Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package of paper products. absorbent.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a package of stacked absorbent paper products.
  • Preferably rectangular paper products are made from a sheet which is folded and cut in order to make, for example, napkins or handkerchiefs in paper.
  • the paper products are then juxtaposed or stacked and then wrapped in a sheet of flexible material which may be a transparent plastic film.
  • the package or case of absorbent paper products has advantageously a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a large rectangular face whose width is less than the height.
  • an opening is made in a large face of the envelope which is substantially parallel to the plane of the paper products, so as to clear a gripping area at least one paper product to extract it individually from package.
  • the opening may consist of a movable flap around a axis which allows, in the open position, to clear the area of gripping.
  • Holding means such as an adhesive strip, fixed on the movable flap are necessary to keep it in position closed.
  • the means of support are not always sufficient to ensure a sealed closure of the package gripping area. It is frequent that the free edges of the movable flap are no longer in contact with the free edges of the opening, dust can then penetrate inside the package, and dirty paper products.
  • the holding means which generally include an adhesive strip can stick, for example on one of the paper products or on the user's fingers and thereby annoy product extraction.
  • the invention offers a package of stacked absorbent paper products, type which includes a sheet of flexible material, such as a plastic envelope sheet, which is shaped general parallelepiped defined by a height, a width and a thickness, and of the type which includes means opening to clear a grip area of at least minus a paper product to extract it individually from the envelope and of the type whose opening means include a flap which is movable between an open position which allows the clearing of the grip zone of at least one product in folded paper, and a closed position covering the area of gripping, and that is part of the envelope sheet delimited by a precut or a cut of the sheet envelope, characterized in that the precut or cut is arranged in a corner of the package and includes at least two sections which are interconnected and which each extend over a separate side of the package.
  • a sheet of flexible material such as a plastic envelope sheet, which is shaped general parallelepiped defined by a height, a width and a thickness
  • the type which includes means opening to clear a grip area of
  • Figures 1 and 2 each show a package 16 of paper products, here of handkerchiefs 18 of paper, according to the state of the technique.
  • the packet 16 of handkerchiefs 18 is shaped general rectangular parallelepiped. It consists of a envelope sheet 20 of flexible material, such as a sheet of plastic, and it has two front faces 22 and rear 24, and four lateral sides left 26, right 28, upper 30 and lower 32.
  • the envelope sheet 20 is made of a material usually flexible a thick polyethylene film between 20 and 50 microns.
  • the packet 16 of tissues 18 comprises, here on its face front front 22, opening means 34 which consist of a flap 36 which is precut along dotted lines 38.
  • Figure 1 shows the flap 36 in a position of closing.
  • Figure 2 shows the flap 36 in its open position.
  • the movable flap 36 is articulated around an axis 39 which, here is merged with an edge 41 common to the front end face 22 and to the top face 30.
  • the axis 39 is substantially parallel to the parallel planes containing folded tissues 18.
  • a request from the party lower 40 of the flap 36 towards the front and / or upwards of the package 16 makes it possible to separate it from the front face 22 according to the dotted line 38.
  • the flap 36 is then made movable between its position and an open position, allowing the clearing of a grip area of at least one handkerchief 18 in paper.
  • holding means 42 such an adhesive strip, are fixed on the lower part 40 of the movable flap 36.
  • the holding means 42 can be detached and glued several times on the front face 22 of envelope 20.
  • the packet 16 of rectangular handkerchiefs 18 is defined by a height H, a width L and a thickness E.
  • This type of means 34 for opening a packet 16 of handkerchiefs 18 has in particular the disadvantages described previously.
  • the invention proposes, in accordance with FIGS. 3 to 9, that the movable flap 36 either a part of the envelope sheet 20 which is delimited by a precut 72 of the envelope sheet 20 and which is arranged in an angle 74, here upper front right, of the package 16 handkerchiefs 18.
  • the precut 72 comprises three sections which extend each in a separate face of the envelope 20.
  • a first central or intermediate section 76 is produced in a first face, here the front face 22. It consists for example in an arc of a circle whose center corresponds substantially at the top of angle 74, i.e. at the point of competition of the three edges which delimit the angle 74 of the package 16, and which extends between two concurrent edges 41 and 78 which correspond to the two edges of the front face 22.
  • the dimensions of the arc of a circle are preferably close to those of the end of a user's thumb.
  • the second and third end sections 80 and 82 each extend on a second and third side, here on the upper side face 30 and right side face 28 respectively.
  • Each end section 80, 82 is a segment of straight line parallel to edge 84 which corresponds to the intersection of faces 28 and 30, and it extends over a reduced length equal to a few mm.
  • the user When using for the first time, as shown in Figure 4, the user holds the package 16, for example in his hand left 81 when it is right-handed, in a vertical position, the front face 22 facing it. Then he presses with a finger, which maybe thumb 83 of his right hand, on flap 36, so cutting the sections of the envelope 20 which are located between the orifices of the precut 72. Thus, the flap 36 is made mobile.
  • the opening of the packet 16 of tissues 18 can be carried out with one hand.
  • the extraction of the handkerchief 18 is carried out generally according to a diagonal from the front end face 22 of the package 16, and it is facilitated because the friction forces are distributed over the two handkerchief tees 18 which are adjacent to the grip area 86.
  • the movable flap 36 can also return by itself by closed position according to figure 6.
  • the return movement of the movable flap 36 towards its closed position results in particular from the elasticity of a part of the envelope 20 located in an area 88 between the two free ends of the second and third sections 80 and 82 respectively which tends to automatically return the shutter mobile 36 in the closed position.
  • Such a package 16 of tissues 18 allows the removal holding means 42 which reduces manufacturing costs.
  • the envelope 20 of the package 16 no longer consists of only one material.
  • the movable flap 36 allows closing at new from package 16 more airtight than according to condition technical. Indeed, the opening is narrower and the movable flap 36 is held in the closed position by the elastic effect of zone 88. The folded handkerchiefs 18 are then better protected and get less dirty.
  • the movable flap 36 being produced in a corner of the package 16, it allows, after the first use, to reduce the decrease rigidity of the package 16 due to its cutting.
  • the height H and the width L of the package 16 are equal, so that the front faces 22 and rear 24 are square.
  • the dimensions of the height H and the width L of the packet 16 of handkerchiefs 18 may however have a tolerance of plus or minus 4 millimeters for a standard deviation of around 2 mm.
  • the width L of the packet 16 of tissues 18 according to the invention is equal to the width L of the packets 16 according to the state of the art, i.e. at a value between 50 and 58 mm.
  • the height H of the package 16 according to the invention is less than the height H of the packages 16 produced according to the state of the technical.
  • the dimensions of the package 16 according to the invention are reduced compared to packs of 16 handkerchiefs 18 types known.
  • the front 22 and rear 24 front faces being square, the manufacturing the package 16 is facilitated since the precut 72 can be carried out indifferently in one of the eight corners of the one of the front faces 22 and 24.
  • the packaging process is also simplified because it is not necessary to orient the sides of the folded tissues 18 relative to at width L or height H of package 16.
  • the package 16 according to the invention is discreet and reduces bulk, e.g. pockets and handbags in which it can be carried.
  • the parallelepiped format with front faces 22 and 24 square of the package 16 increases its rigidity. So it is more rigid and retains its shape when subjected to stresses, especially when it is in the pants pocket or in a handbag.
  • the first section 76 may have a different shape, such that a line segment, according to figure 8, which can be perpendicular to a plane passing through the edge common to second and third faces and passing through the bisector of the angle formed by the other two edges.
  • the precut 72 can have two sections 92, 94 which are interconnected and which each extend on a separate face 22, 28 of the packet 16, according to figure 9.
  • the two sections 92 and 94 are two straight segments which are, here, made on the front face 22 between the edges 41 and 78, and on the right lateral face 28 between the edges 78 and 84 respectively near the upper right front corner 74 of the package 16.
  • the movable flap 36 pivots around an axis 96 located in the upper lateral face 30 and passing through the point of competition for precut 72 and edges 41 and 84.
  • the triangles defined by the precut 72 and the edges 41, 78 and 84 of the package 16 are equilateral.
  • the grip area 86 then has the shape of a pyramid equilateral, that is to say that its four faces are equal. So, the gripping area 86 gives off a pyramidal area of the stack of tissues 18.
  • the two sections 92 and 94 can also be two arcs of circle whose dimensions are for example close to those from the end of the user's thumb.
  • the movable flap 36 is not kept in the closed position, it is then advantageous to fix holding means 42 therein such as tape or an adhesive patch.
