Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tamper-evident display packaging.
  • a packaging suitable for hanging on hook of a display and composed of a material element thermoplastic fitted with at least one transparent receptacle open on the rear, with a closure element closing at least the opening of the receptacle, this element being constituted either by an element similar to the first, either by a planar element, of suspension means and means of the two elements.
  • these packages are formed by a shell transparent, obtained by hot deformation of a sheet of material thermoplastic, and fixed by welding on a similar shell or on a linerboard.
  • This type of conditioning differs from that known as “under blister” in which the sheet of thermoplastic material is deformed on a cardboard supporting the object to be packaged, so as to marry the forms of the object and 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 its products, without the need for specific equipment or specialized personnel.
  • the pins Due to their conformation in the material of which the shell, that is to say in a transparent thermoformable sheet of low thickness, the pins ensure insufficient bonding and do not guarantee not the inviolability of the packaging.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide packaging tamper-evident display that can accommodate different products and uses simple, inexpensive, space-saving and reliable connection means.
  • each of the two elements of the packaging is provided a border, extending at least in the upper part and laterally, plane and parallel to the assembly plane of the two elements, so as to come into contact with each other and these edges are crossed, at less in their upper part, by perforations coming in coincidence, while the connecting means comprise two cheeks made of injected plastic, U-shaped with branches conform to the shape of the upper part of the borders, respectively upper and side of the two elements that they enclose between them, the branches of one of the cheeks being crossed by perforations coming in coincidence with those of the element borders, while the branches on the other cheek are provided with studs projecting perpendicular to the plane assembly of the two elements and capable of snap-fastening with the perforations of the other cheek, after having crossed the perforations of the borders of the two elements.
  • any object using this display packaging so just select from a stock of synthetic material, those comprising the receptacle (s) corresponding to the product to be packaged, then, after placing the product in each receptacle, to associate with the element, an element identical or consisting of a flat panel and ensuring the connection of the two elements by the two cheeks, taking care that the one of the cheeks sticks through the border perforations of the elements and perforations on the other cheek, until they click into place.
  • This assembly operation can be carried out by people without special qualifications.
  • the snap of the two cheeks is non-removable and all the more resistant as the pins are made by injection into a material plastic offering greater resistance than that constituting the elements of the packaging.
  • Same cheeks can be used to bond packaging elements of the same size, but differentiated by the number and size of their receptacle.
  • These packaging elements being chosen from a stock of preformed, perforated closing elements, stackable, different models and standard locking elements, one manufacturer can very easily pack their products without investment of material and without recourse to specialized personnel.
  • the means of liaison also include complementary liaison bodies able to cooperate with additional perforations provided on the lower parts of the side edges of the two elements of the packaging, each organ being composed of two plates, one of which is integral of a snap-on stud and the other of which is pierced by a perforation and is able to receive and immobilize the aforementioned post after it has crossed the coincident perforations of two borders enclosed between the two platelets.
  • the cheeks have, above their parts cooperating with elements of the package, an opening forming ring for the passage of a hanging hook.
  • the ring also has the advantage of increasing the general dimension of the two cheeks and, consequently, to facilitate the gripping of these cheeks to ensure the closure of the two elements of packaging.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a first form of execution of this packaging
  • Figures 2 and 3 are exploded perspective views showing, at enlarged scale, an embodiment of the means of connecting the two packaging elements
  • FIG. 4 is a partial side view, in longitudinal section, by one of the branches of the two cheeks of the packaging at the end of assembly,
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are perspective views showing other forms of execution of the connecting means
  • Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 4 showing a display packaging using the connection means of Figures 5 and 6,
  • Figure 8 is a perspective view of another form packaging execution
  • Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the packaging of FIG. 8 during the assembly of these elements.
  • Figure 10 is a perspective view showing another shape of execution 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 connecting means, themselves composed of two elements, namely two cheeks C and D, possibly associated with complementary means of connection E and F.
  • the two packaging elements A and B are identical. Each is made up by a thermoformed plastic sheet and has a receptacle 2, rectangular, surrounded by a flat border 3. The latter comprises an upper part 3a and two lateral parts 3b.
  • Elements A and B can have one or more receptacles superimposed or juxtaposed and be made of any material conformable 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 with an element plan formed, for example, by a cardboard, or a material panel plastic, provided that this second element of the packaging comprises, in periphery and at least in the upper part and laterally, borders flat and ensures the concealment of the opening of the receptacle 2.
  • Figure 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 edges 3b, by at least one perforation 4b, formed in the upper part and a perforation 4c formed in the part lower.
  • the means of connection of the two packaging elements A and B consist of two cheeks C and D, obtained by injection of plastic material. These two cheeks have identical shapes, i.e. have the general shape of a "U" returned with 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 coincide with the perforations 4a, 4b formed in the upper 3a and lateral 3b edges of the packaging elements to assemble.
  • cheek C it includes places perforations 10a, 10b, protruding studs 12a, 12b perpendicular to its plane, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of assembly of the two elements A, B of the packaging.
  • Each of the tenons 12a, 12b has a dimension allowing it to penetrate into the perforations 10a, 10b of cheek D, but also of crossing the perforations 4a, 4b spared in the cheeks.
  • latching means such as a bead, or a peripheral notch, capable of cooperating with complementary means provided in the perforations 10a, 10b, or directly with the outside of cheek D.
  • Figure 1 shows that, to ensure the assembly of the two packaging elements A and B, after bringing them together until contact of their edges 3a, 3b, it suffices to engage the pins 12a, 12b of the cheek C through the perforations 4a, 4b of these borders, then apply the cheek D on the packaging elements opposite the cheek C, taking care to position these perforations 10a, 10b in the extension of the tenons.
  • the two cheeks C and D enclose between them, respectively, the borders upper 3a and the upper part of the borders 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 present an opening 9 forming a ring allowing the passage of the packaging thus produced on a hanging hook.
  • each complementary organ is composed of two elements, an element E in the form of a plate crossed by a perforation 15, same size and shape as the perforations 10a, 10b formed in the cheek D, and an element F consisting of a plate from which protrude tenons 16 each equipped with a bead or notch 17.
  • FIG 1 shows that each stud 16 is intended to pass through the perforations 4c, formed in the lower part of the edges 3b, and at cooperate with the perforation 15 of the element E with which it engages. he it is obvious that the latching device is identical to that used between cheeks C and D. These organs E and F are also obtained by injection of plastic.
  • connection means In another embodiment shown in Figures 5 at 7, the two cheeks C and D of the connecting means, as well as the two elements E and F of the complementary connecting members, are connected one to the other by a web of material respectively 18, 19 forming hinges. Except for this difference in details, the means of connection are similar to those described in the previous embodiment and provide the same functions, as shown in Figure 7.
  • the two elements of the packaging composed of two elements with receptacle or element with receptacle or element in the form of a flat panel, can be connected to their lower part by a veil of material forming a hinge, as shown in 11 in FIG. 7.
  • the shape given to the part upper cheeks can be fitted for aesthetic purposes.
  • the cheeks can, as shown in Figure 10, present, in view aside, the general shape of a "C”, to adapt to the shape of the packaging, case in which the lateral branches are in the extension of the soul.
  • Figures 8 and 10 also show that the cheek areas 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 can contain different products or objects, but also, respectively, the objects to be packaged, an explanatory note and the identification of the manufacturer or any other item.
