Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a device universal packaging intended more particularly for packaging and presentation of bouquets of flowers.
  • the device according to the present invention can also be used as packaging for various objects such as candies, chocolates or sugared almonds or an item large individual such as a bottle.
  • the document W096 / 37133 relates to a device for the presentation of individual bouquets of flowers, which includes a sheet rolled up in a cone or a cylinder to form a support while a waterproof sheet is placed under the bottom of this support and is raised along the side wall of it to be held by means of a tape nearby of the upper end of said support, which is shaped to allow the introduction of water and flowers.
  • Such a packaging device cannot be used instantly it is stored in a deployed, flat form, and it has to be transformed by the user for its volume, represents a constraint and a waste of time for the latter, which goes against the aim sought by the presented invention.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages by proposing a universal packaging device, particularly suitable for the presentation of bouquets of flowers, already preformed so as to suppress the operations of volume of existing devices that can be stored easily by nesting with a small footprint.
  • the universal preformed packaging device for objects solid or liquid is of the constituted type a deformable receptacle comprising a base and means for folding allowing, in combination with closure means, to pass it, by concentric tightening of its part high, of an open state where it has a shape overall cylindrical and flared upwards able to receive one or several objects to be packed, in a closed packaging state where it has a generally conical shape, and it is characterized essentially in that said folding means comprise the upper edge of said receptacle which has a shape in sawtooth, and fold lines extending between said upper edge and said base to form over the entire periphery of the receptacle for the inside folds, which are each consisting of three fold lines extending from point from said base to said sawtooth edge in three corresponding points at two upper ends and at one lower end of said serrated edge, said upper ends being located directly on the side and on the other of said lower end.
  • the closure means may consist of a cap comprising lugs enabling it to be snapped into openings provided for this purpose in the receptacle near its upper edge, or by means of a drawstring in openings made not far from its upper edge.
  • the device can advantageously include a flange ensuring passage with the closure means snapshot of the open state of the receptacle in the closed state packing by concentric tightening of said flange.
  • the closure means may be in the form of a cord surrounding said flange or sliding in holes made over its entire periphery.
  • the flange is preferably made up of tongues which each occupy one of the hollows of the upper serrated edge of the receptacle and which extend backwards or beyond the upper ends of the latter while diverging with respect to the axis of the receptacle, and in that said tabs each comprise a fold line which extends centrally over its entire height, in line with the central fold line of the corresponding return fold so as to form an outgoing fold, the junction line between said tongue and the upper edge forming a V-fold line
  • the V-fold line will present between its two branches an angle determined according to the inclination that we want to give to the tabs by relation to the axis of the receptacle in the closed state of packaging of the device, namely the more the angle will be opened the more tabs will tilt towards the base of the receptacle in the state closed packaging of said receptacle.
  • the V-fold line can present an obtuse angle so that the tabs tilt automatically to the base of the receptacle when switching to the closed state of packing to be able to snap a cap of closure on these.
  • this consists of tabs which each occupy one of the hollows in the upper edge and which extend back from the upper ends of this last diverging from the axis of the receptacle, said tabs each having a fold line which extends centrally over their entire height in the extension of the central fold line of the inside fold corresponding, the junction line between said tongue and the upper edge forming a V-fold line
  • closure means may be in the form of a cap with lugs intended to be snapped automatically in recesses made in the tabs or under said tabs near the V-fold line
  • the packaging device according to the invention will be preferably made in one piece of plastic by injection, extrusion or other known process.
  • the packaging device is consisting of a receptacle 1 which is generally deformable cylindrical and flared upwards, the base 10 of which is polygonal, ready to use and can be stored in this shape, as can be seen in Figure 2, by nesting and stacking of receptacles 1 in each others, which allows for a reduced footprint for the storage.
  • the upper edge 11 of the receptacle 1 is cut out sawtooth and each lower edge 13 of this last part a central fold line 14 which extends up to a point 14 'located at base 10 of the receptacle 1, and from which point, 14 'leave two lines of lateral folding 15 each joining an upper edge 16, which upper edges 16 are located directly on either side of the lower edge 13.
  • the device packaging according to the invention comprises tabs 2 which are each located in a hollow 12 of the upper edge 11 and which extend diverging from the axis of the receptacle 1 beyond the upper edges 16 of the edge upper 11 sawtooth.
  • Tabs 2 have each a fold line 20 which extends centrally from the corresponding lower edge 13 to the edge upper 21 of the tongue 2 so as to form a fold outgoing 7.
  • the fold lines 14 and 15 form with the corresponding part of the upper edge 11 in the wall peripheral of receptacle 1 of re-entrant folds 16 ' allowing, by an accordion effect, to put the receptacle 1, as can be seen in Figure 3, in a closed state of packaging where it has a conical shape in which the walls 17 located between the re-entrant folds 16 ' form by their external face, more or less, the outer surface of receptacle 1.
  • the walls of the inside folds 16 ′ will be preferably thinner than the outer walls 17 located between the re-entrant folds 16 '.
  • the tongues 2 thus form a collar 22 to facilitate the closing of the receptacle 1 in passing for example a cord 3 around the tabs 2, at the level of its junction with the upper edge 11, which has to tighten the flange 22 and close the receptacle 1 in closed packaging state.
  • Tabs 2 may also include each a hole 23, as can be seen in FIG. 3, allowing the cord 3 to slide in the holes 23 to further facilitate the closing of the receptacle 1.
  • the base 10 of the receptacle 1 can extend down so as to raise it according to the objects to be packaged, the receptacle 1 of FIG. 5, the enhancement of which has a cylindrical shape, being particularly suitable for packaging a bottle 4. It should be noted that the extensions can have various forms depending on the or objects to be wrapped.
  • FIG. 6 shows a receptacle 1 of the type of that of FIG. 1, particularly suitable for the packaging of a bouquet of flowers 5 whose stems 50 have have been introduced into receptacle 1.
  • the flange 22 has been tightened by a cord 3 surrounding it and the tabs 2, bent and slightly open towards the rods 50 and forming a flared collar upwards, allow to maintain shaped bouquet of flowers 5.
  • the tabs 2 of the flange 22 can also be inclined towards the base 10 of the receptacle 1, as shown in Figure 8a and Figure 8b, so that allow the closure of the receptacle 1 by a cap 6 the lower edge 60 of which has an annular projection internal 61 coming to hang under the edge of the end free 27 of the tabs 2 by snapping on the cap 1 on the flange 22 thus formed.
  • FIG. 9 shows three junction lines 26, 24, 25 V-shaped tongue 2 with the receptacle 1, which each have an angle respectively obtuse aperture a, b, c different depending on the inclination that we want to give to the tongues 2 in the state closed packaging of receptacle 1.
  • a tongue 2 is more tilted downwards only for angles b or c less open.
  • the collar 22 is formed of 2 'tabs similar in structure and in their shape to the previous 2 tabs, unlike that they occupy the hollows 12 of the upper edge 11 in teeth of receptacle 1 by extending back from the edges 16 on the other hand, the tongues 2 ′ have 20 'holes for snapping the lugs 60' of a 6 'closing cap.
  • the device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to produce various packaging such as jewel packaging for jewelry or perfumery but also packaging for sweets, sugared almonds, chocolates or packaging for bouquets of cut flowers and can also form in the latter case a disposable vase.
