Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un emballage selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1.
L'invention s'applique en particulier au conditionnement de bouteilles, notamment de bière.The invention applies in particular to the packaging of bottles, especially beer.
Pour éviter la dégradation de la bière dans le temps, il est utile que les bouteilles qui la contiennent soient conditionnées dans un emballage entièrement fermé.To avoid the degradation of beer over time, it is useful that the bottles that contain it are packed in a completely wrapped closed.
Généralement, un tel emballage fermé, communément appelé « valisette », est obtenu à partir d'un flan unique de carton plié et collé pour former un fourreau à extrémités ouvertes. Ce fourreau est mis en volume pour y placer les récipients. Ensuite, on vient fermer les extrémités du fourreau pour obtenir l'emballage fermé.Generally, such closed packaging, commonly known as a "suitcase ", Is obtained from a single blank of cardboard folded and glued to form a scabbard with open ends. This sheath is set in volume to place the containers. Then we just close the ends of the sheath to get closed packaging.
Ces fourreaux sont conditionnés dans des caisses spéciales puis livrés aux sociétés productrices des bouteilles. Ces sociétés assurent alors la mise en volume, le remplissage et la fermeture des fourreaux.These sleeves are packaged in special cases and then delivered to the companies producing the bottles. These companies then provide volume setting, filling and closing of the sleeves.
Les coûts logistiques associés sont relativement importants notamment en raison du conditionnement particulier que les fourreaux nécessitent.The associated logistics costs are relatively high, in particular because of the special conditioning that the sleeves require.
La mise en volume directe du flan unique autour des bouteilles résoudrait les problèmes logistiques mentionnés précédemment. Toutefois, elle impliquerait l'utilisation, par les sociétés productrices de bouteilles, de machines de conditionnement complexes et coûteuses.The direct volume of the single blank around the bottles would solve the logistical problems mentioned above. However, it would imply the use, by the companies producing bottles, of machines complex and expensive packaging.
US-4 715 493 décrit un emballage réalisé à partir de deux flans distincts d'un même matériau. Une poignée est formée par une bande rapportée.US-4,715,493 describes a package produced from two blanks distinct from the same material. A handle is formed by an attached strip.
On connaĂt Ă©galement de FR-2 707 260 un emballage selon le prĂ©ambule de la revendication 1. Une poignĂ©e de saisie est dĂ©coupĂ©e dans la paroi supĂ©rieure de la partie formant coiffe. Pour transporter l'emballage contenant des rĂ©cipients, un consommateur saisit cette poignĂ©e.We also know from FR-2 707 260 a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1. A grip handle is cut from the wall upper part of the cap part. To transport the packaging containing a consumer grabs this handle.
On a constaté que la résistance d'un tel emballage aux opérations de saisie de sa poignée et de transport est particulièrement faible, de sorte qu'il s'ouvre fréquemment avec le risque de voir les récipients s'échapper et se briser sur le sol. It was found that the resistance of such packaging to operations grip and transport is particularly weak, so it opens frequently with the risk of the containers escaping and breaking On the ground.
Ce risque est d'autant plus important que les récipients à conditionner sont lourds ou nombreux. Ainsi, un tel emballage est mal adapté pour conditionner un grand nombre de bouteilles de bières.This risk is all the more important as the containers to be packaged are heavy or numerous. Thus, such packaging is unsuitable for packaging a large number of beer bottles.
Un but de l'invention est de résoudre ce problème en fournissant un emballage selon le préambule de la revendication 1 qui résiste mieux aux opérations de saisie de sa poignée et de transport et qui engendre des coûts réduits.An object of the invention is to solve this problem by providing a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1 which is more resistant to operations grip and transport and which generates reduced costs.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un emballage selon la revendication 1.To this end, the subject of the invention is a packaging according to claim 1.

revendications dépendantes 2 à 12.Specific embodiments of the packaging are the subject of
L'invention a en outre pour objet un ensemble selon la revendication 13.The invention further relates to an assembly according to claim 13.

Ce flan 6 est symétrique par rapport à un axe médian transversal, qui est vertical sur la figure 3.This blank 6 is symmetrical with respect to a transverse median axis, which is vertical in Figure 3.
Le flan 6 comprend un panneau de paroi inférieure 8 rectangulaire
prolongé au niveau de ses grands côtés par un panneau de paroi latérale 10 et
par un panneau de paroi latérale 12, qui est de hauteur plus réduite que le panneau
10.The blank 6 comprises a rectangular
Les panneaux 10 et 12 sont reliés au panneau de paroi inférieure 8
par des lignes de découpe 14 fortement interrompues qui forment lignes de
pliage. Ces lignes 14 sont horizontales (comme vu sur la figure 3).The
Le panneau 10 est prolongé au niveau de ses petits côtés, c'est-à -dire
vers la droite et vers la gauche sur la figure 3, par des volets 16 en forme de
trapèze rectangle. Chaque volet 16 est relié au panneau 10 par une ligne de
pliage 18 verticale (comme vu sur la figure 3).The
Le panneau 12 est prolongé au niveau de ses petits côtés, c'est-à -dire
vers la droite et vers la gauche sur la figure 3, par des volets 20 en forme de
trapèze rectangle. Ces volets sont chacun reliés au panneau 12 par des lignes
de pliage 22 verticales (comme vu sur la figure 3). The
Le panneau de paroi inférieure 8 est prolongé au niveau de ses petits
côtés, c'est-à -dire vers la droite et vers la gauche sur la figure 3, par des
panneaux de parois latérales 24. Chaque panneau 24 est relié au panneau 8 par
une ligne de pliage 26 verticale (comme vu sur la figure 3).The
Une ligne de découpe médiane 28 fortement interrompue est ménagée
dans chaque panneau 24. Cette ligne 28 forme ligne de pliage. Elle est
parallèle à la ligne 26 et partage le panneau 24 en une première zone 30 adjacente
à la ligne 26 et qui est de forme rectangulaire, et en une deuxième zone 32
de forme convergeant vers l'extérieur du flan 6.A severely interrupted
Deux lignes de découpe interrompues 34 s'étendent longitudinalement
dans le panneau de paroi latérale 10 et dans les volets 16 adjacents. Les
lignes 34 comportent des rebroussements 35 à leurs extrémités longitudinales.Two interrupted
Les lignes 34 délimitent entre elles une première région 36 sous
forme d'une bande et dont les extrémités longitudinales 38 situées dans les volets
16 sont légèrement divergentes.The
Les extrémités 38 de la première région 36 s'étendent chacune sur
sensiblement la moitié de la longueur du volet 16 correspondant.The
Les rebroussements 35 sont orientés vers l'axe médian transversal
du flan 6 et vers l'extérieur de la première région 36.The
Un onglet 40 est également découpé dans le panneau de paroi latérale
10 pour être adjacent à la première région 36. Cet onglet 40 est délimité
par une des lignes de découpe 34 et par une autre ligne de découpe 42 courbe.A
Comme illustré par la figure 4, le flan 6 est réalisé en carton ondulé
comprenant une feuille plane 44, qui formera une face intérieure dans la caisse
3, une feuille cannelée 46 et une feuille plane 48, qui formera une face extérieure
dans la caisse 3.As illustrated in Figure 4, the blank 6 is made of corrugated cardboard
comprising a
La feuille cannelée 46 est située entre les deux feuilles planes 44 et
48. Typiquement, le grammage du carton du flan 6 est compris entre environ
350g/m2 et environ 500g/m2, par exemple d'environ 425g/m2.The
Le flan 6 comprend une bande de renfort 50 rectiligne qui s'Ă©tend
sur toute la longueur du panneau de paroi latérale 10 et des volets 16 adjacents.
Cette bande 50 s'étend dans la région 36 et donc sur toute sa longueur. La
bande 50 est disposée entre la feuille plane 44 et la feuille cannelée 46 du flan 6.
Cette bande 50 est par exemple réalisée en fibres de polypropylène enduites de
colle. Elle a été insérée entre la feuille plane 44 et la feuille cannelée 46 lors du
procédé de fabrication du carton du flan 6.The blank 6 comprises a straight reinforcing
Cette bande 50 est orthogonale Ă la direction dans laquelle les
cannelures 52 de la feuille cannelée 46 s'étendent.This
Pour former la caisse 3 de la figure 2 Ă partir du flan 6 de la figure
3, on plie les panneaux 10 et 12 par rapport au panneau de paroi inférieure 8
grâce aux lignes 14 jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient orthogonaux au panneau 8. On replie
ensuite les volets 16 et les volets 20 vers l'intérieur du panneau de paroi inférieure.To form the box 3 of figure 2 from the blank 6 of figure
3, the
On fait ensuite pivoter les panneaux de parois latérales 24 pour
qu'ils soient orthogonaux au panneau de paroi inférieure 8. On colle ensuite les
volets 16 et 20 par leurs faces extérieures sur les faces intérieures des premières
zones 30 des panneaux des parois latérales 24.The
La caisse 3 ainsi obtenue comprend une paroi inférieure ou fond 8,
deux grandes parois latérales opposées 10 et 12 et deux petites parois latérales
opposées 54. Les parois 54 sont formées chacune par un panneau 24 et les volets
16 et 20 correspondants. Les parois latérales 10, 12 et 54 forment une ceinture
56 s'étendant continûment sur tout le pourtour du fond 8.The body 3 thus obtained comprises a bottom wall or bottom 8,
two large
Les parois latérales 10, 12 et 54 et le fond 8 délimitent ensemble
quatre trièdres situés chacun dans un angle du fond 8. En particulier, les parois
8, 10 et 54 définissent deux trièdres T1 et T2 situés en avant sur la figure 2.The
Les parois latérales 10, 12 et 54 sont venues de matière avec la paroi
inférieure 8 le long des lignes de pliage 14 et 26. Les parois latérales 54 sont
venues de matière d'une part avec la paroi latérale 10 le long des lignes de
pliage 18, et d'autre part avec la paroi latérale 12 le long des lignes de pliage 22.The
Ainsi, les parois latérales 10, 12 et 54 et la paroi inférieure 8 sont
reliées rigidement les unes aux autres.Thus, the
La coiffe 4, illustrée plus particulièrement par la figure 5, est obtenue
à partir d'un flan de carton 60, préalablement découpé et muni de raines et
illustré par la figure 6.The
Le flan 60 est symétrique par rapport à un axe longitudinal médian orienté verticalement sur la figure 6.The blank 60 is symmetrical with respect to a median longitudinal axis oriented vertically in Figure 6.
Le flan 60 comprend un panneau de paroi supérieure 62 rectangulaire
prolongé au niveau de ses grands côtés, c'est-à -dire vers le haut et vers le
bas sur la figure 6, par des panneaux de parois inclinées 64, puis par deux panneaux
de parois latérales respectivement 66 et 67, et enfin par deux rabats 68.The blank 60 includes a rectangular
Les panneaux de parois inclinées 64 sont reliés au panneau 62 par
deux lignes de pliage 70 horizontales (comme vu sur la figure 6). Ces panneaux
64 sont en forme de trapèze isocèle divergeant vers l'extérieur du flan 60.The
Les panneaux de parois latérales 66 et 67 sont reliés par deux lignes
de pliage 72 horizontales (comme vu sur la figure 6) aux panneaux 64. Les
panneaux 66 et 67 sont rectangulaires.The
Les rabats 68 sont reliés aux panneaux de parois latérales 66 et 67
par des lignes de découpe interrompues 74 formant lignes de pliage. Ces lignes
74 sont horizontales sur la figure 6. Les rabats 68 sont légèrement convergents
vers l'extérieur du flan 60.The
Les panneaux 64 sont prolongés vers la droite et vers la gauche sur
la figure 6, c'est-à -dire au niveau de leurs bords inclinés, par des volets 76 de
forme sensiblement triangulaire. Chaque volet 76 est relié au panneau 64
correspondant par une ligne de pliage 78 oblique.The
Le panneau de paroi supérieure 62 est prolongé au niveau de ses
petits côtés, c'est-à -dire vers la droite et vers la gauche sur la figure 6, par des
rabats 80 en forme de trapèze isocèle divergeant vers l'extérieur.The
Ces rabats 80 sont reliés au panneau de paroi supérieure 62 par
des lignes de pliage 82 verticales (comme vu sur la figure 6).These
Enfin, des découpes sont prévues dans le panneau 62 pour y délimiter
un losange 84 destiné à être déchiré, après enfoncement de deux onglets
86 découpés dans les rabats 80 et situés dans des angles opposés du losange
84, pour permettre d'accéder aux récipients 2 recouverts par la coiffe 4 dans
l'emballage 1.Finally, cutouts are provided in
Le flan 60 est symétrique par rapport à un axe médian transversal, orienté horizontalement sur la figure 6, sauf pour ce qui va être décrit par la suite.The blank 60 is symmetrical with respect to a transverse median axis, oriented horizontally in Figure 6, except for what will be described later.
Deux lignes de découpe interrompues 88 longitudinales sont ménagées
dans le panneau de paroi latérale 67 (en bas sur la figure 6).Two interrupted
Deux courtes lignes de découpe interrompues 90 transversales relient
les lignes 88, à faible distance de leurs extrémités 92. Les lignes 88 et 90
délimitent entre elles une deuxième région 94 en forme de bande et dont les extrémités
sont divergentes. Cette deuxième région 94 est prolongée à ses extrémités
par des volets 96 délimités par les extrémités 92 des lignes 88 et par les
lignes 90. Ces volets 96 sont articulés au reste du panneau de paroi latérale 67
par des lignes de pliage 97 verticales (comme vu sur la figure 6).Two short interrupted 90 transverse cutting lines connect
Un onglet 98 est découpé dans le panneau 67 au voisinage de la
deuxième région 94. Cet onglet 96 est délimité par une des deux lignes 88 et par
une ligne de découpe 99 courbe. Cet onglet 98 est adjacent à la deuxième région
94.A
Le carton utilisé pour former le flan 60 est un carton compact, c'est-à -dire
non-ondulé. Ainsi, ce carton 60 comprend par exemple plusieurs couches
ou feuilles planes superposées.The cardboard used to form the blank 60 is a compact cardboard, that is to say
non-corrugated. Thus, this
Typiquement, le carton utilisé pour le flan 60 a un grammage compris entre environ 250g/m2 et environ 400g/m2 et par exemple d'environ 360g/m2.Typically, the cardboard used for the blank 60 has a basis weight between about 250g / m 2 and about 400g / m 2 and for example about 360 g / m 2.
Pour former la coiffe 4, on fait pivoter, grâce aux lignes de pliage 70
et 72, les panneaux de parois inclinées 64 et les panneaux de parois latérales 66
et 67 vers le bas par rapport au panneau de paroi supérieure 62.To form the
On replie ensuite les volets 76 vers l'intérieur du panneau de paroi
supérieure 62 grâce aux lignes de pliage 78. On fait ensuite pivoter les rabats 80
vers le bas grâce aux lignes de pliage 82, puis on colle les volets 76 par leurs
faces externes sur la face interne des rabats 80.The
Les rabats d'extrémité 68 sont repliés vers l'intérieur du panneau de
parois supérieures 62 grâce aux lignes de pliage 74.The end flaps 68 are folded towards the inside of the panel.
Ainsi, les rabats 68 sont sensiblement parallèles à la paroi supérieure
62 et les parois latérales 66 et 67 sont sensiblement orthogonales à la paroi
supérieure 62. Les parois 64 et les rabats 80 sont inclinées d'un angle inférieur
à 90° par rapport à la paroi supérieure 62.Thus, the
Dans l'emballage 1 de la figure 1, les récipients 2 sont disposés
dans la caisse 3 et prennent appui sur sa paroi inférieure 8 par leurs fonds ou
extrémités inférieures.In the packaging 1 of FIG. 1, the
Les récipients 2 prennent appui sur la paroi supérieure 62 de la
coiffe 4 par leurs goulots ou extrémités supérieures.The
La caisse 3 et la coiffe 4 sont fixées l'une à l'autre par :
- collage des rabats 68 de la coiffe 4 sous la paroi inférieure 8 de la caisse 3,
- collage des rabats 80 de la coiffe 4 sur les deuxièmes
zones 32 des parois latérales 54 de la caisse 3,ces zones 32 étant repliées légèrement vers l'intérieur de la caisse 3, grâce aux lignes de pliage 28 (figure 2), pour suivre l'inclinaison des rabats 80, - collage de la paroi latérale 66 de la coiffe 4 sur la paroi latérale 12 de la caisse 3, et
- collage de la paroi latérale 67 de la coiffe 4 sur la paroi latérale 10 de la caisse 3.
- bonding of the
flaps 68 of thecover 4 under thelower wall 8 of the box 3, - bonding of the
flaps 80 of thecover 4 on thesecond zones 32 of theside walls 54 of the box 3, thesezones 32 being folded slightly towards the inside of the box 3, thanks to the fold lines 28 (FIG. 2), to follow the inclination of theflaps 80, - bonding of the
side wall 66 of thecover 4 on theside wall 12 of the box 3, and - bonding of the
side wall 67 of thecover 4 on theside wall 10 of the box 3.
Plus précisément, la paroi latérale 67 de la coiffe 4 est collée à la
paroi latérale 10 de la caisse 3 d'une part sous les première et deuxième régions
36 et 94, et d'autre part au dessus de ces régions 36 et 94. Un collage est également
assuré entre les régions 36 et 94 qui se chevauchent, la deuxième région
94 ayant des dimensions supérieures à celles de la première région 36 comme
on le voit sur la figure 1.More specifically, the
Quand un consommateur enfonce les onglets 98 et 40 qui se chevauchent
également, il peut saisir la première région 36 de la caisse 3 et la
deuxième région 94 de la coiffe 4 et les tirer vers l'extérieur. Le panneau latéral
10 de la caisse 3 (figure 2) se rompt alors le long des lignes 34 et le panneau
latéral 67 de la coiffe 4 (figure 5) se rompt le long des lignes de découpe 88 et
90.When a consumer presses overlapping
La deuxième région 94 se détache alors du reste du panneau 67 et
suit la première région 36 vers l'extérieur de l'emballage 1. Les régions 36 et 94
forment alors une poignée de saisie 100 (figure 1) en saillie par rapport au reste
de l'emballage 1.The
Comme on le voit sur la figure 7 pour l'extrémité 38 gauche de la
première région 36 de la poignée 100, les extrémités 38 épousent alors en partie
les parois latérales 102 des récipients 2 disposés dans les coins ou trièdres
avant T1 et T2 (figure 2) de la caisse 3. Cela est obtenu grâce au fait que les
extrémités 38 de la première région 36 s'étendent dans les parois 54 vers
l'arrière au-delà des axes longitudinaux A des récipients 2 placés dans les coins
T1 et T2.As seen in Figure 7 for the
Ainsi, quand un effort de traction est exercé sur la poignée 100, ces
extrémités 38 sont appliquées contre les parois latérales 102 des récipients 2
situés dans les coins T1 et T2 et tendent à les repousser vers l'intérieur de
l'emballage 1.Thus, when a tensile force is exerted on the
On a constaté que l'emballage 1 résiste particulièrement bien aux opérations de saisie de la poignée 100 et de transport.It has been found that the packaging 1 is particularly resistant to handle 100 and transport operations.
Cela est notamment dû aux caractéristiques suivantes ;
- présence d'un organe de renfort 50 intégré au carton de la caisse 3,
- découpage de la première région 36 dans trois panneaux latéraux 10 et 54 adjacents de la caisse 3, ces trois panneaux étant liés rigidement les uns aux autres et à la paroi inférieure 8 de la caisse 3,
- utilisation d'un carton ondulé et donc résistant pour former la caisse 3,
- coopération des extrémités 38 de la poignée 100 avec les récipients 2 situés dans les coins T1 et T2 de la caisse 3, cette coopération limitant les concentrations de contraintes,
- présence de rebroussements 35 prévus aux extrémités des lignes de découpe 34 délimitant la première région 36 dans la caisse 3,
- utilisation d'une caisse 3 comprenant une ceinture de parois latérales 56 bordant latéralement les récipients 2 sur tout le pourtour de la paroi inférieure 8 de la caisse 3.
- presence of a reinforcing
member 50 integrated into the carton of the box 3, - cutting of the
first region 36 in three 10 and 54 adjacent to the body 3, these three panels being rigidly connected to each other and to theside panels bottom wall 8 of the body 3, - use of corrugated and therefore resistant cardboard to form the box 3,
- cooperation of the
ends 38 of thehandle 100 with thecontainers 2 located in the corners T1 and T2 of the body 3, this cooperation limiting the concentrations of stresses, - presence of
cusps 35 provided at the ends of thecutting lines 34 delimiting thefirst region 36 in the body 3, - use of a box 3 comprising a belt of
side walls 56 laterally bordering thecontainers 2 around the entire periphery of thebottom wall 8 of the box 3.
On notera que ces caractĂ©ristiques peuvent ĂŞtre utilisĂ©es indĂ©pendamment les unes des autres pour accroĂtre la rĂ©sistance de l'emballage 1.Note that these characteristics can be used independently from each other to increase the resistance of the packaging 1.
En ce qui concerne la coopération des extrémités 38 de la poignée
100 avec les récipients 2, on notera que cette caractéristique peut être obtenue
sans que les extrémités 38 s'étendent dans les parois 54 au-delà des axes longitudinaux
A des récipients 2. C'est en particulier le cas lorsque les récipients ont
une section différente de la section circulaire représentée sur la figure 7, par
exemple une section polygonale. Il suffit alors que les extrémités 38 s'étendent
suffisamment dans les parois latérales 54 pour venir, lorsqu'un consommateur
saisit la poignée, s'appliquer contre les parois latérales 102 des récipients 2 disposés
dans les coins T1 et T2.Regarding the cooperation of the
En outre, l'emballage 1 induit des coûts réduits. Cela est dû notamment aux caractéristiques suivantes :
- utilisation d'un matériau moins résistant et moins coûteux pour la coiffe 4 que pour la caisse 3, la caisse 3 assurant la majorité de la reprise des efforts lors des opérations de saisie de la poignée 100 et de transport de l'emballage 1,
- intégration de la bande de renfort 50 dans le carton de la caisse 3 lors du procédé de fabrication de ce carton et non dans une étape ultérieure de fabrication de l'emballage 1,
- réalisation de l'emballage 1 en deux parties distinctes initialement séparées.
- use of a less resistant and less expensive material for the
cover 4 than for the box 3, the box 3 ensuring the majority of the recovery of forces during operations for gripping thehandle 100 and transporting the packaging 1, - integration of the reinforcing
strip 50 into the cardboard box 3 during the manufacturing process of this cardboard and not in a subsequent step of manufacturing the packaging 1, - realization of the packaging 1 in two distinct parts initially separated.
Plus précisément, l'emballage 1 étant réalisé en deux parties distinctes
3 et 4, on peut fournir les flans 6 et 60 correspondants à plat à une société
possédant une machine de mise en volume de ces flans. En raison de la taille
réduite de ces flans, une telle machine est simple et de coût réduit.More specifically, the packaging 1 being produced in two
Par ailleurs, les flans 6 sont moins coûteux à conditionner et à livrer
que les fourreaux de l'état de la technique qui nécessitent un conditionnement
particulier en caisse.Furthermore, the
Au contraire, les flans 6 et 60 peuvent être stockés sur des palettes
en sortie des machines de découpe et d'impression de flans 6 et 60.On the contrary, the
Les coûts logistiques liés à l'emballage 1 sont donc réduits.The logistics costs associated with packaging 1 are therefore reduced.
On notera que d'autres couples de matériaux qu'un carton ondulé
et un carton compact permettent de réduire le coût global de l'emballage 1 en
utilisant un matériau moins coûteux pour la coiffe 4 que pour la caisse 3.Note that other pairs of materials than corrugated cardboard
and a compact carton reduce the overall cost of packaging 1 by
using a less expensive material for the
Ainsi, l'emballage 1 permet de conditionner à faibles coûts un nombre
important de bouteilles de bières. Typiquement, l'emballage 1 permet de
conditionner un groupe de vingt quatre bouteilles 2 réparties en quatre rangées
de six bouteilles.Thus, the packaging 1 makes it possible to condition at low cost a number
important beer bottles. Typically, the packaging 1 makes it possible to
condition a group of twenty four
La figure 8 illustre une variante de l'emballage 1 de la figure 1 dans
laquelle les volets 76 de la coiffe 3 sont reliés aux rabats 80 par des lignes de
pliage 103 obliques. Chaque volet 76 est partagé en deux par une ligne de
pliage 104 oblique. Les volets 76 forment ainsi des goussets que l'on replie Ă
l'intérieur de la coiffe 3 et que l'on colle sur les rabats 80 pour atteindre la structure
des figures 1 et 5. FIG. 8 illustrates a variant of the packaging 1 of FIG. 1 in
which the
Dans une autre variante non représentée, la paroi supérieure 62 de
la coiffe 3 comprend un réseau d'ouvertures de passage des extrémités supérieures
des récipients 2.In another variant not shown, the
Les figures 9 et 10 illustrent un deuxième mode de réalisation de
l'invention selon lequel la poignée 100 est prévue sur une petite paroi latérale 54
de la caisse 3 et non plus sur la paroi latérale 10 de la caisse 3 et sur la paroi
latérale 67 de la coiffe 4.Figures 9 and 10 illustrate a second embodiment of
the invention according to which the
Ainsi, et comme on le voit sur la figure 10, le flan 6 utilisé pour former
la caisse 3 ne comprend plus de volets 16 et 20.Thus, and as seen in FIG. 10, the blank 6 used to form
box 3 no longer includes
En revanche, les panneaux de parois latérales 24 sont prolongés
au niveau de leurs petits côtés, c'est-à -dire vers le haut et vers le bas sur la figure
10, par des volets 105 en forme de trapèze rectangle.On the other hand, the
Ces volets 105 sont reliés chacun au panneau 24 correspondant
par une ligne de pliage 106 horizontale sur la figure 10.These
La première région 36, et donc les lignes de découpe interrompues
34, s'Ă©tendent transversalement dans le panneau 24 droit (comme vu sur la figure
10) et dans les volets 105 correspondants. De même, l'onglet 40 est ménagé
dans le mĂŞme panneau 24.The
Dans ce mode de réalisation, et comme on le voit sur la figure 9, la
poignée 100 est formée simplement par la première région 36. On notera que la
coiffe 4 ne comporte plus de deuxième région 94.In this embodiment, and as seen in FIG. 9, the
On notera Ă©galement que l'orientation des cannelures du carton du
flan 6 a été modifiée par rapport à celle de la figure 3, de manière à assurer que
l'organe de renfort 50 soit orthogonal Ă la direction selon laquelle les cannelures
s'Ă©tendent.It will also be noted that the orientation of the cardboard grooves of the
blank 6 has been modified from that in Figure 3, so as to ensure that
the reinforcing
Dans ce mode de réalisation, les extrémités 38 de la poignée 100
coopèrent avec les récipients 2 disposés dans les coins droits de la caisse 3,
comme décrit précédemment.In this embodiment, the ends 38 of the
Ainsi, l'emballage selon le deuxième mode de réalisation permet
également de conditionner un nombre important de récipients 2 avec des coûts
réduits.Thus, the packaging according to the second embodiment allows
also to package a large number of
Typiquement, le nombre de récipients 2 que l'emballage 1 selon ce
deuxième mode de réalisation peut conditionner est inférieur à celui que
l'emballage des figures 1 Ă 8 peut conditionner. Ainsi, l'emballage 1 selon le
deuxième mode de réalisation peut conditionner un groupe de douze bouteilles
