage comportent au moins deux parties à l'extérieur desquelles est formé le logement destinée à recevoir ledit objet. Dans cette configuration, ladite portion est reliée à la première face par la première ligne de pliage transversale, la portion formant les moyens de calage comportant une extrémité adjacente à ladite première face, et une extrémité libre, destinée, lors du montage de la boíte à être fixée sur une seconde face, adjacente à la première. Avec une telle configuration, les moyens de calage constituent une structure formant ressort apte à caler ledit objet entre une zone externe des moyens de calage et deux faces adjacentes du fourreau.Alternatively, the portion forming the wedging means is folded around said second transverse fold line, before its free end does not is fixed to said second face, so that the wedging means have at least two parts outside of which the housing intended to receive said object. In this configuration, said portion is connected to the first side by the first fold line transverse, the portion forming the wedging means comprising a end adjacent to said first face, and a free end, intended, during assembly of the box to be fixed on a second face, adjacent to the first. With such a configuration, the wedging means constitute a spring structure capable of wedging said object between an external zone of the wedging means and two adjacent faces of the sleeve.

Avantageusement, le flan est constitué d'une feuille de carton, de carton ondulé ou de tout autre matériau, comme une feuille en plastique, convenablement découpée et pliée.Advantageously, the blank consists of a sheet of cardboard, of cardboard corrugated or any other material, such as a plastic sheet, suitably cut and folded.

En particulier, l'objet à emballer visé est, par exemple un tube, par exemple en plastique, en métal ou en un complexe métal/plastique, et contenant, notamment, un produit cosmétique, et dont l'une des extrémités est formée par un fond obtenu par pincement et soudure le long d'une ligne de fermeture, ledit tube pouvant être de largeur croissante en direction de la ligne de fermeture. La seconde extrémité du tube présente un col ouvert pourvu d'un bouchon de fermeture amovible. Cependant, en principe tout autre objet peut être emballé dans la boíte conforme à l'invention, à condition qu'il présente une forme appropriée.In particular, the object to be packaged is, for example a tube, for example plastic, metal or a metal / plastic complex, and container, in particular, a cosmetic product, and one end of which is formed by a bottom obtained by pinching and welding along a closing line, said tube possibly being of increasing width in the direction of the line of closing. The second end of the tube has an open neck provided with a removable closure cap. However, in principle any other object can be packed in the box according to the invention, provided that it has an appropriate form.

Selon un aspect intéressant de l'invention, ladite seconde ligne de pliage transversale est située entre l'extrémité adjacente à ladite première face et l'extrémité libre de ladite portion interne. Cette portion interne est pliée autour de ladite seconde ligne de pliage transversale, avant que son extrémité libre ne soit fixée à la seconde face, ladite seconde ligne de pliage transversale formant le fond de ladite zone de la boíte, destinée à recevoir ledit objet. According to an interesting aspect of the invention, said second fold line transverse is located between the end adjacent to said first face and the free end of said internal portion. This internal portion is folded around of said second transverse fold line, before its free end is not fixed to the second face, said second transverse fold line forming the bottom of said area of the box, intended to receive said object.

On obtient ainsi, en d'autres termes, une boíte de forme externe parallélépipédique, formée par deux faces principales parallèles, deux faces latérales parallèles, et deux rabats d'extrémité parallèles, dont l'un au moins peut rester ouvert pour l'introduction et l'extraction dudit objet, les moyens pour caler l'objet comportant une portion interne en deux parties, formant entre elles un angle aigu. Chacune des extrémités des deux faces latérales comporte un volet rabattable, plié avant fermeture des deux rabats d'extrémité. Il est envisageable, cependant, de réaliser des boítes de forme prismatique.We thus obtain, in other words, a box of external shape parallelepiped, formed by two parallel main faces, two faces parallel sides, and two parallel end flaps, at least one of which can remain open for the introduction and extraction of said object, the means to wedge the object comprising an internal portion in two parts, forming between them an acute angle. Each end of the two side faces has a folding flap, folded before closing the two flaps end. It is possible, however, to make shaped boxes prismatic.

Avantageusement, l'extrémité libre de ladite portion interne du flan formant les moyens de calage est fixée à la seconde face, au voisinage d'une extrémité de la boite, située à l'opposé de la seconde ligne de pliage transversale.Advantageously, the free end of said internal portion of the blank forming the wedging means is fixed to the second face, near one end of the box, located opposite the second transverse fold line.

De préférence, la seconde ligne de pliage transversale n'est pas parallèle à la première ligne de pliage transversale. En effet, la seconde ligne de pliage transversale peut former, avec la première ligne de pliage transversale, un angle a compris entre environ 0° et environ 45°, et de préférence compris entre environ 5° et environ 35°. Ainsi, en position montée de la boíte, les deux parties de la portion formant les moyens de calage, est vrillée. On obtient une configuration suivant laquelle la seconde ligne de pliage peut se placer sensiblement en diagonale, par rapport à la section transversale du fourreau la boíte.Preferably, the second transverse fold line is not parallel to the first transverse fold line. Indeed, the second fold line transverse can form, with the first transverse fold line, a angle a between about 0 ° and about 45 °, and preferably between between about 5 ° and about 35 °. So, in the mounted position of the box, the two parts of the portion forming the wedging means is twisted. We get a configuration according to which the second fold line can be placed substantially diagonally from the cross section of the sleeve the box.

De préférence, l'angle a est choisi de sorte à ce que, en fonction des dimensions de la boíte, après formation dudit fourreau et après fixation des moyens de calage sur la seconde face, ladite boíte puisse être mise à plat.Preferably, the angle a is chosen so that, depending on the dimensions of the box, after formation of said sheath and after fixing of wedging means on the second face, said box can be laid flat.

De manière avantageuse, l'extrémité libre de la portion du flan formant les moyens de calage se présente sous la forme d'une patte attenante à ladite portion du flan par une troisième ligne de pliage, parallèle à la première ligne de pliage transversale. Cette extrémité libre est fixée sur une zone de la seconde face, laquelle zone est située au voisinage de ladite extrémité de la boíte située à l'opposé de la seconde ligne de pliage transversale.Advantageously, the free end of the portion of the blank forming the wedging means is in the form of a tab adjoining said portion of the blank by a third fold line, parallel to the first line transverse folding. This free end is fixed to an area of the second face, which zone is located in the vicinity of said end of the box located opposite the second transverse fold line.

La seconde ligne de pliage transversale présente un point médian, ledit point médian étant situé à une distance déterminée par rapport aux première et seconde lignes de pliage transversales. Avantageusement, lesdites distances étant sensiblement identiques.The second transverse fold line has a midpoint, said point median being located at a determined distance from the first and second transverse fold lines. Advantageously, said distances being substantially identical.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la portion formant les moyens de calage, comporte un évidement, notamment un évidement central, s'étendant notamment de part et d'autre de la seconde ligne de pliage. Cet évidement est destiné à recevoir et à immobiliser une portion d'extrémité dudit objet, constitué par exemple, par le bouchon d'un tube. Le cas échéant, cet évidement ne peut être pratiqué que sur l'une des portions des moyens de calage.According to a particular embodiment, the portion forming the means of wedging, comprises a recess, in particular a central recess, extending especially on either side of the second fold line. This recess is intended to receive and immobilize an end portion of said object, constituted for example by the plug of a tube. If applicable, this obviously can only be practiced on one of the portions of the means of wedging.

La boíte de l'invention, selon un autre mode de réalisation, peut servir à l'emballage de deux objets distincts, calés chacun à l'une des extrémités de la boíte. A cet effet, deux moyens de calage sont prévus pour le calage des deux objets, situés chacun sur l'une des extrémités dudit fourreau. Ces moyens de calage sont formés d'une première portion dudit flan et d'une seconde portion dudit flan, lesdites première et seconde portions étant orientées à l'opposé l'une par rapport à l'autre, chacune desdites portions étant de longueur au plus égale à la hauteur de la boíte, définie par la longueur des lignes de pliage longitudinales du fourreau.The box of the invention, according to another embodiment, can be used to the packaging of two separate objects, each wedged at one end of the box. To this end, two wedging means are provided for wedging the two objects, each located on one of the ends of said sheath. These wedging means are formed of a first portion of said blank and a second portion of said blank, said first and second portions being oriented opposite to each other, each of said portions being of length at most equal to the height of the box, defined by the length of the longitudinal fold lines of the sheath.

Ainsi, la disposition de la boíte de l'invention permet d'insérer un ou deux objets dans la boíte sur une chaíne de conditionnement automatique. Cette disposition permet, en outre, de positionner et immobiliser le (ou les) objet(s) suivant une orientation donnée à l'intérieur de la boíte, ce qui convient, notamment lorsque le (ou les) objet(s) est (sont) fragile(s).Thus, the arrangement of the box of the invention allows to insert one or two objects in the box on an automatic packaging line. This arrangement also makes it possible to position and immobilize the object (s) following an orientation given inside the box, which is suitable, especially when the object (s) is (are) fragile.

La disposition de la boíte de l'invention permet, en outre :

  • la réalisation d'une boíte de structure simple avec un nombre de portions réduit ;
  • une réduction sensible de la surface totale du flan, par rapport au volume formé par la boíte, due à une superposition minimale des différents pans, lors de l'assemblage de la boíte ;
  • l'utilisation d'un outil industriel simple et peu onéreux ;
  • la protection anti-choc d'un objet fragile pendant le transport ;
  • une mise à plat de la boíte pré-montée, prête à recevoir l'objet à emballer après déploiement de la boite, permettant de minimiser le volume de stockage de la boíte avant utilisation ;
  • la décoration ou l'impression des faces extérieures de la boíte, simultanément avec la partie visible des moyens de calage ;
  • un positionnement souple par déformation élastique des moyens de calage (par flexion et ou torsion).
The arrangement of the box of the invention also allows:
  • the realization of a simple structure box with a reduced number of portions;
  • a significant reduction in the total surface of the blank, relative to the volume formed by the box, due to a minimal superposition of the different sides, during the assembly of the box;
  • the use of a simple and inexpensive industrial tool;
  • shock protection of a fragile object during transport;
  • a flat lay of the pre-assembled box, ready to receive the object to be packaged after deployment of the box, making it possible to minimize the storage volume of the box before use;
  • decorating or printing the outside faces of the box, simultaneously with the visible part of the wedging means;
  • flexible positioning by elastic deformation of the wedging means (by bending and or twisting).

    • On voit sur les figures 1a, 2, 3 et 4 les étapes successives de formation d'une boíte B, à partir d'un flan 1, de forme parallélépipédique, comportant trois paires de faces rectangulaires externes. Chaque paire de faces étant formée par deux faces en regard l'une de l'autre : deux faces principales 4, 8, deux faces latérales 2, 6, et deux rabats de fermeture 18, 26, par lesquels la boíte peut être ouverte ou fermée. Les faces 2, 4, 6, 8, ainsi qu'une patte de collage 10, sont reliées entre elles par des lignes de pliage, parallèles 3, 5, 7 et 9, déterminant la hauteur H de la boíte.We see in Figures 1a, 2, 3 and 4 the successive stages of formation of a box B, from a blank 1, of parallelepiped shape, comprising three pairs of external rectangular faces. Each pair of faces being formed by two faces facing each other: two main faces 4, 8, two side faces 2, 6, and two closure flaps 18, 26, through which the box can be opened or closed. Faces 2, 4, 6, 8, as well as a bonding tab 10, are interconnected by parallel fold lines 3, 5, 7 and 9, determining the height H of the box.

    Après pliage des faces 2, 4, 6, 8, puis par collage de la patte 10 sur une zone située sur un bord libre 10a de la face 2, un fourreau de forme générale parallélépipédique est obtenu. Ce fourreau présente deux extrémités ouvertes 12a et 12b. Chacune des faces latérales 2 et 6 est pourvue de deux volets 22, 32 et 24, 30, reliés aux extrémités 12a et 12b respectivement des faces latérales 2, 6, par des lignes de pliage 21, 33, et 24, 31 respectivement. La face principale 4 présente une première ligne de pliage transversale 11 formée à l'extrémité 12a, et attenante à une portion allongée 12, 14, 16 prolongeant ladite face principale 4. Une extrémité libre de ladite portion allongée est formée par une patte 16, reliée et repliée selon une ligne de pliage 15. Cette extrémité 16 est destinée à être fixée sur une seconde face 8 de la boite, qui, en position montée de la boíte, est située en regard de la première face 4. Les volets 12 et 14 constituent des moyens de calage interne de l'objet à emballer dans la boíte.After folding the faces 2, 4, 6, 8, then by gluing the tab 10 on an area located on a free edge 10a of the face 2, a sheath of general shape parallelepiped is obtained. This sheath has two open ends 12a and 12b. Each of the side faces 2 and 6 is provided with two flaps 22, 32 and 24, 30, connected to the ends 12a and 12b respectively of the faces side 2, 6, by fold lines 21, 33, and 24, 31 respectively. The main face 4 has a first transverse fold line 11 formed at the end 12a, and adjoining an elongated portion 12, 14, 16 extending said main face 4. A free end of said portion elongated is formed by a tab 16, connected and folded along a line of folding 15. This end 16 is intended to be fixed on a second face 8 of the box, which, in the assembled position of the box, is located opposite the first face 4. The flaps 12 and 14 constitute wedging means internal of the object to be packed in the box.

    Ces volets 12, 14 sont reliés entre eux par une ligne de pliage transversale 13, de manière à former un angle α avec la première ligne de pliage transversal 11. L'angle α est variable en fonction des dimensions de la boíte, en particulier en fonction de la largeur des faces latérales du fourreau et de la longueur moyenne des moyens de calage L1, correspondant à la moitié de la longueur totale des volets 12, 14. Ainsi, un point médian D est défini, situé au milieu de la ligne de pliage 13. Le point D définit les distances L1 et L2, de longueur sensiblement égale, reliant ledit point D aux lignes de pliage 11 et 15 respectivement, situées de part et d'autre de la ligne de pliage 13.These flaps 12, 14 are interconnected by a transverse fold line 13, so as to form an angle α with the first transverse fold line 11. The angle α is variable depending on the dimensions of the box, in particular in function of the width of the lateral faces of the sheath and of the average length of the wedging means L 1 , corresponding to half the total length of the flaps 12, 14. Thus, a midpoint D is defined, located in the middle of the line of folding 13. The point D defines the distances L 1 and L 2 , of substantially equal length, connecting said point D to the folding lines 11 and 15 respectively, located on either side of the folding line 13.

    L'angle a est variable entre 0° et 45°, et de préférence entre 5° et 35°. Il est bien entendu que, lorsque l'angle α est de 0° ou voisin de 0°, le fourreau formé ne peut pas être mis à plat. Pour cette raison, de préférence, on choisit l'angle α, de sorte que le fourreau formé avec les moyens de calage puisse être mis à plat.The angle a is variable between 0 ° and 45 °, and preferably between 5 ° and 35 °. It is of course, when the angle α is 0 ° or close to 0 °, the sleeve formed cannot be laid flat. For this reason, preferably, we choose the angle α, so that the sheath formed with the wedging means can be laid flat.

    L'extrémité 4b de la face 4, opposée à son extrémité 12a, présente par une ligne de pliage 17, reliant le rabat 18 à la face 4. Une patte 20, reliée au rabat 18 par une ligne de pliage 19, parallèle à la ligne de pliage 17, est destinée à assurer la fermeture du fond du fourreau, après repliage des volets 22 et 24.The end 4b of the face 4, opposite its end 12a, has a fold line 17, connecting the flap 18 to the face 4. A tab 20, connected to the flap 18 by a fold line 19, parallel to the fold line 17, is intended for closing the bottom of the sheath, after folding the flaps 22 and 24.

    On voit, notamment sur la figure 2, que le volet 12 est rabattu sur la face 4, puis le volet 14 est plié selon la ligne de pliage 13, en direction, de la face latérale 6, définissant ainsi ledit angle α.We see, in particular in FIG. 2, that the flap 12 is folded down on the face 4, then the flap 14 is folded along the fold line 13, in direction, from the face lateral 6, thus defining said angle α.

    Après rabattement de la patte d'extrémité 16 sur la portion 14, la face apparente de ladite patte 16 est enduite de colle et fixée sur une zone 16a, située au voisinage de l'extrémité 8a de la face 8. Ainsi, on obtient une configuration telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 3.After folding the end tab 16 over the portion 14, the face apparent of said tab 16 is coated with glue and fixed on an area 16a, located near the end 8a of the face 8. Thus, one obtains a configuration as illustrated in figure 3.

    La patte 10 est alors pliée selon la ligne de pliage longitudinale 9, et enduite, à son tour, de colle. Apres pliage des faces 2, 4, 6, et 8, la patte 10 est collée sur le bord d'extrémité 10a de la face 2. Lorsque l'angle α est choisi convenablement, le flan de la figure 3, après collage de la patte 10 sur le bord 10a, présente une structure pouvant être sensiblement mise à plat.The tab 10 is then folded along the longitudinal fold line 9, and coated, in turn, glue. After folding sides 2, 4, 6, and 8, tab 10 is glued on the end edge 10a of the face 2. When the angle α is chosen suitably, the blank of Figure 3, after gluing the tab 10 on the edge 10a, has a structure which can be substantially laid flat.

    Le fourreau déployé, comme montré sur la figure 4a, est prêt à recevoir l'objet T à emballer. Selon l'exemple considéré, cet objet est un tube, comportant un fond F et, du côté opposé, un bouchon C amovible. Selon la réalisation de la figure 4a, le tube est introduit dans le fourreau par le fond F.The deployed sheath, as shown in Figure 4a, is ready to receive the object T to pack. According to the example considered, this object is a tube, comprising a bottom F and, on the opposite side, a removable plug C. According to the realization of the Figure 4a, the tube is inserted into the sheath through the bottom F.

    Pour fermer le fond du fourreau du côté de l'extrémité 12b, les volets 22 et 24 sont rabattus, puis le rabat 18 est plié, selon la ligne de pliage 17. Puis, la patte 20 est pliée selon la ligne de pliage 19 et introduite dans le fourreau, du côté de l'extrémité 12b. To close the bottom of the sheath on the end 12b side, flaps 22 and 24 are folded down, then the flap 18 is folded, along the fold line 17. Then, the tab 20 is folded along the fold line 19 and inserted into the sleeve, end side 12b.

    De manière semblable, l'autre extrémité 12a est fermée par rabattement des volets 30 et 32, puis le rabat 26 est plié selon la ligne de pliage 27. La patte 28 est pliée selon la ligne de pliage 29 et introduite dans le fourreau du côté de l'extrémité 12a.Similarly, the other end 12a is closed by folding the flaps 30 and 32, then the flap 26 is folded along the fold line 27. The tab 28 is folded along the fold line 29 and inserted into the sleeve on the side from the end 12a.

    Ainsi le tube T se trouve immobilisé pendant le transport et le stockage.Thus the tube T is immobilized during transport and storage.

    Lors de la description des figures qui vont suivre, les références des parties identiques aux parties décrites en référence aux figures 1a, 2, 3 et 4, sont maintenues. Seules les parties qui diffèrent de la réalisation décrite, portent des références modifiées par des signes « ' », « b » ou portant des numéros de référence majorés de 100.During the description of the figures which will follow, the references of the parts identical to the parts described with reference to FIGS. 1a, 2, 3 and 4, are maintained. Only the parts which differ from the described embodiment bear references modified by signs "'", "b" or bearing numbers benchmarks plus 100.

    A la figure 1b, on a représenté un autre mode de réalisation d'un flan 1'. Ce mode de réalisation diffère de celui de la figure 1a par le fait que les moyens de calage 12' et 14' sont attenants à la seconde face 8, opposée à la première 4, et disposés sur la seconde extrémité 12b du fourreau, opposée à la première 12a, selon une ligne de pliage 11'. Par conséquent, une patte d'extrémité 16', reliée aux moyens de calage 12', 14' selon une ligne de pliage 15', est destinée à être fixée sur une zone 16b, situé au voisinage de l'extrémité 4b de la face 4. Le reste du flan 1' est identique au flan 1 de la figure 1. Ainsi l'assemblage et le remplissage de la boíte peuvent être effectués, de manière analogue à celle décrite en référence aux figures, 1a, 2, 3, et 4a, et ne nécessitent pas de description détaillée supplémentaire.In Figure 1b, there is shown another embodiment of a blank 1 '. This embodiment differs from that of FIG. 1a in that the means wedging 12 'and 14' are adjacent to the second face 8, opposite the first 4, and arranged on the second end 12b of the sheath, opposite to the first 12a, along a fold line 11 '. Therefore, one leg end 16 ', connected to the wedging means 12', 14 'along a line of folding 15 ', is intended to be fixed on a zone 16b, located in the vicinity of the end 4b of the face 4. The rest of the blank 1 'is identical to the blank 1 of the Figure 1. Thus the assembly and filling of the box can be performed, analogously to that described with reference to the figures, 1a, 2, 3, and 4a, and do not require additional detailed description.

    Les figures 4b et 4c illustrent un autre mode de réalisation d'une boíte B', se différenciant de la boite B de la figure 4a, uniquement par le fait que les moyens de calage 12, 14 présentent un évidement E, notamment un évidement central, pratiqué de part et d'autre de la ligne de pliage 13. La forme de cet évidement est choisie, de sorte qu'une extrémité C de l'objet T à emballer puisse y être logée et y être immobilisée. Dans le cas présent, c'est le bouchon C du tube qui traverse partiellement l'évidement E (figure 4c), immobilisant ainsi le tube.Figures 4b and 4c illustrate another embodiment of a box B ', is differentiating from box B of FIG. 4a, only by the fact that the wedging means 12, 14 have a recess E, in particular a central recess, made on either side of the fold line 13. The shape of this recess is chosen, so that one end C of the object T to packing can be accommodated and immobilized there. In this case, it's the plug C of the tube which partially crosses the recess E (FIG. 4c), thus immobilizing the tube.

    La figure 5 illustre un agencement avantageux d'une multitude de flans sur une feuille de carton, avant découpe.FIG. 5 illustrates an advantageous arrangement of a multitude of blanks on a sheet of cardboard, before cutting.

    On voit qu'une première rangée de flans (1a, 1b, 1c), tous de même orientation, est disposée suivant une ligne (R1), chaque flan étant séparé d'un flan avoisinant d'une distance (r1) correspondant à la largeur des moyens de calage interne (12, 14). Une seconde rangée de flans (1d, 1e), d'orientation inversée par rapport aux flans de la première rangée, et agencée suivant une seconde ligne (R2), parallèle à la première, de manière à former un arrangement tête-bêche desdits flans, les moyens de calage (12, 14) d'une première rangée occupant la surface formée par le décalage (r1) d'une seconde rangée, et inversement.We see that a first row of blanks (1a, 1b, 1c), all of the same orientation, is arranged along a line (R 1 ), each blank being separated from a blank about a distance (r 1 ) corresponding to the width of the internal wedging means (12, 14). A second row of blanks (1d, 1e), of orientation reversed with respect to the blanks of the first row, and arranged along a second line (R 2 ), parallel to the first, so as to form a head-to-tail arrangement of said blanks, the wedging means (12, 14) of a first row occupying the surface formed by the offset (r 1 ) of a second row, and vice versa.

    Par rapport aux flans des boítes de l'art antérieur précité, cet arrangement permet de minimiser le taux de chutes, restant après découpe des flans. En d'autres termes, par rapport aux flans conventionnels, on améliore le nombre de flans découpés par feuille.Compared to the blanks of the boxes of the aforementioned prior art, this arrangement minimizes the rate of falls, remaining after cutting the blanks. In in other words, compared to conventional blanks, we improve the number of blanks cut out by sheet.

    Les figures 6a et 6b représentent un flan 101, conforme à un autre mode encore de réalisation de l'invention. Le flan 101 est destiné à former une boíte servant à l'emballage simultané de deux objets, et comportant deux moyens de calage interne indépendants 12, 14 ; 112 ;114. Un premier moyen de calage 12, 14 est attenant à une extrémité 12a de la face 4 du flan. Un second moyen de calage 112', 114' est attenant à l'extrémité 12b, opposée à l'extrémité 12a, de la face 8. La longueur des moyens de calage est choisie de sorte que leurs longueurs respectives ne dépasse pas la hauteur H de la boíte. Ainsi, il est possible de disposer deux objets dans la boite, de manière superposée. Figures 6a and 6b show a blank 101, according to another mode still carrying out the invention. The blank 101 is intended to form a box used for the simultaneous packaging of two objects, and comprising two means independent internal timing 12, 14; 112; 114. A first means of wedging 12, 14 is attached to one end 12a of the face 4 of the blank. A second wedging means 112 ', 114' is attached to the end 12b, opposite the end 12a, of the face 8. The length of the wedging means is chosen so that their respective lengths do not exceed the height H of the box. Thus, it is possible to place two objects in the box, so superimposed.

    En particulier, la longueur cumulée des portions 12 et 14 peut être différente de la longueur cumulée des portions 112' et 114', ce qui permet de les adapter au calage de deux objets de tailles différentes.In particular, the cumulative length of portions 12 and 14 may be different the cumulative length of the portions 112 'and 114', which allows them to be adapt to the wedging of two objects of different sizes.

    Le pliage des moyens de calage, la formation du fourreau, l'insertion des objets dans le fourreau et la fermeture de la boíte est effectuée de façon similaire aux opérations décrites précédemment, en référence aux figures 1a et 1b.The folding of the wedging means, the formation of the sheath, the insertion of the objects in the scabbard and the box is closed so similar to the operations described above, with reference to FIGS. 1a and 1b.

    Les figures 7 et 8 illustrent un autre mode de réalisation, selon lequel un flan est désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 101a. Les différentes parties, identiques ou semblables aux parties du flan conforme aux figures 1a, 2, 3 et 4, portent les numéros de référence des ces figures, majorés de 100. La description détaillée de ces parties ne sera reprise que partiellement.Figures 7 and 8 illustrate another embodiment, according to which a blank is designated as a whole by the reference 101a. The different parts, identical or similar to the parts of the blank according to FIGS. 1a, 2, 3 and 4, bear the reference numbers of these figures, increased by 100. The detailed description of these parts will only be included in part.

    Sur les figures 7 et 8, on voit les quatre faces 102, 104, 106 et 108 destinées à former, après pliage, un fourreau parallélépipédique constituant avec les rabats supérieur et inférieur 126 et 118, l'extérieur de la boíte.In Figures 7 and 8, we see the four faces 102, 104, 106 and 108 intended to form, after folding, a parallelepiped sheath constituting with the upper and lower flaps 126 and 118, the outside of the box.

    Les moyens de calage sont constitués par deux portions 112 et 114. La portion 112 est attenante à une première face principale 104. Une ligne de pliage transversal 111 est prévue entre la face principale 104 et la portion 112. Les portions 112 et 114 sont pliées, comme visible notamment sur la figure 9, suivant une ligne de pliage 113, non parallèle à la ligne de pliage 111, de manière à former un angle α.The wedging means consist of two portions 112 and 114. The portion 112 is adjacent to a first main face 104. A line of transverse folding 111 is provided between the main face 104 and the portion 112. The portions 112 and 114 are folded, as can be seen in particular on the Figure 9, along a fold line 113, not parallel to the fold line 111, so as to form an angle α.

    Une extrémité libre des portions 112, 114, est formée par une patte 116, reliée et repliée selon une ligne de pliage 115, sensiblement parallèle à la ligne de pliage transversal 111. Cette patte 116 est destinée à être fixée sur une face latérale 106 de la boite, qui, en position montée de la boíte, est adjacente à la première face 104. Ainsi, les portions 112 et 114 constituent des moyens de calage de l'objet à emballer dans la boíte. A free end of the portions 112, 114, is formed by a tab 116, connected and folded along a fold line 115, substantially parallel to the transverse fold line 111. This tab 116 is intended to be fixed on a side face 106 of the box, which, in the assembled position of the box, is adjacent to the first face 104. Thus, the portions 112 and 114 constitute means for wedging the object to be packaged in the box.

    On remarquera que la largeur des portions 112 et 114 est décroissante depuis la ligne de pliage transversal 111 jusqu'à la ligne de pliage 115 de la patte 116. De cette manière, la ligne de pliage 115 présente sensiblement la même dimension que la largueur de la face latérale 106. Le reste de la boite est configurée manière sensiblement identique que la boíte illustrée sur les figures 1a, 2, 3, et 4.It will be noted that the width of the portions 112 and 114 is decreasing from the transverse fold line 111 to the fold line 115 of the tab 116. In this way, the fold line 115 has substantially the same dimension as the width of the side face 106. The rest of the box is configured in a substantially identical way as the box illustrated on the Figures 1a, 2, 3, and 4.

    Contrairement au mode de réalisation des figures 1a, 2, 3 et 4, les moyens de calage 112 et 114 ne forment pas une poche dans lequel l'objet à emballer peut être logé. En effet, en position montée de la boíte, la ligne de pliage 113 est orientée sensiblement en diagonale entre la ligne de pliage 103 et la ligne de pliage 107. En conséquence, la portion 114 est vrillé de 45° depuis la ligne de pliage 115 vers la ligne de pliage 113. Ainsi, on ménage un logement à l'intérieur de la boíte, destiné à recevoir un objet, la section de ce logement étant décroissante depuis l'extrémité 112a vers le rabat inférieur 118. Grâce a cette configuration, l'objet à emballer de la boíte peut être calé entre la portion 114 et les parois internes des faces 102 et 108. Du fait de la flexibilité de la portion 114, par exemple lorsque le flan 101a est réalisé en une feuille d'un matériau tel que du carton, l'objet est maintenu élastiquement dans la boíte, sans contraintes excessives exercées par les portions respectives de la boíte sur ledit objet.Unlike the embodiment of Figures 1a, 2, 3 and 4, the means of wedging 112 and 114 do not form a pocket in which the object to be packaged can be accommodated. Indeed, in the assembled position of the box, the fold line 113 is oriented substantially diagonally between the fold line 103 and the line folding 107. Consequently, the portion 114 is twisted by 45 ° from the line fold 115 towards fold line 113. Thus, a housing is provided at inside the box, intended to receive an object, the section of this housing being decreasing from the end 112a towards the lower flap 118. Thanks to this configuration, the object to be packaged from the box can be wedged between the portion 114 and the internal walls of the faces 102 and 108. Due to the flexibility of the portion 114, for example when the blank 101a is made of a sheet of a material such as cardboard, the object is held elastically in the box, without excessive stresses exerted by the respective portions of the box on said object.

    La figure 9, montre un mode de réalisation simplifié de celui représenté sur la figure 4a. La boíte 1 de la figure 9 se distingue de celle de la figure 4a par le fait que les moyens de calage interne 12, 14 sont pliés selon une seconde ligne de pliage 13 parallèle à la première ligne de pliage 12a. En d'autres termes, l'angle α (représenté sur la figure 4a) est nul. De plus, l'extrémité libre 15a des moyens de calage n'est pas collée sur une paroi interne du fourreau, mais uniquement en contact libre. En fonction de la conformation du tube T, lors de son introduction entre les deux parties 12 et 14 formant les moyens de calage, ces deux parties se bombent élastiquement vers l'extérieur, en direction des faces correspondantes du fourreau. Simultanément, l'extrémité libre 15a peut coulisser sur la surface interne de la face 8. Par un contact élastique latéral exercé par les moyens de calage, le tube est solidement serré dans la boíte.Figure 9 shows a simplified embodiment of that shown in the Figure 4a. The box 1 of Figure 9 differs from that of Figure 4a by the fact that the internal wedging means 12, 14 are folded for one second fold line 13 parallel to the first fold line 12a. In others terms, the angle α (shown in Figure 4a) is zero. In addition, the end free 15a of the wedging means is not bonded to an internal wall of the sheath, but only in free contact. Depending on the conformation of the tube T, during its introduction between the two parts 12 and 14 forming the wedging means, these two parts bulge elastically towards outside, towards the corresponding faces of the sheath. Simultaneously, the free end 15a can slide on the internal surface of the face 8. By an elastic lateral contact exerted by the wedging means, the tube is securely tightened in the box.

    Pendant le transport ou pendant l'exposition en magasin, les boítes de l'invention peuvent être empilées, sans que les objets emballés puissent changer de position accidentellement, et être endommagés, le cas échéant.During transport or during the store display, the boxes of the invention can be stacked, without the wrapped objects being able to accidentally change position, and be damaged if necessary.

    Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes preferred embodiments of the invention. It is obvious that variants can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
