Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of packaging, in particular packaging which simultaneously serves as dispensers, in particular for the packaging and dispensing of sheet products, namely tissues of paper or the like, and relates to a packaging intended for this purpose. .
  • tissue paper or the like The presentation of tissue paper or the like is well known. Generally, the tissues are either stacked individually or entangled in such a way that a pull on the tissue near the opening and the exit of the latter automatically cause the presentation of the edge of the tissue or the like in the corresponding opening of the tissue. packaging.
  • said packages are provided with a dispensing opening cut on one of their faces.
  • Such dispensing packages and the corresponding manufacturing processes are in particular known from documents FR-A-2 334 584, EP-A-0 275 481 and EP-A-0 401 621.
  • FR-A-2 334 584 describes a tissue box or the like, which is provided with an opening for seizing tissues or the like, cut at the edge of one of its faces and recoverable by means of a shutter forming an integral part of the package, permanently connected thereto by one of its edges and at least two other edges of the contour are fastenably attached to said packaging before use.
  • a shutter forming an integral part of the package, permanently connected thereto by one of its edges and at least two other edges of the contour are fastenably attached to said packaging before use.
  • the packaging is provided near the free edge of the flap of a retention means thereof by adhesion, for temporary closure after the tearing of these two weakened edges of said packaging.
  • a retaining means ensures a hygienic closure of the package between two uses.
  • EP-A-0 401 621 is a packaging intended for the distribution of tissues or the like, which has a means of access to the contents of the package consisting of a shutter forming an integral part of said package and the first opening is carried out picking on part of its contour along a weakened line.
  • the packaging thus produced is obtained by cutting blanks in a continuously moving strip, said blanks being then folded to form the package and simultaneously provided with their contents, and then closed, by the use of machines adapted for this purpose, such as those known from EP-A-0 275 481.
  • the packaging thus produced has the disadvantage of only allowing a hygienic closure of their gripping opening tissue or the like that if the closure flap is perfectly applied above said opening and is maintained there. This is moreover particularly the case when the closure flap has a surface exactly corresponding to that of the opening of seizing tissues or the like and is kept in a closed position only by means of a tongue adhesive (EP-A-0 401 621).
  • DE-U-8 901 535 discloses a package comprising an adhesive strip attached to a flap in one piece with the package.
  • US-A-2 866 586 discloses a package according to the preamble of claim 1 which allows a good pulling of the flap during opening.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a distribution package of sheet products, namely paper tissues or the like allowing easy access to the products to be dispensed, while ensuring the possibility of being able to close the packaging preserving maximum hygiene of its contents.
  • the subject of the invention is a package according to claim 1.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 and 7 of the accompanying drawings show a parallelepiped shaped packaging and of rectangular cross section, provided with an opening 1 for extracting a sheet product, such as a tissue or the like.
  • the opening 1 is provided with a flap 2 in at least two superposed elements of different sizes, the element 2 "of smaller size being disposed on the inner face of This flap 2.
  • the element 2 " is secured, at least before the first use, the portion of an underlying film 3 forming a lining packaging.
  • the elements 2 'and 2 "forming the flap 2 are made in one piece with the package and are connected by a part of their contour to said package, via weakened lines 4.
  • the element 2 "of smaller size forming the inside face of the flap 2 determines at least partly the surface of the opening 1 of the package, while the element 2 'of larger size, which forms the outer face of the flap 2, is arranged with the possibility of partial tearing on a covering flange of a face of the package including that comprising the element 2 "forming the inner face of said flap 2.
  • the opening 1 is disposed astride an edge 5 connecting two adjacent sides of the package.
  • this edge 5 connects a long side 9 to a small side 10, the flap 2 having its hinge axis 6 on the short side 10.
  • the package consists of an envelope film whose ends overlap on two adjacent sides, so that the package is doubled on these two sides.
  • the element 2 "of smaller size forming the inner face of the flap 2 is part, at least partially, of the inner lining 3.
  • This element 2" comprises a first part 2 "A, on the largest side 9, which is extends on a second part 2 "B covering at least partly the short side 10.
  • the element 2" forming the inner face is secured, for example by welding, the element 2 forming the outer face, at least along the portion 2 "B and optionally partially of the portion 2" A.
  • the packaging may advantageously be provided, near the free edge of the element 2 ', a removable fastener 8, such as a pressure sensitive adhesive tape or an adhesive tape.
  • a removable fastener 8 such as a pressure sensitive adhesive tape or an adhesive tape.
  • the packaging according to the invention is made by folding a pre-cut blank along fold lines shown in fine phantom.
  • This blank is provided with preformed weakening lines 4 corresponding to the contours of the tear-off elements 2 'and 2 "intended to form the flap 2.
  • the arrangement of these elements 2' and 2" makes it possible to achieve an embrittlement of the outline for the two elements 2 and 2 "with one and the same tool, for example, a line consisting of cutouts with dashes separated by tenons.
  • the flap 2 is constituted by the superposition of a larger element 2 'on a smaller size element 2 ", it is sufficient to provide weakened tear lines, so that those these extend, on the one hand, on a part of the packaging corresponding to a small side 10 and an adjacent surface of the long side 9 and, on the other hand, on a part of the packaging corresponding to a 11 edge folded on the long side 9 and partially to the small side 10 corresponding to each package on a moving strip.
  • the cutting of the blank into individual elements each corresponding to a package is then performed in such a way that one of its ends AA is formed by the edge 11 having the larger element 2 'and the other end BB is formed by a short side 10 provided with the smaller element 2 "extending partly on the long side adjacent.
  • FIG. 4 of the accompanying drawings shows a product according to the invention, in which part 2 "B has been folded over part 2" A. These parts are secured to one another by the joint formed by the fold. Part 2 "B is itself secured to the internal face of the element 2 'located above the long side 9 of the package.This part 2" B is glued or heat-welded to the element 2' .
  • This characteristic makes it possible to improve the tearing off of the element 2 "at the time of the first use It also makes it possible to obtain, in the zone of the opening 1 of the package, a triple wall thickness of the flap 2 favoring even more the closure of the packaging after use and thus the improvement of hygiene.
  • FIGS. 6A to 6C schematically represent the sequence of operations for producing the package according to FIG. 4.
  • the sidewall 100 is introduced, via a pusher element, into a forming cavity 111 formed on the periphery of a wheel 110.
  • Two panels 102 'and 102 "B of the flank protrude from the cell and are applied against the outer peripheral surface of the wheel ( Figure 6A). After moving a fraction of revolutions, the wheel comes to dispose the cell in front of a loading means of a packet P of tissues which is then introduced into it.
  • a means such as an air jet associated with a belt, folds the panel 102 'by 180 °. It follows that this panel 102 'covers the opening of the cell 111 and the panel 102 "B ( Figure 6B), a heated bar 112 then ensures the welding of the panels 102' and 102" B between them. Then, the package is expelled from the cell and a block of self-adhesive adhesives 102 such as a "hot melt” adhesive is deposited on the outer face of the package carrying the panel 102 "B (FIG. 6C) and then the assembly formed by the two panels is folded on the glue block and adheres to it. The package then undergoes the other stages of formation and gathering in a known manner.
  • a block of self-adhesive adhesives 102 such as a "hot melt” adhesive
  • the invention it is possible to make a dispensing package that can be easily handled by the user and to ensure, throughout the duration of use, a correct repeated closure of said packaging. It can thus be ensured a safeguard of the hygiene of the contents, the latter being accessible only after a voluntary maneuver of the flap 2, so that the risk of pollution of the contents is practically canceled.
  • the extraction of tissues or the like is facilitated, because the opening 1 can have relatively large dimensions.
  • the opening 1 may be placed in the longitudinal direction of the case or in the transverse direction, as is more particularly apparent from FIG. 7.
  • the extraction opening may be of large dimension.
