  • the present invention also relates to a pallet box device, especially obtained after assembly of the various elements constituting such a kit, and defined, on the one hand, by a box, especially of cardboard or the like, having side walls and a bottom, and, on the other hand, by a pallet on top which is disposed said box.
  • This invention relates to the field of manufacturing large-capacity packaging intended for transport by suitable lifting means, these packages being in the form of kit elements which must be ensured mounting.
  • such a crate is generally foldable in nature and is usually stored in folded form pending to be unfolded and positioned on a pallet, especially in view of its filling.
  • a first solution consists in exerting an action on said pallet for dragging and / or pushing said device to its place of filling or temporary storage. Such an action requires an operator to bend down and adopt a uncomfortable, tiring position, unsuitable for providing significant effort and, above all, likely to cause injury.
  • pallet boxes are generally delivered in kit form the user. The latter then ensures the mounting of this device before filling the box and shipping it. Arrival at destination, said box is emptied and the system is generally redirected to its recipient for a new one filling. It is obvious that the fixing of such a box on said pallet makes such a device unsuitable for use as packaging for commuting between a supplier and a customer.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the disadvantages of the prior art devices.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device for pallet box delivered as a kit, in particular individually, and occupying a minimum volume.

  • Another advantage is that such a device can be delivered individually and no longer requires delivery, independently, of a batch of pallets, a batch of cases, or even still a lot of covers for such cases.
  • the present invention relates to the field of manufacturing packaging to contain and transport goods.
  • such packaging consists of a pallet box device 1 which, as its name suggests, is defined, on the one hand, by a body 2 comprising side walls 3, 3 'and a bottom 4, a such box 2 can be completed by a cover 5, in particular of removable type.
  • Such a box 2 is, in particular and at least in part, defined of cardboard or the like, and is generally present in a at least partially folded shape that should be unfolded to constitute a box 2 capable of containing goods.
  • Such a pallet box device 1 is defined, on the other hand, by a pallet 6 over which is placed said box 2.
  • this box 2 comprises a first element 7 foldable at the level of which are defined, on the one hand, said side walls 3, 3 'of the body 2 and, on the other hand, flaps 8, 8 'extending said side walls 3, 3'.
  • flaps 8, 8 ' are designed suitable, in the unfolded position of the body 2 and said first element 7, to be folded inwards of this first element 7 so as to define a frame 9 intended to rest on the pallet 6.
  • Such a first element 7 is, generally, made of cardboard or similar and can be defined as a single part or in several parts (for example two) that should be assembled. Such embodiment (two pieces) has been shown in Figure 3 corresponding to one half of such a first element 7.
  • such a first element 7 comprises a succession of panels 10, 11 articulated and capable of defining the walls side 3, 3 'of said body 2.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention consists of using a first element 7 designed able to be folded like a so-called "American" box.
  • a first element 7 designed able to be folded like a so-called "American" box.
  • Such an embodiment allows the realization of a first element 7 whose dimensions, in the folded state (as visible Figure 2), do not exceed those of pallet 6 so that this first element 7 can be placed on the latter 6 without exceed in relation to it.
  • Such a first element 7 then comprises at least one panel 10 able to define a side wall 3 constituting a long side of a case 2.
  • This first element 7 comprises, again, at least one other panel 11 able to define a side wall 3 'constituting a small side of this box 2.
  • a preferred embodiment consists in conferring on said flaps 8, 8 'a shape such that, when unfolding the first element 7 and the folding of the flaps 8, 8 ', the latter 8, 8' come to define a frame 9 whose sides are juxtaposed without overlap.
  • Such a goal can be achieved by ensuring a 45 ° cutting of these flaps 8, 8 ′ as visible in FIG. 3.
  • flaps 8, 8 ′ Another characteristic of these flaps 8, 8 ′ is that at least one flap 8 ', extending the panel 11 defining a side wall 3 'intended to define a small side of the box 2, has a cutout 13.
  • the latter 13 is provided at the edge of said flap 8 'and has a depth such that said cut 13 is located at a certain distance from the line articulation 14 of this flap 8 'relative to the panel 11 of the side wall 3 'which it extends.
  • this box 2 has a second element 15 defined by an attached plate 16 on said pallet 6 and intended to be made integral with this last 6. It is, more particularly, around this plate 16 that comes to position the frame 9 defined by said flaps 8, 8 '.
  • this plate 16 has a corresponding thickness, substantially (or even preferably being equal), to that of the flaps 8, 8 '.
  • Such an embodiment defines a substantially flat surface on top which goods can be disposed of without undergoing inclination detrimental to proper and stable stacking such goods.
  • the frame 9 defined by the flaps 8, 8 ' is positioned around said plate 16.
  • this last 16 is designed so that its dimensions avoid, on the one hand, an overlap between it 16 and the flaps 8, 8 'so as to define such a flat surface and, on the other hand, too great a spacing between said plate 16 and said flaps 8, 8 'so as to avoid holes at the level of this flat surface.
  • this plate 16 has dimensions such that said frame 9 is positioned at a certain distance (preferably small) or close to this plate 16.
  • this plate 16 can, moreover, constitute pre-positioning means and / or means for pre-centering the first element 7 on the pallet 6.
  • said box 2 has a third foldable element 17, arranged above said plate 16 and intended to be made integral with the pallet 6.
  • This third element 17 is designed capable of constituting, in unfolded position, the bottom 4 of this box 2.
  • This third foldable element 17 comprises, on the one hand, a strip longitudinal 18, centered with respect to this third element 17, and intended to extend substantially parallel to the long side of the body 2.
  • said plate 16 thus that said longitudinal strip 18 are each rendered individually attached to said pallet 6.
  • the plate 16 (arranged above said pallet 6 and under this third element 17) is made integral with said pallet 6.
  • This third foldable element 17 comprises, on the other hand, two flaps 19, 19 'articulated on said longitudinal strip 18 and bordering the latter 18 on either side and so longitudinal.
  • flaps 19, 19 ′ are designed capable of being folded down, one in 19 direction of the other 19 ', in a direction indicated by arrows Figure 4, and so that said third element 17 adopts a shape, substantially "U" or triangle.
  • said third element 17 can, advantageously, be supplemented by means 20 (associated with flaps 19, 19 ') able to hold said third element 17 in this configuration in “U” or in triangle, in particular of temporarily and for the duration of the implementation of said first element 7 on the pallet 6.
  • Such holding means 20 can be constituted by at minus a defined tongue or the like, in particular by cutting, at at least one of the flaps 19, 19 'and intended to cooperate with the other flap 19 ′, 19.
  • these means of holding 20 are constituted by at least one tongue or analog defined (in particular by cutting) at the level of each said flaps 19, 19 '; a tab of one 19 of these flaps being designed capable of cooperating with a tongue of the other flap 19.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de caisse-palette en kit défini par une palette et par une caisse de type dépliable, notamment en carton ou analogue, disposée au moins en partie sous forme repliée par dessus ladite palette et qui, sous forme dépliée, présente des parois latérales et un fond.The present invention relates to a pallet box device in kit defined by a pallet and a type box unfoldable, in particular in cardboard or the like, arranged at least in part folded back over said pallet and which, under unfolded shape, has side walls and a bottom.

La présente invention concerne, encore, un dispositif de caisse-palette, notamment obtenu après montage des différents éléments constituant un tel kit, et défini, d'une part, par une caisse, notamment en carton ou analogue, comportant des parois latérales et un fond, et, d'autre part, par une palette par dessus laquelle est disposée ladite caisse.The present invention also relates to a pallet box device, especially obtained after assembly of the various elements constituting such a kit, and defined, on the one hand, by a box, especially of cardboard or the like, having side walls and a bottom, and, on the other hand, by a pallet on top which is disposed said box.

Cette invention concerne le domaine de la fabrication des emballages de grande contenance destinés à être transportés par des moyens de levage appropriés, ces emballages se présentant sous la forme d'éléments en kit dont il convient d'assurer le montage.This invention relates to the field of manufacturing large-capacity packaging intended for transport by suitable lifting means, these packages being in the form of kit elements which must be ensured mounting.

L'on connaít, d'ores et déjà, des emballages de ce type et constitués, par exemple, par une palette sur laquelle vient à être disposée une caisse, notamment en carton.We already know packaging of this type and constituted, for example, by a pallet on which comes to be placed a box, in particular of cardboard.

En fait, une telle caisse est généralement de nature pliable et est, usuellement, stockée sous forme repliée dans l'attente d'être dépliée et positionnée sur une palette, notamment en vue de son remplissage.In fact, such a crate is generally foldable in nature and is usually stored in folded form pending to be unfolded and positioned on a pallet, especially in view of its filling.

A ce propos, on remarquera qu'une telle caisse repliée est souvent livrée et stockée avec d'autres caisses indépendamment de la palette qu'elle est destinée à compléter, cette palette étant, elle-même, usuellement livrée et stockée avec d'autres palettes. Il en résulte que le nombre de caisses n'est pas toujours en adéquation avec le nombre de palettes à équiper de sorte qu'il se pose un problème de gestion de stock d'une quantité surabondante de palettes ou de caisses.In this regard, it will be noted that such a folded box is often delivered and stored with other cases independently of the palette that it is intended to complete, this palette being, itself, usually delivered and stored with others pallets. As a result, the number of cases is not always in line with the number of pallets to be fitted with so there arises a stock management problem of a overabundant quantity of pallets or cases.

On observera, de plus, que le remplissage d'un tel emballage n'est pas toujours effectué, soit immédiatement après que ladite caisse ait été dépliée et positionnée sur la palette en vue de définir un dispositif de caisse-palette, soit sur le lieu même du montage d'un tel dispositif. Il convient, alors, de déplacer un tel dispositif de caisse-palette, ce qui se fait, généralement, de manière manuelle.It will also be observed that the filling of such packaging is not always carried out, either immediately after said body has been unfolded and positioned on the pallet in order to define a pallet box arrangement, either on the site itself mounting such a device. It is then advisable to move such a pallet box device, which is done, generally, manually.

Une première solution consiste à exercer une action sur ladite palette pour traíner et/ou pousser ledit dispositif jusqu'à son lieu de remplissage ou de stockage provisoire. Une telle action nécessite, pour un opérateur, de se baisser et d'adopter une position inconfortable, fatigante, peu adaptée pour fournir un effort important et, surtout, susceptible d'occasionner des blessures.A first solution consists in exerting an action on said pallet for dragging and / or pushing said device to its place of filling or temporary storage. Such an action requires an operator to bend down and adopt a uncomfortable, tiring position, unsuitable for providing significant effort and, above all, likely to cause injury.

Une solution consiste, alors, à fixer ladite caisse sur la palette, notamment par agrafage, et à exercer une action sur cette caisse pour déplacer l'ensemble du dispositif. Une telle pratique présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients consistant, notamment, en ce qu'une telle action provoque des déformations, voire des détériorations, de la caisse en carton ce qui n'est pas acceptable.One solution is, then, to fix said box on the pallet, in particular by stapling, and to exert an action on this box to move the entire device. Such a practice has a number of substantial disadvantages, in particular, in that such an action causes deformations, or even damage, of the cardboard box which is not not acceptable.

De plus, il convient d'observer que de tels dispositifs de caisse-palette sont, généralement, livrés en kit à l'utilisateur. Ce dernier assure, alors, le montage de ce dispositif avant le remplissage de la caisse et son expédition. Arrivée à destination, ladite caisse est vidée et le dispositif est, généralement, réexpédié à son destinataire pour un nouveau remplissage. Il est évident que la fixation d'une telle caisse sur ladite palette rend un tel dispositif impropre à une utilisation en tant qu'emballage destiné à faire la navette entre un fournisseur et un client.In addition, it should be noted that such pallet boxes are generally delivered in kit form the user. The latter then ensures the mounting of this device before filling the box and shipping it. Arrival at destination, said box is emptied and the system is generally redirected to its recipient for a new one filling. It is obvious that the fixing of such a box on said pallet makes such a device unsuitable for use as packaging for commuting between a supplier and a customer.

Le but de la présente invention consiste à remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs de l'état de la technique.The object of the present invention is to remedy the disadvantages of the prior art devices.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de caisse-palette livré en kit, notamment à l'unité, et occupant un volume minimum.Another object of the invention is to propose a device for pallet box delivered as a kit, in particular individually, and occupying a minimum volume.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de caisse-palette en kit défini par une palette et par une caisse de type dépliable, notamment en carton ou analogue, disposée au moins en partie sous forme repliée par dessus ladite palette et qui, sous forme dépliée, présente des parois latérales et un fond, caractérisé par le fait que ladite caisse est définie :

  • par un premier élément de type dépliable, disposé sous forme repliée par dessus la palette, et au niveau duquel sont définis des panneaux ainsi que des rabats prolongeant ces derniers, lesdits panneaux et lesdits rabats étant destinés à définir, en position dépliée dudit premier élément, respectivement, les parois latérales de la caisse et un cadre destiné à reposer sur la palette ;
  • par un second élément défini par une plaque, disposée par dessus ladite palette, destinée à être rendue solidaire de cette dernière, et autour de laquelle est destiné à venir se positionner le cadre défini par lesdits rabats dudit premier élément en position dépliée ;
  • par un troisième élément de type pliable, disposé par dessus ladite palette, destiné à être rendu solidaire de cette dernière, et comportant une bande longitudinale bordée, de manière longitudinale, par deux volets articulés, ce troisième élément étant destiné à constituer, en position dépliée, le fond de la caisse.
To this end, the present invention relates to a pallet box device in kit form defined by a pallet and by a foldable type box, in particular made of cardboard or the like, arranged at least partially in folded form over said pallet and which, under unfolded shape, has side walls and a bottom, characterized in that said box is defined:
  • by a first element of the unfoldable type, arranged in folded form over the pallet, and at the level of which panels are defined as well as flaps extending the latter, said panels and said flaps being intended to define, in the unfolded position of said first element, respectively, the side walls of the box and a frame intended to rest on the pallet;
  • by a second element defined by a plate, disposed above said pallet, intended to be made integral with the latter, and around which is intended to be positioned the frame defined by said flaps of said first element in the unfolded position;
  • by a third element of the foldable type, disposed above said pallet, intended to be made integral with the latter, and comprising a longitudinal strip bordered, longitudinally, by two articulated flaps, this third element being intended to constitute, in the unfolded position , the bottom of the body.

La présente invention concerne, encore, un dispositif de caisse-palette, notamment obtenu après montage des différents éléments constituant un tel kit. Un tel dispositif de caisse-palette est défini, d'une part, par une caisse, notamment en carton ou analogue, comportant des parois latérales et un fond, et, d'autre part, par une palette par dessus laquelle est disposée ladite caisse, caractérisé par le fait que ladite caisse comporte :

  • un premier élément pliable au niveau duquel sont définis, d'une part, lesdites parois latérales de la caisse et, d'autre part, des rabats, prolongeant lesdites parois latérales et qui, en position dépliée de la caisse, définissent un cadre destiné à reposer sur la palette ;
  • un second élément défini par une plaque rapportée sur ladite palette et autour de laquelle vient se positionner le cadre défini par lesdits rabats ;
  • un troisième élément pliable, disposé par dessus ladite plaque, constituant, en position dépliée, le fond de la caisse et comportant, d'une part, une bande longitudinale rendue solidaire de ladite palette et, d'autre part, deux volets articulés sur ladite bande longitudinale et bordant cette dernière de manière longitudinale.
The present invention also relates to a pallet box device, in particular obtained after assembly of the various elements constituting such a kit. Such a pallet box device is defined, on the one hand, by a box, in particular made of cardboard or the like, comprising side walls and a bottom, and, on the other hand, by a pallet over which said box is arranged. , characterized by the fact that said box comprises:
  • a first foldable element at which are defined, on the one hand, said side walls of the box and, on the other hand, flaps, extending said side walls and which, in the unfolded position of the box, define a frame intended to rest on the pallet;
  • a second element defined by a plate attached to said pallet and around which the frame defined by said flaps is positioned;
  • a third foldable element, disposed above said plate, constituting, in the unfolded position, the bottom of the box and comprising, on the one hand, a longitudinal strip made integral with said pallet and, on the other hand, two flaps articulated on said longitudinal strip and bordering the latter longitudinally.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, un tel dispositif comporte des moyens de pré-positionnement et/ou de pré-centrage du premier élément en position dépliée sur la palette.According to another characteristic of the invention, such a device comprises means for pre-positioning and / or pre-centering of the first element in the unfolded position on the palette.

En fait, de tels moyens de pré-positionnement et/ou de pré-centrage sont définis, d'une part, par la plaque du second élément et, d'autre part, par le cadre défini par lesdits rabats.In fact, such means of pre-positioning and / or pre-centering are defined, on the one hand, by the plate of the second element and, on the other hand, by the framework defined by said flaps.

Une caractéristique additionnelle consiste en ce que ledit dispositif comporte des moyens de positionnement et/ou de centrage du premier élément en position dépliée sur la palette.An additional feature is that said device comprises means for positioning and / or centering of the first element in the unfolded position on the pallet.

De tels moyens de positionnement et/ou de centrage sont définis, d'une part, par le troisième élément et, d'autre part, par les parois latérales de la caisse avec lesquelles ledit troisième élément est destiné à coopérer en position déplié.Such positioning and / or centering means are defined, on the one hand, by the third element and, on the other hand, by the side walls of the body with which said third element is intended to cooperate in the unfolded position.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ladite plaque du second élément est disposée par dessus ladite palette et est rendue solidaire de cette dernière.According to another characteristic of the invention, said plate of the second element is arranged above said pallet and is made in solidarity with the latter.

Encore une autre caractéristique consiste en ce que le troisième élément est disposé par dessus ladite plaque et que sa bande longitudinale est rendue solidaire de ladite palette.Yet another feature is that the third element is placed over said plate and its strip longitudinal is made integral with said pallet.

Une caractéristique additionnelle concerne le fait que la plaque du second élément est rendue solidaire de ladite palette par l'intermédiaire de la solidarisation du troisième élément de la palette.An additional feature concerns the fact that the plate of the second element is made integral with said pallet by through the joining of the third element of the palette.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la plaque du second élément présente des dimensions telles que le cadre, défini par les rabats du premier élément déplié, est conçu apte à venir se positionner à une certaine distance ou à proximité de ladite plaque.According to another characteristic, the plate of the second element has dimensions such as the frame, defined by flaps of the first unfolded element, is designed capable of coming position at a certain distance or near said plate.

De plus, ladite plaque présente une épaisseur correspondant sensiblement à celle desdits rabats.In addition, said plate has a corresponding thickness substantially to that of said flaps.

Une caractéristique additionnelle consiste en ce qu'au moins un rabat prolongeant une paroi latérale comporte une découpe, ménagée en bordure de ce rabat, et se situant à une certaine distance de la ligne d'articulation de ce rabat par rapport à la paroi latérale qu'il prolonge.An additional feature is that at least one flap extending a side wall has a cutout, formed at the edge of this flap, and located at a certain distance of the articulation line of this flap from the side wall that it extends.

En fait, ladite découpe du rabat présente une largeur au moins égale à celle de la bande longitudinale que comporte le troisième élément.In fact, said cutout of the flap has a width at least equal to that of the longitudinal strip that the third element.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le troisième élément comporte des moyens, associés auxdits volets, et aptes à maintenir ce troisième élément en position repliée, notamment de manière temporaire.According to another characteristic, the third element comprises means, associated with said components, and capable of maintaining this third element in the folded position, especially so temporary.

Une caractéristique additionnelle concerne le fait que le troisième élément présente des côtés qui, en position dépliée de cet élément, viennent jouxter une paroi latérale, l'un au moins de ces côtés présentant une échancrure s'étendant de part et d'autre de ladite bande longitudinale.An additional feature concerns the fact that the third element has sides which, in the unfolded position of this element, adjoin a side wall, at least one on these sides having a notch extending on either side and other of said longitudinal strip.

Finalement, le dispositif de caisse-palette est complété par un couvercle.Finally, the pallet box system is completed by a lid.

Les avantages de la présente invention consistent en ce que ledit dispositif de caisse-palette se présente sous la forme d'un kit comportant ladite palette sur laquelle sont disposés, notamment à l'état replié, le premier, le second et le troisième élément, voire le couvercle. Un tel dispositif en kit est destiné à être livré, voire stocké, en l'état.The advantages of the present invention are that said pallet box device is in the form a kit comprising said pallet on which are arranged, especially in the folded state, the first, the second and the third element, even the cover. Such a kit device is intended to be delivered, or even stored, as is.

Après livraison et avant son remplissage, ledit dispositif de caisse-palette est monté.After delivery and before filling, the said device pallet box is mounted.

Un autre avantage consiste en ce qu'un tel dispositif peut être livré à l'unité et ne nécessite plus la livraison, indépendamment, d'un lot de palettes, d'un lot de caisses, voire encore d'un lot de couvercles pour de telles caisse. Another advantage is that such a device can be delivered individually and no longer requires delivery, independently, of a batch of pallets, a batch of cases, or even still a lot of covers for such cases.

La conception particulièrement astucieuse de ce dispositif autorise un montage de ce dispositif par une seule personne et non plus par deux opérateurs comme les dispositifs de l'état de la technique.The particularly clever design of this device authorizes one person to assemble this device and either by two operators like the state devices of the technique.

L'invention est exposée plus en détail dans la description qui va suivre se rapportant à un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple et illustré dans les figures des dessins joints en annexe dans lesquels :

  • La présente invention concerne le domaine de la fabrication d'emballages pour contenir et transporter des marchandises.The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing packaging to contain and transport goods.

    Tel que visible sur les figures des dessins en annexe, un tel emballage est constitué par un dispositif 1 de caisse-palette qui, comme son nom l'indique, est défini, d'une part, par une caisse 2 comportant des parois latérales 3, 3' et un fond 4, une telle caisse 2 pouvant être complétée par un couvercle 5, notamment de type amovible.As can be seen in the figures in the accompanying drawings, such packaging consists of a pallet box device 1 which, as its name suggests, is defined, on the one hand, by a body 2 comprising side walls 3, 3 'and a bottom 4, a such box 2 can be completed by a cover 5, in particular of removable type.

    Une telle caisse 2 est, notamment et au moins en partie, définie en carton ou analogue, et se présente, généralement, sous une forme au moins en partie pliée qu'il convient de déplier pour constituer une caisse 2 apte à contenir des marchandises.Such a box 2 is, in particular and at least in part, defined of cardboard or the like, and is generally present in a at least partially folded shape that should be unfolded to constitute a box 2 capable of containing goods.

    Un tel dispositif 1 de caisse-palette est défini, d'autre part, par une palette 6 par dessus laquelle est disposée ladite caisse 2.Such a pallet box device 1 is defined, on the other hand, by a pallet 6 over which is placed said box 2.

    Selon l'invention, cette caisse 2 comporte un premier élément 7 pliable au niveau duquel sont définis, d'une part, lesdites parois latérales 3, 3' de la caisse 2 et, d'autre part, des rabats 8, 8' prolongeant lesdites parois latérales 3, 3'. Ces rabats 8, 8' sont conçus aptes, en position dépliée de la caisse 2 et dudit premier élément 7, à être rabattus vers l'intérieur de ce premier élément 7 de manière à définir un cadre 9 destiné à reposer sur la palette 6.According to the invention, this box 2 comprises a first element 7 foldable at the level of which are defined, on the one hand, said side walls 3, 3 'of the body 2 and, on the other hand, flaps 8, 8 'extending said side walls 3, 3'. These flaps 8, 8 'are designed suitable, in the unfolded position of the body 2 and said first element 7, to be folded inwards of this first element 7 so as to define a frame 9 intended to rest on the pallet 6.

    Un tel premier élément 7 est, généralement, réalisé en carton ou analogue et peut être défini en une pièce unique ou en plusieurs pièces (par exemple deux) qu'il convient d'assembler. Un tel mode de réalisation (à deux pièces) a été représenté figure 3 correspondant à une moitié d'un tel premier élément 7.Such a first element 7 is, generally, made of cardboard or similar and can be defined as a single part or in several parts (for example two) that should be assembled. Such embodiment (two pieces) has been shown in Figure 3 corresponding to one half of such a first element 7.

    En fait, un tel premier élément 7 comporte une succession de panneaux 10, 11 articulés et aptes à définir les parois latérales 3, 3' de ladite caisse 2.In fact, such a first element 7 comprises a succession of panels 10, 11 articulated and capable of defining the walls side 3, 3 'of said body 2.

    A ce propos, on observera qu'un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention consiste à fait appel à un premier élément 7 conçu apte à être plié à la manière d'une caisse dite « américaine ». Un tel mode de réalisation permet la réalisation d'un premier élément 7 dont les dimensions, à l'état replié (comme visible figure 2), ne dépassent pas celles de la palette 6 de sorte que ce premier élément 7 peut être disposé sur cette dernière 6 sans dépasser par rapport à celle-ci.In this regard, it will be observed that a preferred embodiment of the invention consists of using a first element 7 designed able to be folded like a so-called "American" box. Such an embodiment allows the realization of a first element 7 whose dimensions, in the folded state (as visible Figure 2), do not exceed those of pallet 6 so that this first element 7 can be placed on the latter 6 without exceed in relation to it.

    Un tel premier élément 7 comporte, alors, au moins un panneau 10 apte à définir une paroi latérale 3 constituant un grand côté d'une caisse 2.Such a first element 7 then comprises at least one panel 10 able to define a side wall 3 constituting a long side of a case 2.

    Ce premier élément 7 comporte, encore, au moins un autre panneau 11 apte à définir une paroi latérale 3' constituant un petit côté de cette caisse 2.This first element 7 comprises, again, at least one other panel 11 able to define a side wall 3 'constituting a small side of this box 2.

    A ce propos, il convient d'observer que, dans le cas d'un premier élément 7 pliable à la manière d'une caisse « américaine », le panneau 11, définissant la paroi latérale 3' d'un petit côté de cette caisse 2, est défini, par deux volets 12, 12' articulés.In this regard, it should be noted that, in the case of a first element 7 foldable like a box "American", the panel 11, defining the side wall 3 ' on one side of this box 2, is defined by two flaps 12, 12 'articulated.

    Tel que visible sur les figures 2, 3 et 5, les parois latérales 3, 3' sont prolongées par des rabats 8, 8'.As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5, the side walls 3, 3 'are extended by flaps 8, 8'.

    Un mode préféré de réalisation consiste à conférer auxdits rabats 8, 8' une forme telle que, lors du dépliage du premier élément 7 et du rabattage des rabats 8, 8', ces derniers 8, 8' viennent définir un cadre 9 dont les côtés se juxtaposent sans se superposer.A preferred embodiment consists in conferring on said flaps 8, 8 'a shape such that, when unfolding the first element 7 and the folding of the flaps 8, 8 ', the latter 8, 8' come to define a frame 9 whose sides are juxtaposed without overlap.

    Un tel but peut être atteint en assurant un découpage à 45° de ces rabats 8, 8' tel que visible figure 3.Such a goal can be achieved by ensuring a 45 ° cutting of these flaps 8, 8 ′ as visible in FIG. 3.

    Une autre caractéristique de ces rabats 8, 8' consiste en ce qu'au moins un rabat 8', prolongeant le panneau 11 définissant une paroi latérale 3' destinée à définir un petit côté de la caisse 2, comporte une découpe 13. Cette dernière 13 est ménagée en bordure dudit rabat 8' et présente une profondeur telle que ladite découpe 13 se situe à une certaine distance de la ligne d'articulation 14 de ce rabat 8' par rapport au panneau 11 de la paroi latérale 3' qu'il prolonge.Another characteristic of these flaps 8, 8 ′ is that at least one flap 8 ', extending the panel 11 defining a side wall 3 'intended to define a small side of the box 2, has a cutout 13. The latter 13 is provided at the edge of said flap 8 'and has a depth such that said cut 13 is located at a certain distance from the line articulation 14 of this flap 8 'relative to the panel 11 of the side wall 3 'which it extends.

    Le fait de maintenir une certaine distance entre cette découpe 13 et la ligne d'articulation 14 permet de contribuer à la rigidité de la caisse 2 en renforçant la résistance à la déformation du premier élément 7.Maintaining a certain distance between this cut 13 and the articulation line 14 makes it possible to contribute to the rigidity of the body 2 by strengthening the resistance to deformation of the first element 7.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, cette caisse 2 comporte un second élément 15 défini par une plaque 16 rapportée sur ladite palette 6 et destinée à être rendue solidaire de cette dernière 6. C'est, plus particulièrement, autour de cette plaque 16 que vient se positionner le cadre 9 défini par lesdits rabats 8, 8'.According to another characteristic of the invention, this box 2 has a second element 15 defined by an attached plate 16 on said pallet 6 and intended to be made integral with this last 6. It is, more particularly, around this plate 16 that comes to position the frame 9 defined by said flaps 8, 8 '.

    A ce propos, on observera que cette plaque 16 présente une épaisseur correspondant, sensiblement (voire étant de préférence égale), à celle des rabats 8, 8'. Un tel mode de réalisation permet de définir une surface sensiblement plane par dessus laquelle des marchandises peuvent être disposées sans subir d'inclinaison préjudiciable à un empilement approprié et stable de telles marchandises.In this regard, it will be observed that this plate 16 has a corresponding thickness, substantially (or even preferably being equal), to that of the flaps 8, 8 '. Such an embodiment defines a substantially flat surface on top which goods can be disposed of without undergoing inclination detrimental to proper and stable stacking such goods.

    Tel qu'évoqué ci-dessus, le cadre 9 défini par les rabats 8, 8' vient se positionner autour de ladite plaque 16. En fait, cette dernière 16 est conçue de telle sorte que ses dimensions évitent, d'une part, un chevauchement entre celle-ci 16 et les rabats 8, 8' de manière à définir une telle surface plane et, d'autre part, un espacement trop important entre ladite plaque 16 et lesdits rabats 8, 8' de manière à éviter les trous au niveau de cette surface plane. Ainsi, cette plaque 16 présente des dimensions telles que ledit cadre 9 vient se positionner à une certaine distance (de préférence faible) ou à proximité de cette plaque 16. As mentioned above, the frame 9 defined by the flaps 8, 8 ' is positioned around said plate 16. In fact, this last 16 is designed so that its dimensions avoid, on the one hand, an overlap between it 16 and the flaps 8, 8 'so as to define such a flat surface and, on the other hand, too great a spacing between said plate 16 and said flaps 8, 8 'so as to avoid holes at the level of this flat surface. Thus, this plate 16 has dimensions such that said frame 9 is positioned at a certain distance (preferably small) or close to this plate 16.

    On observera que cette plaque 16 peut, de plus, constituer des moyens de pré-positionnement et/ou des moyens de pré-centrage du premier élément 7 sur la palette 6.It will be observed that this plate 16 can, moreover, constitute pre-positioning means and / or means for pre-centering the first element 7 on the pallet 6.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ladite caisse 2 comporte un troisième élément pliable 17, disposé par dessus ladite plaque 16 et destiné à être rendu solidaire de la palette 6. Ce troisième élément 17 est conçu apte à constituer, en position dépliée, le fond 4 de cette caisse 2.According to another characteristic of the invention, said box 2 has a third foldable element 17, arranged above said plate 16 and intended to be made integral with the pallet 6. This third element 17 is designed capable of constituting, in unfolded position, the bottom 4 of this box 2.

    Ce troisième élément pliable 17 comporte, d'une part, une bande longitudinale 18, centrée par rapport à ce troisième élément 17, et destinée à s'étendre de manière sensiblement parallèle au grand côté de la caisse 2.This third foldable element 17 comprises, on the one hand, a strip longitudinal 18, centered with respect to this third element 17, and intended to extend substantially parallel to the long side of the body 2.

    C'est, plus particulièrement, au niveau de cette bande longitudinale 18 que ledit troisième élément 17 est rendu solidaire de ladite palette 6, ceci par l'intermédiaire de moyens de solidarisation 23, notamment des agrafages ou analogue.It is, more particularly, at the level of this band longitudinal 18 that said third element 17 is rendered secured to said pallet 6, this by means of securing means 23, in particular staples or similar.

    Selon un mode particulier de réalisation ladite plaque 16 ainsi que ladite bande longitudinale 18 sont, chacune, rendues individuellement solidaires de ladite palette 6.According to a particular embodiment, said plate 16 thus that said longitudinal strip 18 are each rendered individually attached to said pallet 6.

    Cependant et selon un mode préféré de réalisation, c'est en rendant le troisième élément 17 solidaire de la palette 6 que la plaque 16 (disposée par dessus ladite palette 6 et sous ce troisième élément 17) est rendue solidaire de ladite palette 6.However and according to a preferred embodiment, it is in making the third element 17 integral with the pallet 6 that the plate 16 (arranged above said pallet 6 and under this third element 17) is made integral with said pallet 6.

    Ce troisième élément pliable 17 comporte, d'autre part, deux volets 19, 19' articulés sur ladite bande longitudinale 18 et bordant cette dernière 18 de part et d'autre et de manière longitudinale. This third foldable element 17 comprises, on the other hand, two flaps 19, 19 'articulated on said longitudinal strip 18 and bordering the latter 18 on either side and so longitudinal.

    Ces volets 19, 19' sont conçus aptes à être rabattus l'un 19 en direction de l'autre 19', selon une direction indiquée par des flèches figure 4, et en sorte que ledit troisième élément 17 adopte une forme, sensiblement en « U » ou en triangle.These flaps 19, 19 ′ are designed capable of being folded down, one in 19 direction of the other 19 ', in a direction indicated by arrows Figure 4, and so that said third element 17 adopts a shape, substantially "U" or triangle.

    A ce propos, on observera que ledit troisième élément 17 peut, avantageusement, être complété par des moyens 20 (associés aux volets 19, 19') aptes à maintenir ledit troisième élément 17 dans cette configuration en « U » ou en triangle, notamment de manière temporaire et pendant la durée de la mise en place dudit premier élément 7 sur la palette 6.In this regard, it will be observed that said third element 17 can, advantageously, be supplemented by means 20 (associated with flaps 19, 19 ') able to hold said third element 17 in this configuration in “U” or in triangle, in particular of temporarily and for the duration of the implementation of said first element 7 on the pallet 6.

    De tels moyens de maintien 20 peuvent être constitués par au moins une languette ou analogue définie, notamment par découpage, au niveau de l'un au moins des volets 19, 19' et destinée à coopérer avec l'autre volet 19', 19.Such holding means 20 can be constituted by at minus a defined tongue or the like, in particular by cutting, at at least one of the flaps 19, 19 'and intended to cooperate with the other flap 19 ′, 19.

    Cependant et selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ces moyens de maintien 20 sont constitués par au moins une languette ou analogue définie (notamment par découpage) au niveau de chacun desdits volets 19, 19' ; une languette de l'un 19 de ces volets étant conçue apte à coopérer avec une languette de l'autre volet 19'.However and according to a preferred embodiment, these means of holding 20 are constituted by at least one tongue or analog defined (in particular by cutting) at the level of each said flaps 19, 19 '; a tab of one 19 of these flaps being designed capable of cooperating with a tongue of the other flap 19.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la découpe 13 du rabat 8' présente une largeur au moins égale (de préférence sensiblement ajustée) à celle de la bande longitudinale 18 dudit troisième élément 17 de manière à autoriser, lors de la mise en place du premier élément 7 sur la palette 6, un passage de cette découpe 13 au niveau de la tranche dudit troisième élément 17 configuré en « U » ou en triangle.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cut 13 of the flap 8 'has a width at least equal (preferably substantially adjusted) to that of the longitudinal strip 18 of said third element 17 so as to allow, when setting place of the first element 7 on the pallet 6, a passage of this cut-out 13 at the edge of said third element 17 configured in "U" or triangle.

    Une autre caractéristique consiste en ce que ledit troisième élément 17 présente une échancrure 21 s'étendant de part et d'autre de ladite bande longitudinale 18, ceci au niveau des côtés 22 dudit troisième élément 17 destinés à jouxter une paroi latérale 3' constituant un petit côté de la caisse 2.Another feature is that said third element 17 has a notch 21 extending on either side and other of said longitudinal strip 18, this at the level of sides 22 of said third element 17 intended to adjoin a wall side 3 'constituting a small side of the body 2.

    Une telle échancrure 21 est destinée à autoriser un passage, au niveau de la tranche dudit troisième élément 17 configuré en « U » ou en triangle, des rabats 8' en position au moins partiellement rabattue, ceci lors de la mise en place dudit premier élément 7 sur la palette 6 et lorsque ces rabats 8' arrivent à proximité de ladite bande longitudinale 18.Such a notch 21 is intended to authorize a passage, at level of the edge of said third element 17 configured in "U" or triangle, flaps 8 'in position at least partially folded down, this during the installation of said first element 7 on the pallet 6 and when these flaps 8 ' arrive near said longitudinal strip 18.

    A ce propos, on observera que la profondeur de cette échancrure 21 et la profondeur de la découpe 13 sont conçues en sorte de permettre un tel passage, de préférence, sans occasionner de déformation à la caisse 2.In this regard, it will be observed that the depth of this notch 21 and the depth of the cut 13 are designed so as to preferably allow such passage without causing deformation of the body 2.

    Un mode de réalisation préféré consiste, en fait, à définir ces profondeurs en sorte de permettre un engagement partiel du rabat 8' sous la bande longitudinale 18 (entre cette dernière 18 et ladite palette 6), ceci au niveau du fond de ladite découpe 13.A preferred embodiment is, in fact, to define these depths to allow partial engagement of the flap 8 'under the longitudinal strip 18 (between the latter 18 and said pallet 6), this at the bottom of said cutout 13.

    Tel que visible figure 5, lesdits volets 19, 19' sont conçus aptes à être déployés selon les flèches de manière à venir recouvrir la plaque 16 et le cadre 9 des rabats 8, 8', ceci en vue de définir le fond 4 de la caisse 2.As shown in Figure 5, said flaps 19, 19 'are designed able to be deployed according to the arrows so as to come cover the plate 16 and the frame 9 of the flaps 8, 8 ', this in view to define the bottom 4 of the body 2.

    Ces volets 19, 19' sont, encore, conçus aptes à prendre sensiblement appui sur le côté interne des parois latérales 3, 3' de la caisse 2 de manière à assurer le centrage et le positionnement dudit premier élément 7 sur la palette 6.These flaps 19, 19 'are, again, designed capable of taking substantially supported on the internal side of the side walls 3, 3 'of the body 2 so as to ensure centering and positioning of said first element 7 on the pallet 6.

    Ainsi, le troisième élément 17 constitue, en combinaison avec lesdites parois latérales 3, 3', des moyens de positionnement et/ou des moyens de centrage dudit premier élément 7 (ainsi que de la caisse 2) sur la palette 6. Thus, the third element 17 constitutes, in combination with said side walls 3, 3 ', positioning means and / or means for centering said first element 7 (as well as from the box 2) on the pallet 6.

    Le premier 7 et/ou le second 15 et/ou le troisième 17 élément sont définis en un matériau pliable plus particulièrement du carton ou analogue.The first 7 and / or the second 15 and / or the third 17 element are defined in a pliable material more particularly of cardboard or the like.

    Selon une autre caractéristique, la présente invention concerne, encore, un dispositif 1 de caisse-palette en kit défini par une palette 6 et par une caisse 2 de type dépliable, notamment en carton ou analogue, disposée au moins en partie sous forme repliée par dessus ladite palette 6 et qui, sous forme dépliée, présente les parois latérales 3, 3' et le fond 4.According to another characteristic, the present invention relates to, again, a kit pallet box device 1 defined by a pallet 6 and by a box 2 of the unfoldable type, in particular in cardboard or the like, arranged at least in part in the form folded over said pallet 6 and which, in unfolded form, has the side walls 3, 3 'and the bottom 4.

    Une telle caisse 2 est constituée par ledit premier élément 7 de type dépliable, disposé sous forme repliée par dessus la palette 6, et au niveau duquel sont définis les panneaux 10 ; 11 ainsi que les rabats 8, 8' prolongeant ces derniers 10 ; 11. Lesdits panneaux 10 ; 11 et lesdits rabats 8, 8' sont destinés à définir, en position dépliée dudit premier élément 7, respectivement, les parois latérales 3; 3' de la caisse 2 et le cadre 9 destiné à reposer sur la palette 6;Such a box 2 is constituted by said first element 7 of unfoldable type, arranged folded over the pallet 6, and at which the panels 10 are defined; 11 as well that the flaps 8, 8 'extending the latter 10; 11. The said panels 10; 11 and said flaps 8, 8 ′ are intended to define, in the unfolded position of said first element 7, respectively, the side walls 3; 3 'from box 2 and the frame 9 intended to rest on the pallet 6;

    Cette caisse 2 est, encore, constituée par ledit second élément 15 défini par la plaque 16, disposée par dessus ladite palette 6, destinée à être rendue solidaire de cette dernière 6, et autour de laquelle 16 est destiné à venir se positionner le cadre 9 défini par lesdits rabats 8, 8' dudit premier élément 7 en position dépliée.This box 2 is, again, constituted by said second element 15 defined by plate 16, arranged over said pallet 6, intended to be made integral with the latter 6, and around which 16 is intended to be positioned the frame 9 defined by said flaps 8, 8 'of said first element 7 in the unfolded position.

    Ladite caisse 2 est, de plus, constituée par le troisième élément 17 de type pliable, disposé par dessus ladite palette 6, destiné à être rendu solidaire de cette dernière 6, et comportant la bande longitudinale 18 bordée, de manière longitudinale, par deux volets articulés 19, 19', ce troisième élément 17 étant destiné à constituer, en position dépliée, le fond 4 de la caisse 2. Said case 2 is, moreover, constituted by the third element 17 of the foldable type, placed over said pallet 6, intended to be made integral with the latter 6, and comprising the longitudinal strip 18 bordered, so longitudinal, by two articulated flaps 19, 19 ', this third element 17 being intended to constitute, in the unfolded position, the bottom 4 of the body 2.

    A ce propos, on observera que ledit kit est, en fait, défini par ladite palette 6 sur laquelle sont disposés ledit premier 7, ledit second 15 et ledit troisième 17 élément, voire ledit couvercle 5. Ce dernier 5 peut, en fait, être conçu apte à être disposé par dessus lesdits éléments 7, 15 et 17, voire être conçu apte à venir coiffer, au moins en partie, ladite palette 6.In this regard, it will be observed that said kit is, in fact, defined by said pallet 6 on which said first 7 are arranged, said second 15 and said third 17 element, even said cover 5. The latter 5 can, in fact, be designed to be disposed above said elements 7, 15 and 17, or even be designed capable of styling, at least in part, said palette 6.

    Un mode préféré de réalisation consiste à disposer sur ladite palette 6 ladite plaque 16 puis, par dessus cette dernière 16, ledit troisième élément 17. Ce dernier 17 peut, encore, être rendu solidaire de ladite palette 6 ce qui permet, également, de rendre ladite plaque 16 solidaire de cette palette 6 (figure 4).A preferred embodiment consists in placing on said pallet 6 said plate 16 then, over the latter 16, said third element 17. The latter 17 may also be made integral with said pallet 6 which also makes it possible to make said plate 16 integral with this pallet 6 (Figure 4).

    En ce qui concerne la réalisation d'un dispositif 1 de caisse-palette à partir d'un tel kit, on observera qu'il convient, tout d'abord, d'assurer le dépliage du premier élément 7 et le repliage des volets 19, 19' du troisième élément 17, ce dernier 17 étant maintenu en position repliée au travers des moyens de maintien 20.Regarding the production of a pallet box device 1 from such a kit, it will be observed that it is suitable, everything first, to unfold the first element 7 and the folding of the flaps 19, 19 ′ of the third element 17, the latter 17 being kept in the folded position through means of maintenance 20.

    Ledit premier élément 7 déplié est, alors, engagé par dessus ledit troisième élément 17.Said first element 7 unfolded is then engaged over said third element 17.

    Les rabats 8' (prolongeant les panneaux 11 définissant les petits côtés de la caisse 2) sont, ensuite, rabattus au moins partiellement pour ensuite assurer l'engagement, soit de manière sensiblement simultanée ou non (montage du dispositif 1 par au moins deux opérateurs) , soit de manière successive (montage du dispositif par un seul opérateur) des rabats 8' sous la bande longitudinale 18.The flaps 8 '(extending the panels 11 defining the short sides of the body 2) are then folded down at least partially to then ensure engagement, either in a way substantially simultaneous or not (mounting of device 1 by at minus two operators), either successively (mounting the device by a single operator) flaps 8 'under the band longitudinal 18.

    Il est, ensuite, assuré un pré-positionnement et/ou un pré-centrage dudit premier élément 7 par rapport à ladite plaque 16 (voire par rapport à ladite palette 6), ceci par l'intermédiaire du cadre 9 (formé par les rabats 8, 8') et de la plaque 16. It is then ensured a pre-positioning and / or a pre-centering of said first element 7 relative to said plate 16 (or even with respect to said pallet 6), this through of the frame 9 (formed by the flaps 8, 8 ') and of the plate 16.

    Il est, par la suite, assuré un déploiement des volets 19, 19' (figure 5) en vue de venir recouvrir ladite plaque 16 et ledit cadre 9, ceci afin de constituer le fond 4 de la caisse 2. Au travers de ce déploiement, il est assuré une prise d'appui de ces volets 19, 19' sur le côté interne des parois latérales 3, 3' ce qui assure un positionnement approprié et/ou un centrage du premier élément 7 sur la palette 6.It is subsequently ensured a deployment of the flaps 19, 19 ' (Figure 5) in order to cover said plate 16 and said frame 9, this in order to constitute the bottom 4 of the body 2. At Through this deployment, support is provided for these flaps 19, 19 ′ on the internal side of the side walls 3, 3 'which ensures proper positioning and / or centering of the first element 7 on the pallet 6.

    Il peut, alors, être procédé au remplissage de la caisse 2 ou au stockage provisoire dudit dispositif 1 notamment après son recouvrement par un couvercle 5.It is then possible to fill the box 2 or to provisional storage of said device 1 in particular after its cover with cover 5.

    Les opérations inverses permettent (notamment après vidage de la caisse) de démonter le dispositif 1 de caisse-palette pour le remettre sous la forme d'un kit, notamment en vue de son stockage ou de son expédition.Reverse operations allow (especially after emptying the body) to dismantle the pallet box device 1 for the return in the form of a kit, in particular for the purpose of storage or shipping.
