Definitions
- Tamper-evident display packaging is Tamper-evident display packaging.
- the invention relates to a tamper-evident display packaging.
- a packaging suitable for hanging on the hook of a display unit and composed of an element made of thermoplastic material equipped with at least one transparent receptacle and open at the rear, with a closing element closing at least the opening of the receptacle, this element being constituted either by an element similar to the first, or by a planar element, suspension means and means for connecting the two elements.
- these packages are formed by a transparent shell, obtained by hot deformation of a sheet of thermoplastic material, and fixed by welding on a similar shell or on a cardboard.
- This type of packaging differs from that known as “in a blister” in which the sheet of thermoplastic material is deformed on a cardboard supporting the object to be packaged, so as to conform to the shapes of the object and to be fixed by adhesion to the cardboard. .
- An object of the invention is to provide display packaging allowing a manufacturer to ensure the packaging of his products, without the need for specific equipment or specialized personnel.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a tamper-evident display package that can accommodate different products and using simple, inexpensive, space-saving and reliable connection means.
- each of the two elements of the packaging is provided with a border, extending at least in the upper part and laterally, plane and parallel to the plane of assembly of the two elements, so as to come into contact with the one against the other and these edges are crossed, at least in their upper part, by perforations coming into coincidence, while the closure means comprise two cheeks of injected plastic, in the shape of a "U" whose branches match the shape of the upper part of the edges, respectively upper and lateral of the two elements which they enclose between them, the branches of one of the cheeks being crossed by perforations coming in coincidence with those of the edges of the elements, while the branches of the other cheek are provided with studs projecting perpendicularly to the plane of assembly of the two elements and capable of snap-fastening with the perforations of the other cheek, after having tr down the perforations of the borders of the two elements.
- This assembly operation can be carried out by people without any particular qualification.
- the locking of the two cheeks is non-removable and all the more resistant as the studs are made by injection in a plastic material offering a resistance greater than that constituting the elements of the packaging.
- the same cheeks can be used to bond packaging elements of the same dimension, but differentiated by the number and dimension of their receptacle.
- These packaging elements being chosen from a stock of preformed, perforated, stackable closing elements, of different models and standard closing elements, a manufacturer can very easily carry out the packaging of his products without investment of material and without recourse specialized personnel.
- the closure means also comprise complementary closure members capable of cooperating with additional perforations formed on the lower parts of the lateral edges of the two elements of the packaging, each member being composed of two plates, one of which is secured to a snap-on tenon and the other of which is pierced by a perforation and is capable of receiving and immobilizing the aforementioned tenon after it has passed the coincident perforations of two edges enclosed between the two platelets .
- These complementary closing members are added to the other closing means to guarantee the inviolability of a particularly long packaging.
- the cheeks have, above their parts cooperating with elements of the packaging, an opening forming a ring for the passage of a suspension hook.
- the ring also has the advantage of increasing the general dimension of the two cheeks and, consequently, of facilitating the gripping of these cheeks to ensure the closure of the two elements of the packaging.
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of this packaging
- Figures 2 and 3 are exploded perspective views showing, on an enlarged scale, an embodiment of the connecting means of the two elements of the 'packaging
- Figure 4 is a partial side view, in longitudinal section, through one of the branches of the two cheeks of the packaging at the end of assembly
- Figures 5 and 6 are perspective views showing other embodiments of means of connection
- FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 4 showing a display packaging using the connection means of FIGS. 5 and 6,
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the packaging,
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the packaging of FIG. 8 during the assembly of these elements.
- Figure 1 0 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the packaging according to the invention.
- the packaging according to the invention is composed of two elements A and B which are associated with closure means, themselves composed of two elements, namely two cheeks C and D, possibly associated with complementary means closing E and F.
- the two packaging elements A and B are identical. Each consists of a thermoformed plastic sheet and comprises a receptacle 2, of rectangular shape, surrounded by a flat edge 3. The latter comprises an upper part 3a and two lateral parts 3b.
- the elements A and B may comprise one or more receptacles superimposed or juxtaposed and be made of any conformable material such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, but also be made of cardboard or wood, and be transparent in whole or in part.
- Each element A can also be juxtaposed to a planar element formed, for example, by a cardboard, or a plastic panel, provided that this second element of the packaging comprises, at the periphery and at least in the upper part and laterally, flat edges and conceals the opening of the receptacle 2.
- FIG. 1 shows that each of the elements A and B is crossed, in its upper border 3a, by at least two perforations 4a and, in its lateral borders 3b, by at least one perforation 4b, formed in the upper part and a perforation 4c provided in the lower part.
- the connecting means of the two packaging elements A and B consist of two cheeks C and D, obtained by injection of plastic. These two cheeks have identical shapes, that is to say have the general shape of an inverted "U” comprising a core, respectively 5 and 6, and two branches respectively 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b.
- the cheek D is crossed, in its core 6 and in its branches 8a, 8b, by perforations respectively 10a, 10b, distributed so as to come into coincidence with the perforations 4a, 4b formed in the upper borders 3a and lateral 3b of the packaging elements to assemble.
- the cheek C it has instead of perforations 10a, 10b, pins 1 2a, 1 2b projecting perpendicular to its plane, that is to say perpendicular to the plane of assembly of the two elements A, B of packaging.
- Each of the pins 1 2a, 1 2b has a dimension allowing it to penetrate into the perforations 10a, 10b of the cheek D, but also to pass through the perforations 4a, 4b formed in the cheeks.
- latching means such as a bead, or a peripheral notch, capable of cooperating with complementary means provided in the perforations 1 0a, 10b, or directly with the external face of the cheek D.
- Figure 1 shows that, to ensure the assembly of the two packaging elements A and B, after having brought them together until their edges 3a, 3b come into contact, it suffices to engage the pins 1 2a, 1 2b of the cheek C through the perforations 4a, 4b of these edges, then apply cheek D on the packaging elements opposite cheek C, taking care to position these perforations 10a, 10b in the extension of the studs .
- the two cheeks C and D enclose between them, respectively, the upper edges 3a and the upper part of the edges 3b of the two elements A, B, ensuring their connection.
- Figures 1 and 2 show that the core 6 extends above its part participating in the connection of the two packaging elements A and B, so as to have an opening 9 forming a ring allowing the passage of the packaging as well carried out on a hanging hook.
- each complementary member is composed of two elements, an element E in the form of a plate crossed by a perforation 1 5, of the same dimension and shape as the perforations 1 0a, 10b formed in the cheek D, and an element F consisting of a plate which protrude tenons 1 6 each equipped with a bead or notch 1 7.
- FIG 1 shows that each stud 1 6 is intended to pass through the perforations 4c, formed in the lower part of the edges 3b, and to cooperate with the perforation 1 5 of the element E with which it clicks. It is obvious that the latching device is identical to that used between the cheeks C and D. These members E and F are also obtained by injection of plastic material.
- connection means are similar to those described in the previous embodiment and provide the same functions, as shown in FIG. 7.
- the two elements of the packaging composed of two elements with receptacle or of an element with receptacle or of an element in the form of a flat panel, can be connected to their part. lower by a veil of material forming a hinge, as shown in January 1 in Figure 7.
- the shape given to the upper part of the cheeks can be arranged for aesthetic purposes.
- the cheeks can, as shown in Figure 1 0, have, in side view, the general shape of a "C", to adapt to the packaging firm, case in which the side branches are in the extension of the soul.
- Figures 8 and 1 0 also show that the areas of the cheeks C and D crossed by the perforations or carrying the pins are reinforced by an extra thickness of material, so as to form bars 20, resistant and providing a good snap.
- Figures 8 and 9 show packaging elements comprising a receptacle overlay 2b, 2c, 2e which may contain different products or objects, but also, respectively, the objects to be conditioned, an explanatory note and the identification of the manufacturer or any other element.
