Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative à un emballage présentoir inviolable.The invention relates to a tamper-evident display packaging.
Pour faciliter l'offre en vente de produits et objets divers, il est connu de les disposer dans un conditionnement apte à être suspendu au crochet d'un présentoir et composé d'un élément en matière thermoplastique équipé d'au moins un réceptacle transparent et ouvert sur l'arrière, d'un élément de fermeture obturant au moins l'ouverture du réceptacle, cet élément étant constitué soit par un élément similaire au premier, soit par un élément plan, de moyens de suspension et de moyens de liaison des deux éléments.To facilitate the offer for sale of various products and objects, it is known to have them in 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.
En pratique, ces conditionnements sont formés par une coque transparente, obtenue par déformation à chaud d'une feuille en matière thermoplastique, et fixée par soudure sur une coque similaire ou sur une cartonnette.In practice, 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.
Ce type de conditionnement se différencie de celui dit «sous blister » dans lequel la feuille de matière thermoplastique est déformée sur une cartonnette supportant l'objet à conditionner, de manière à épouser les formes de l'objet et être fixée par adhérence à la cartonnette.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.
Lorsqu'un fabricant utilise un emballage de présentoir avec coque préformée, soit il dispose d'un matériel de soudage, ce qui nécessite un investissement et du personnel spécialisé, donc coûteux, soit il fait exécuter la mise en conditionnement par une entreprise extérieure, ce qui impose des opérations de contrôle du nombre de pièces transmises, au départ et au retour, et des opérations de contrôle de la qualité du travail effectué au retour.When a manufacturer uses display packaging with preformed shell, or it has welding equipment, which requires an investment and specialized personnel, therefore expensive, either it makes perform packaging by an outside company, which imposes operations to control the number of documents transmitted to the departure and return, and work quality control operations made on return.
Un objet de l'invention est de fournir un emballage présentoir permettant à un fabricant d'assurer le conditionnement de ses produits, sans avoir besoin de matériel spécifique, ni de personnel spécialisé.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.
On connaít déjà par la demande internationale WO83/00133 et par la demande de brevet français 2 694 541 des conditionnements composés de deux éléments, dont au moins l'un est en forme de coque transparente et dont la liaison avec l'autre élément est assurée par encliquetage de tenons formés dans la coque avec un moyen complémentaire ménagé dans l'autre élément.We already know by international application WO83 / 00133 and by French patent application 2,694,541 of the packaging composed of two elements, at least one of which is shell-shaped transparent and whose connection with the other element is ensured by latching of pins formed in the shell with a means complementary in the other element.
En raison de leur conformation dans la matière constitutive de la coque, c'est-à-dire dans une feuille transparente thermoformable de faible épaisseur, les tenons assurent une liaison insuffisante et ne garantissent pas l'inviolabilité du conditionnement.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.
On connaít également, par la demande de brevet français
2 608 564, un conditionnement dont la liaison des deux éléments en forme
de coque préformée est assurée au moyen d'un dispositif composé de deux
parties s'encliquetant ou se vissant, à savoir un plot avec une tige, et un
plot avec un puits recevant la tige. Ces moyens assurent une liaison dite
inviolable mais sont encombrants et nécessitent de prévoir, au moins dans
l'une des coques, des déformations d'appui et de protection disposées
selon la forme du produit à emballer.We also know, by the
Un autre objet de l'invention est de fournir un emballage présentoir inviolable pouvant accueillir des produits différents et utilisant des moyens de liaison simples, peu onéreux, peu encombrants et fiables.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.
A cet effet, chacun des deux éléments de l'emballage est muni d'une bordure, s'étendant au moins en partie supérieure et latéralement, plane et parallèle au plan d'assemblage des deux éléments, de manière à venir en contact l'une contre l'autre et ces bordures sont traversées, au moins dans leur partie supérieure, par des perforations venant en coïncidence, tandis que les moyens de liaison comprennent deux joues en matière plastique injectée, en forme de « U » dont les branches épousent la forme de la partie supérieure des bordures, respectivement supérieure et latérales des deux éléments qu'elles enserrent entre elles, les branches de l'une des joues étant traversées par des perforations venant en coïncidence avec celles des bordures des éléments, alors que les branches de l'autre joue sont munies de tenons saillant perpendiculairement au plan d'assemblage des deux éléments et aptes à s'encliqueter avec les perforations de l'autre joue, après avoir traversé les perforations des bordures des deux éléments.For this purpose, 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.
Pour conditionner un objet quelconque au moyen de cet emballage présentoir, il suffit donc de sélectionner, dans un stock d'éléments en matière synthétique, ceux comportant le ou les réceptacles correspondant au produit à conditionner, puis, après mise en place du produit dans chaque réceptacle, d'associer à l'élément, un élément complémentaire identique ou constitué par un panneau plan et d'assurer la liaison des deux éléments par les deux joues, en prenant soin que les tenons de l'une des joues traversent les perforations de bordures des éléments et les perforations de l'autre joue, jusqu'à encliquetage.To condition 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.
Cette opération d'assemblage peut être effectuée par des personnes sans qualification particulière.This assembly operation can be carried out by people without special qualifications.
L'encliquetage des deux joues est indémontable et d'autant plus résistant que les tenons sont réalisés par injection dans une matière plastique offrant une résistance supérieure à celle constituant les éléments de l'emballage.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.
Les mêmes joues peuvent être utilisées pour assurer la liaison d'éléments d'emballage de même dimension, mais se différenciant par le nombre et la dimension de leur réceptacle. Ces éléments d'emballage étant choisis parmi un stock d'éléments de fermeture préformés, perforés, empilables, de différents modèles et d'éléments de fermeture standard, un fabricant peut très aisément réaliser le conditionnement de ses produits sans investissement de matériel et sans recours à un personnel spécialisé.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.
Dans une forme d'exécution de l'invention, les moyens de liaison comprennent aussi des organes complémentaires de liaison aptes à coopérer avec des perforations supplémentaires ménagées sur les parties inférieures des bordures latérales des deux éléments de l'emballage, chaque organe étant composé de deux plaquettes dont l'une est solidaire d'un tenon encliquetable et dont l'autre est traversée par une perforation et est apte à accueillir et immobiliser le tenon précité après qu'il ait traversé les perforations coïncidentes de deux bordures enserrées entre les deux plaquettes.In one embodiment of the invention, 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.
Ces organes complémentaires de liaison s'ajoutent aux autres moyens de liaison pour garantir l'inviolabilité d'un conditionnement particulièrement long.These complementary liaison bodies are added to the other means of liaison to guarantee the inviolability of a particularly long conditioning.
Avantageusement, les joues comportent, au-dessus de leurs parties coopérant avec des éléments de l'emballage, une ouverture formant anneau pour le passage d'un crochet de suspension.Advantageously, the cheeks have, above their parts cooperating with elements of the package, an opening forming ring for the passage of a hanging hook.
L'anneau présente également l'avantage d'augmenter la dimension générale des deux joues et, en conséquence, de faciliter la préhension de ces joues pour assurer la fermeture des deux éléments de l'emballage.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.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples, plusieurs formes d'exécution de l'emballage selon l'invention.Other features and advantages will emerge from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings representing, by way of example, several embodiments of the packaging according to the invention.

Figure 10 est une vue en perspective montrant une autre forme d'exécution de l'emballage selon l'invention.Figure 10 is a perspective view showing another shape of execution of the packaging according to the invention.
De manière générale, l'emballage selon l'invention est composé de deux éléments A et B qui sont associés à des moyens de liaison, eux-mêmes composés de deux éléments, à savoir deux joues C et D, éventuellement associés à des moyens complémentaires de liaison E et F.In general, 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.
Dans la forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 1 à 4, les
deux éléments d'emballage A et B sont identiques. Chacun est constitué
par une feuille en matière plastique thermoformée et comporte un
réceptacle 2, de forme rectangulaire, ceinturé par une bordure plane 3.
Cette dernière comprend une partie supérieure 3a et deux parties latérales
3b.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, the
two packaging elements A and B are identical. Each is made up
by a thermoformed plastic sheet and has a
Les éléments A et B peuvent comporter un ou plusieurs réceptacles superposés ou juxtaposés et être réalisés en tout matériau conformable tel que polychlorure de vinyle, polyéthylène, polypropylène, mais aussi être en carton ou bois, et être transparents en totalité ou en partie. 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.
Chaque élément A peut également être juxtaposé à un élément
plan formé, par exemple, par une cartonnette, ou un panneau en matière
plastique, pourvu que ce deuxième élément de l'emballage comporte, en
périphérie et au moins en partie supérieure et latéralement, des bordures
planes et assure l'occultation de l'ouverture du réceptacle 2.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
La figure 1 montre que chacun des éléments A et B est traversé, dans sa bordure supérieure 3a, par au moins deux perforations 4a et, dans ses bordures latérales 3b, par au moins une perforation 4b, ménagée en partie supérieure et une perforation 4c ménagée en partie inférieure.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.
Comme montré plus en détails à la figure 2, les moyens de
liaison des deux éléments d'emballage A et B sont constitués par deux
joues C et D, obtenues par injection de matière plastique. Ces deux joues
ont des formes identiques, c'est-à-dire présentent la forme générale d'un
« U » retourné comportant une âme, respectivement 5 et 6, et deux
branches respectivement 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b. La joue D est traversée, dans son
âme 6 et dans ses branches 8a, 8b, par des perforations respectivement
10a, 10b, réparties de manière à venir en coïncidence avec les perforations
4a, 4b ménagées dans les bordures supérieures 3a et latérales 3b des
éléments d'emballage à assembler. Quant à la joue C, elle comporte à la
place des perforations 10a, 10b, des tenons 12a, 12b saillant
perpendiculairement à son plan, c'est-à-dire perpendiculairement au plan
d'assemblage des deux éléments A, B de l'emballage. Chacun des tenons
12a, 12b a une dimension lui permettant de pénétrer dans les perforations
10a, 10b de la joue D, mais également de traverser les perforations 4a, 4b
ménagées dans les joues. En outre, il est muni de moyens d'encliquetage,
tels qu'un bourrelet, ou un cran périphérique, aptes à coopérer avec des
moyens complémentaires ménagés dans les perforations 10a, 10b, ou
directement avec la face externe de la joue D.As shown in more detail in Figure 2, 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
La figure 1 montre que, pour assurer l'assemblage des deux
éléments d'emballage A et B, après les avoir rapprochés jusqu'au contact
de leurs bordures 3a, 3b, il suffit d'engager les tenons 12a, 12b de la joue
C à travers les perforations 4a, 4b de ces bordures, puis d'appliquer la joue
D sur les éléments d'emballage à l'opposé de la joue C, en prenant soin de
positionner ces perforations 10a, 10b dans le prolongement des tenons. A
la fin de l'opération d'encliquetage, et comme montré à la figure 4, les
deux joues C et D enserrent entre elles, respectivement, les bordures
supérieures 3a et la partie supérieure des bordures 3b des deux éléments
A, B, en assurant leur liaison.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
Les figures 1 et 2 montrent que l'âme 6 s'étend au-dessus de
sa partie participant à la liaison des deux éléments d'emballage A et B, de
manière à présenter une ouverture 9 formant un anneau permettant le
passage du conditionnement ainsi réalisé sur un crochet de suspension.Figures 1 and 2 show that the
Lorsque l'emballage est particulièrement haut, et que ses
bordures latérales 3b peuvent être écartées en partie inférieure pour
permettre d'accéder au contenu du réceptacle, les moyens de liaison
sont complétés par les organes complémentaires de liaison, montrés plus en détails à
la figure 3. Chaque organe complémentaire est composé de deux éléments,
un élément E en forme de plaquette traversée par une perforation 15, de
même dimension et forme que les perforations 10a, 10b ménagées dans la
joue D, et un élément F constitué par une plaquette de laquelle font saillies
des tenons 16 équipés chacun d'un bourrelet ou cran 17.When the packaging is particularly high, and its
side edges 3b can be separated at the bottom to
provide access to the contents of the receptacle, the connecting means
are supplemented by the complementary connecting members, shown in more detail at
FIG. 3. Each complementary organ is composed of two elements,

les perforations 4c, ménagées en partie inférieure des bordures 3b, et à
coopérer avec la perforation 15 de l'élément E avec lequel il s'encliquète. Il
est évident que le dispositif d'encliquetage est identique à celui utilisé entre
les joues C et D. Ces organes E et F sont également obtenus par injection
de matière plastique.Figure 1 shows that each
Pour faciliter la manipulation des moyens de liaison et éviter leur imperdabilité, dans une autre forme d'exécution montrée aux figures 5 à 7, les deux joues C et D des moyens de liaison, de même que les deux éléments E et F des organes complémentaires de liaison, sont reliés l'un à l'autre par un voile de matière respectivement 18, 19 formant charnières. Hors cette différence de détails, les moyens de liaison sont similaires à ceux décrits dans la forme d'exécution précédente et assurent les mêmes fonctions, comme montré à la figure 7.To facilitate handling of the connection means and avoid their captivity, 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.

Comme montré aux figures 8 et 9, la forme donnée à la partie supérieure des joues peut être aménagée dans un but esthétique. De même, les joues peuvent, comme montré à la figure 10, présenter, en vue de côté, la forme générale d'un «C », pour s'adapter à la forme du conditionnement, cas dans lequel les branches latérales sont dans le prolongement de l'âme.As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the shape given to the part upper cheeks can be fitted for aesthetic purposes. Of even, 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.
Les figures 8 et 10 montrent également que les zones des joues
C et D traversées par les perforations ou portant les pions sont renforcées
par une surépaisseur de matière, de manière à former des barrettes 20,
résistantes et procurant un bon encliquetage.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
Les figures 8 et 9 montrent des éléments d'emballage comportant une superposition de réceptacle 2b, 2c, 2e pouvant contenir des produits ou objets différents, mais aussi, respectivement, les objets devant être conditionnés, une notice explicative et l'identification du fabricant ou tout autre élément.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.
