Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of packaging and it relates more particularly to packaging cases which are intended for pack unitary products, either by themselves or by preconditioning imposed on them.
  • the invention relates more specifically to packaging cases which are made from a blank of pre-cut raw material which is then mounted by folding to form the actual packaging.
  • the invention relates to packaging cases made from a cardboard blank, preferably compact, without this precision excludes corrugated cardboard or similar products such as material sheets plastic laminated or not.
  • the design of these blanks can be retained so that the case body has a shape the more generally parallelepipedic without excluding the case bodies from different shape such as in a pentagonal or hexagonal cross section, even octagonal.
  • Packaging cases of the above type can be considered giving satisfaction for the primary function which is conditioning or over-conditioning, or even presentation if one of the constituent faces of the envelope have one or more windows intended to allow a visual appreciation of the content product.
  • a utility model DE 94 19 312 has proposed a case of packaging made from a pre-cut blank and mounted by folding, for have a peripheral envelope with hinged panels intended to form a case body, top panel and bottom panel.
  • two articulated panels delimiting the case body, include, on one side helping to delimit the bottom of the case body, a folding extension intended to form a false bottom in the case body.
  • Each folding extension includes, then, a series of three articulated bands, respectively adjacent, median and extreme, extended by a strip of counter-fixing on the internal wall of the panel bearing the extension.
  • the foldable bottom extensions thus formed are intended to be folded inside the case body, before closing the panel below, to form an internal support structure for a product placed in the body of the case.
  • a case thus constituted then makes it possible to keep the contents of the case at a distance bottom to protect it from shocks in case the case falls.
  • the layout of a false bottom in the case by the bottom extensions makes it possible to condition the produced in a case having an external volume very much greater than that of the product to be packaged.
  • the invention relates to a packaging case automatable, of the type produced from a pre-cut blank and mounted by folding to have a peripheral envelope with hinged panels intended to form a case body, top panel and bottom panel, at least one of articulated panels comprising, on one side contributing to delimit the bottom of the body case, an extension, called bottom, foldable, counter-fixed on the internal face of the panel, divided by substantially parallel fold lines into hinged strips foldable inside the case body to form an internal support structure for a product placed in the case body.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective of a preferred embodiment of a packaging case according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view corresponding to the developed flat state of the precut blank making it possible to obtain the case illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section along the plane III-III of FIG. 1 showing the case illustrated on the latter in the closed position.
  • Fig. 4 is a view, similar to FIG. 2 , showing a precut blank intended to form a case according to the invention, according to an alternative embodiment different from that illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 .
  • Fig. 5 is a section, similar to FIG. 3 , the case obtained from the blank illustrated in FIG. 4 .
  • Fig. 6 is a plan view of a precut blank intended to form a case according to another alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 7 is a section, similar to FIG. 3 , of the case made from the precut blank illustrated in FIG. 6 .
  • the packaging case as illustrated in a semi-constituted state by FIG. 1, is obtained from a blank pre-cut flat, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • a blank can be produced from compact cartons, corrugated cartons or, again, from suitable plastic sheets.
  • the nature of the material constituting the blank is not characteristic of the invention.
  • the blank generally designated by the reference 1 , comprises four hinged panels 2, 3, 4, 5 which are intended to define a peripheral envelope of generally parallelepiped shape, as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • peripheral envelope E is to constitute a case body, that is to say, within the meaning of the concept of packaging, a container.
  • the invention could find an identical application with a peripheral envelope E having a different shape and, for example, having a pentagonal, hexagonal, or even octagonal section and, in such a case, the number of articulated panels would then be chosen in correspondence with the number sides of the cross section of the envelope.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the panels 2, 3, 4 and 5 extend one after the other, being each delimited, with respect to the next, by means of fold lines 6, 7 and 8 which are parallel to each other and perpendicular the alignment of hinged panels 2 to 5 .
  • the articulated panel 5 is provided, beyond a fold line 9 , with a connecting strip 10 with the panel 2 , such a connection being able to intervene in several different ways and preferably by gluing.
  • the panels 2 and 4 are bordered, beyond fold lines 11 and 12 respectively parallel to each other and perpendicular to the lines 6 , 7 and 8 , respectively, of a top panel 13 and of a panel 14 .
  • These panels 13 and 14 have in plan a shape corresponding to the cross section of the peripheral envelope E , that is to say in the present case rectangular and are each provided beyond a fold line 15 or 16 parallel to lines 11 and 12 , with a flap 17 or 18 .
  • Each bottom extension 20 extends from a fold line 21 which is perpendicular to the fold lines 6, 7, 8 and 9 and which corresponds to the side of the articulated panel contributing to delimit the bottom of the case body.
  • Each bottom extension 20 comprises, from the fold line 21 separating it from the articulated panel carrying it, a series of articulated bands separated from each other by fold lines substantially parallel to each other and to the fold line 21 .
  • each bottom extension 20 comprises, successively, a first articulated strip 22 adjacent to the articulated panel, respectively 3 and 5 .
  • the bottom extension 20 then comprises at least three and, according to the example illustrated, exactly three median bands 23, 24 and 25 , the first median band of which is separated from the adjacent band 22 by a fold line 26 parallel to the fold line 21 .
  • the three median bands, 23 to 25 are delimited between them by fold and counter-fold lines 27 and 28 parallel to the line 26 .
  • the last central strip 25 is extended, beyond a fold line 29 parallel to the lines 26 to 28 , by an end strip 30 which comprises, opposite the last central strip 25 and beyond a fold line 31 parallel to lines 21, 26, 27, 28 and 29 a counter-fixing strip 32 .
  • the articulated panels 3 and 5 each have, opposite the extension from below and at a side delimiting the top of the case, an extension, called from above 40 , intended to form an internal wedging structure, as will become apparent below.
  • Each top extension 40 extends from a fold line 41 , parallel to the fold line 21 , and is divided by fold lines 42, 43 and 44 , parallel to each other and to the fold line 41 in articulated bands.
  • each extension 40 comprises, successively and from the hinged panel 3 or 5 carrying it, a first band 45 , adjacent to said hinged panel, then at least one middle band 46 and an end band 47 extended, opposite the articulated middle band 46 and beyond the fold line 44 by a counter-fixing band 48 .
  • the shape of the precut blank, thus formed after marking the fold lines in order to obtain the case, as illustrated in the closed position in FIG. 3 , is carried out in the following manner.
  • the bottom extensions 20 are formed by folding the first median strip 23 against the internal face of the adjacent strip 22 , then folding and counter-fixing, preferably by gluing, the intermediate median strip 24 against the first middle strip 23 and, then, by fixing the last middle strip 25 against the strip 24 .
  • This counter-fixing, one after the other, of the strips 23, 24 and 25 makes it possible to obtain a support rib 50 formed by a triple thickness of the material constituting the blank 1 , as shown in FIG. 3 more particularly.
  • the extreme articulated band 30 is folded towards the internal face of the articulated panel 3 or 5 , in order to counter-fix the articulated fixing band 32 on this internal face.
  • the two top extensions 40 are then folded down and counter-fixed on the internal faces of the panels 3 and 5 .
  • This operation is carried out by folding the articulated band 46 towards the band 45 , then the articulated band 47 towards the internal face of the articulated panel 3 or 5 , in order to fix there, preferably but not exclusively by gluing, the counter band. fixing 48 .
  • the assembly of the case is finally completed by fixing the connecting strip 10 on the internal face of the articulated panel 2.
  • the latter can be stored flat to then be taken care of, for example by an automatic shaping and filling machine.
  • This shaping may, for example, be effected by ensuring closure of the bottom of the case by bringing the extensions below 20 inwardly of the case body in the direction of the arrows F1, and then closing the panel below 14 .
  • the case is closed at its underside and the extensions 20 form an internal support structure for a product, preferably but not exclusively, preconditioned unit, as illustrated in phantom in FIG. 3 .
  • the adjacent articulated bands 22 are preferably supported on the bottom of the case constituted by the bottom panel 14 and the extreme articulated bands 30 provide a support surface for the product P.
  • the articulated bands 45 are preferably, but not exclusively, supported on the top panel, while the extreme articulated bands 47 provide wedging surfaces for the product P.
  • the case according to the invention makes it very advantageous to offer a confinement space between the internal wedging support structures formed by the bottom 20 and top 40 extensions for the product P packaged inside. from the case.
  • the ribs 50 ensure that the weight of the product P is particularly resistant, taking into account the triple thickness of said ribs 50 .
  • the product P packaged inside the case in accordance with the invention, is perfectly protected, in particular in the event of the case and its contents falling.
  • the internal support and wedging structures formed by the bottom 20 and top 40 extensions contribute to defining, inside the case, a confinement volume of the product to be conditioned lower than the total volume from the case.
  • a window 51 is arranged in the articulated panels 3 to 5 contributing to delimit the peripheral envelope E of the case.
  • the articulated panel 4 has, opposite the bottom panel 14 , a flap 55 extending beyond a fold line 56 parallel to the fold line 12.
  • the flap 55 is , in addition, extended beyond a fold line 57 parallel to the line 56 by a reinforcement panel 58 intended to be laminated to the internal face of the flap 55 .
  • the implementation of such a reinforced flap is not strictly necessary for the constitution of a case according to the invention, but allows, however, to strengthen the structure. It should be noted that, in the case of the implementation of the reinforced flap 55 , the latter must be folded against the internal face of the articulated panel 4 , before folding the top extensions 40 inside the case.
  • the top extensions have only one central articulated band 46 .
  • the top extensions have a conformation substantially similar to that of the bottom extensions.
  • fig. 6 shows an example of a blank pre-cut flat, in which the top extensions 40 each have three articulated median strips intended to be laminated together, in order also to define support and wedging ribs, as is the case for the bottom extensions more particularly illustrated in FIG. 7. It should be noted that, according to fig. 6, the articulated panel 4 does not have, opposite the bottom panel 14, a flap.
  • each bottom extension 20 comprises three articulated median strips intended to be laminated with each other, so as to define a recovery rib 50 having a triple thickness of the material constituting the blank 1.
  • each extension or one of the two bottom extensions 1 comprises more than three median strips 23 to 25, in order to define a recovery rib 50 formed by the assembly of more than three thicknesses of materials. of the blank 1.
  • each bottom extension 1 then has an odd number of median strips separated by fold and counter-fold lines which allow an accordion fold of the median strips to assemble them together and allows the extension 20 to be folded down to come the counter-fix on the internal face of the articulated panel carrying it, so that, in the closed position, the end band is placed towards the inside of the case, while the adjacent band 22 is placed towards the bottom panel 14 .
  • a similar constitution is also possible for extensions of over 40.
  • the case comprises two bottom extensions and two top extensions.
  • the case comprise only a single bottom extension 20 and no top extension 40 or, again, a single bottom extension 20 and a single top extension 40 or any other combination involving at least one bottom extension 20 .
