- la figure 8 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif de distribution de cendriers selon l'invention.- Figure 8 is a perspective view of an ashtray distribution device according to the invention.
On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 4 un cendrier jetable selon l'invention, désigné par la référence générale 10.FIGS. 1 to 4 show a disposable ashtray according to the invention, designated by the general reference 10.
Le cendrier 10 comprend un corps constitué par un flan unique 12, en matériau souple. Ce flan 12 est, de préférence, en carton ignifugé biodégradable. Le flan 12 peut être constitué éventuellement d'un matériau multicouche, par exemple en carton revêtu d'aluminium.The ashtray 10 comprises a body constituted by a single blank 12, made of flexible material. This blank 12 is preferably made of fire-retardant biodegradable cardboard. The blank 12 may optionally be made of a multilayer material, for example of cardboard coated with aluminum.
Le flan 12 est facile à imprimer, si bien que sur la face externe et/ou interne du corps du cendrier 10 peut servir avantageusement de support de communication, notamment de support publicitaire. Par ailleurs, la surface externe et/ou interne du corps de cendrier peut être imperméabilisée, par exemple par revêtement par une couche de paraffine. Le flan 12 constitue une paroi qui, dans une configuration d'utilisation du cendrier 10 telle que représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, a une forme générale convergente depuis une première extrémité E1 du corps vers une seconde extrémité E2 de ce corps. La première extrémité E1 du corps est munie d'une ouverture 14 d'accès à l'intérieur de ce corps. La seconde extrémité E2 du corps est susceptible d'être enfoncée dans un matériau meuble tel que du sable ou de la neige.The blank 12 is easy to print, so that on the external and / or internal face of the body of the ashtray 10 can advantageously serve as a communication medium, in particular an advertising medium. Furthermore, the external and / or internal surface of the ashtray body can be waterproofed, for example by coating with a layer of paraffin. The blank 12 constitutes a wall which, in a configuration for using the ashtray 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, has a generally convergent shape from a first end E1 of the body towards a second end E2 of this body. The first end E1 of the body is provided with an opening 14 for access to the interior of this body. The second end E2 of the body is likely to be embedded in a soft material such as sand or snow.
Dans l'exemple illustré, le corps du cendrier 10 a, en configuration d'utilisation, a une forme générale sensiblement conique.In the example illustrated, the body of the ashtray 10 a, in the configuration of use, has a generally substantially conical shape.
Le flan 12 comprend deux découpes 16 formant chacune un support pour un article à fumer, tel qu'une cigarette. En variante, le flan 12 pourrait ne comporter qu'une seule découpe 16 formant support d'article à fumer ou bien plus d'une découpe 16.The blank 12 comprises two cutouts 16 each forming a support for a smoking article, such as a cigarette. As a variant, the blank 12 could have only a single cutout 16 forming a smoking article support or even more than one cutout 16.
En se référant à la figure 5, on voit que le flan 12, lorsqu'il est à plat, a une forme générale de secteur circulaire délimitée radialement par un contour circonférentiel C et angulairement par deux bords radiaux B1 , B2 destinés à être fixés entre eux pour former le corps de forme générale convergente.Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the blank 12, when it is flat, has a general shape of circular sector delimited radially by a circumferential contour C and angularly by two radial edges B1, B2 intended to be fixed between them to form the body of generally convergent shape.
Dans ce qui suit, la description des lignes de pliage du flan 12 sera faite essentiellement en considérant ce flan 12 à plat.In what follows, the description of the fold lines of the blank 12 will be made essentially by considering this blank 12 flat.
Un des bords radiaux, par exemple le bord B1 , comporte une languette de fixation 18 délimitée par une ligne de pliage radiale 20. De préférence, les bords radiaux B1 ,B2 sont fixés entre eux par collage, le bord radial B2 recouvrant la languette de fixation 18, portée par le bord radial B1.One of the radial edges, for example the edge B1, comprises a fixing tongue 18 delimited by a radial fold line 20. Preferably, the radial edges B1, B2 are fixed together by gluing, the radial edge B2 covering the tongue of attachment 18, carried by the radial edge B1.
En variante, les bords radiaux B1.B2 pourraient être fixés entre eux par agrafage ou enchevêtrement.As a variant, the radial edges B1.B2 could be fixed to each other by stapling or entanglement.
Le flan 12 comprend également des moyens d'obturation de l'ouverture d'accès 14.The blank 12 also comprises means for closing the access opening 14.
Ces moyens d'obturation comprennent des premier 22 et second 24 volets, destinés à être rabattus l'un sur l'autre pour obturer l'ouverture d'accès 14, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3 ou 4.These closing means comprise first 22 and second 24 flaps, intended to be folded over one another to close the access opening 14, as shown in FIG. 3 or 4.
On notera, en considérant les figures 1 et 2, que les volets 22,24 délimitent, avant rabattement l'un sur l'autre, l'ouverture d'accès 14. Cette dernière a, avant rabattement des volets 22,24 l'un sur l'autre, un contour sensiblement circulaire.It will be noted, considering Figures 1 and 2, that the flaps 22,24 delimit, before folding one over the other, the access opening 14. The latter has, before folding flaps 22,24 l one over the other, a substantially circular outline.
En se référant à la figure 5, on voit que les deux volets 22,24 s'étendent, respectivement, dans deux parties 12A.12B du flan 12 séparées par un rayon RM sensiblement médian du flan. De préférence, chaque volet 22,24 est délimité sur le flan 12 par une ligne de pliage incurvée 26,28, de courbure sensiblement opposée à la courbure du contour circonférentiel C du flan. Chaque ligne de pliage 26,28 délimitant un volet 22,24 s'étend sensiblement entre un bord radial B1.B2 du flan 12 et le rayon médian RM de ce flan.Referring to Figure 5, we see that the two flaps 22,24 extend, respectively, in two parts 12A.12B of the blank 12 separated by a radius RM substantially median of the blank. Preferably, each flap 22, 24 is delimited on the blank 12 by a curved fold line 26, 28, of curvature substantially opposite to the curvature of the contour. circumferential C of the blank. Each fold line 26, 28 delimiting a flap 22, 24 extends substantially between a radial edge B1.B2 of the blank 12 and the median radius RM of this blank.
Les moyens d'obturation de l'ouverture d'accès 14 comprennent également une languette de fermeture 30 formant un prolongement radial pliable du contour circonférentiel C du flan. Cette languette de fermeture 30 est destinée à être emboîtée dans une fente de fermeture complémentaire 32 ménagée dans le flan 12.The means for closing the access opening 14 also comprise a closing tab 30 forming a foldable radial extension of the circumferential contour C of the blank. This closing tab 30 is intended to be fitted into a complementary closing slot 32 formed in the blank 12.
Dans l'exemple illustré, le premier volet 22 porte la languette de fermeture 30, la fente de fermeture 32 étant ménagée dans le second volet 24. La fente de fermeture 32 a, de préférence, une forme générale incurvée, en considérant le flan 12 à plat, la fente 32 s'incurvant dans le même sens que le contour circonférentiel C.In the example illustrated, the first flap 22 carries the closing tab 30, the closing slit 32 being formed in the second flap 24. The closing slit 32 preferably has a generally curved shape, considering the blank 12 flat, the slot 32 curving in the same direction as the circumferential contour C.
Le second volet 24 porte deux prolongements radiaux pliables 34 du contour circonférentiel C. Une découpe 16 de support d'article à fumer est ménagée dans chacun de ces prolongements 34.The second flap 24 carries two foldable radial extensions 34 of the circumferential contour C. A cutout 16 for supporting a smoking article is provided in each of these extensions 34.
On notera que chaque découpe 16 est ménagée en partie dans le volet 24 et en partie dans le prolongement 34.It will be noted that each cutout 16 is formed partly in the shutter 24 and partly in the extension 34.
On notera également que les prolongements 34 comportant les découpes 16 sont, dans les conditions normales d'utilisation du cendrier 10, rabattus vers l'extrémité d'enfoncement E2 du cendrier, comme cela est représenté sur les figures 1 et 2. En effet, cette position rabattue des prolongements 34 est bien adaptée à la réception d'un article à fumer.It will also be noted that the extensions 34 comprising the cutouts 16 are, under the normal conditions of use of the ashtray 10, folded towards the insertion end E2 of the ashtray, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Indeed, this folded position of the extensions 34 is well suited to receiving a smoking article.
Le cendrier 10 selon l'invention peut être distribué à plat, dans une configuration pliée telle que représentée sur la figure 6.The ashtray 10 according to the invention can be distributed flat, in a folded configuration as shown in FIG. 6.
Dans cette configuration, les bords radiaux B1 ,B2 sont fixés entre eux. Le flan 12 est plié de façon que les deux parties 12A.12B du flan se recouvrent. Le pliage du cendrier 10 dans la configuration représentée sur la figure 6 est facilité par la ligne de pliage 20 et une ligne de pliage radiale médiane 36 coïncidant avec le rayon RM.In this configuration, the radial edges B1, B2 are fixed to each other. The blank 12 is folded so that the two parts 12A.12B of the blank overlap. The folding of the ashtray 10 in the configuration shown in FIG. 6 is facilitated by the folding line 20 and a median radial folding line 36 coinciding with the radius RM.
Le cendrier 10 peut également être distribué en étant logé dans un paquet 38 d'articles à fumer tel que le paquet de cigarettes représenté sur la figure 7. Dans ce cas, on réalise une opération de pliage supplémentaire du cendrier 10 par rapport à la configuration représentée sur la figure 6 pour obtenir la configuration représentée sur la figure 7.The ashtray 10 can also be distributed while being housed in a packet 38 of smoking articles such as the packet of cigarettes shown in FIG. 7. In this case, an additional folding operation of the ashtray 10 is carried out compared to the configuration. shown in Figure 6 to obtain the configuration shown in Figure 7.
Cette dernière opération de pliage est, de préférence, facilitée par une ligne de pliage 40 s'étendant, en considérant le flan 12 à plat, sensiblement perpendiculairement au rayon médian RM. La ligne de pliage 40 permet de plier le cendrier 10 de façon à faire sensiblement coïncider le sommet du flan 12 avec une extrémité du contour circonférentiel C.This last folding operation is preferably facilitated by a folding line 40 extending, considering the blank 12 flat, substantially perpendicular to the median radius RM. The fold line 40 makes it possible to fold the ashtray 10 so as to make the top of the blank 12 substantially coincide with one end of the circumferential contour C.
Le cas échéant, les prolongements radiaux 30,34 peuvent être plies de façon à les rabattre radialement vers l'intérieur du flan 12 pour réduire l'encombrement du cendrier plié 10 afin de permettre de le loger dans le paquet 38.If necessary, the radial extensions 30, 34 can be folded so as to fold them radially towards the inside of the blank 12 to reduce the size of the folded ashtray 10 so as to allow it to be housed in the package 38.
De préférence, au moins une partie des lignes de pliage du flan 12 est réalisée par rainage.Preferably, at least part of the fold lines of the blank 12 is produced by creasing.
Partant de la configuration pliée représentée sur la figure 6, le cendrier 10 est simple à utiliser.Starting from the folded configuration shown in Figure 6, the ashtray 10 is simple to use.
Tout d'abord, l'utilisateur écarte les deux parties 12A.12B du flan l'une de l'autre de façon à donner une forme générale conique au cendrier 12. De préférence, des amorces 42 de lignes de pliage radiales sont ménagées à partir du sommet du flan 12.First of all, the user separates the two parts 12A.12B of the blank from one another so as to give a general conical shape to the ashtray 12. Preferably, primers 42 of radial fold lines are provided at from the top of the blank 12.
Ces amorces de lignes de pliage 42 facilitent la mise en forme de cône du cendrier 12 en agissant sur l'extrémité d'enfoncement E2 du cendrier.These primers of fold lines 42 facilitate the shaping of the ashtray cone 12 by acting on the driving end E2 of the ashtray.
L'utilisateur rabat ensuite les prolongements 34, comme cela est représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, pour permettre la mise en place d'un article à fumer sur une découpe 16.The user then folds down the extensions 34, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, to allow the placement of a smoking article on a blank 16.
L'extrémité d'enfoncement E2 du cendrier 10 est enfoncée dans un matériau meuble, tel que le sable d'une plage.The embedding end E2 of the ashtray 10 is embedded in a soft material, such as beach sand.
Après utilisation du cendrier 10, l'utilisateur ferme ce dernier en rabattant les volets 22,24 l'un sur l'autre et en emboîtant la languette de fermeture 30 dans la fente de fermeture 32.After using the ashtray 10, the user closes the latter by folding the flaps 22, 24 one over the other and fitting the closing tab 30 into the closing slot 32.
On notera que l'élasticité naturelle du matériau souple constituant le flan 12 a tendance à maintenir les volets 22,24 dans leur position rabattue.It will be noted that the natural elasticity of the flexible material constituting the blank 12 tends to keep the flaps 22, 24 in their folded position.
On notera également que la fermeture de l'orifice d'accès 14 peut être réalisée soit en rabattant le premier volet 22 sur le second volet 24, la languette de fermeture 30 s'étendant, à travers la fente 32, à l'intérieur du cendrier 12, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3, soit en rabattant le second volet 24 sur le premier volet 22, la languette 30 s'étendant à travers la fente 32 vers l'extérieur du cendrier 10. Dans l'agencement de la figure 3, la languette 30 et les prolongements 34 sont masqués. Dans l'agencement de la figure 4, la languette 30 et les prolongements 34 sont apparents.It will also be noted that the access orifice 14 can be closed either by folding the first flap 22 over the second flap 24, the closing tab 30 extending through the slot 32 inside the ashtray 12, as shown in FIG. 3, either by folding the second flap 24 over the first flap 22, the tongue 30 extending through the slot 32 towards the outside of the ashtray 10. In the arrangement of the Figure 3, the tongue 30 and the extensions 34 are hidden. In the arrangement of Figure 4, the tongue 30 and the extensions 34 are apparent.
Après utilisation et fermeture du cendrier 10, celui-ci pourra être jeté sans risque de déversement inopiné des cendres contenues dans le cendrier. Sur la figure 8, on a représenté un dispositif 44 de distribution de cendriers 10 tels que celui représenté sur les figures précédentes. Ce dispositif 44 comprend une paire de tubes identiques 46 de stockage et de distribution des cendriers 10, s'étendant sensiblement verticalement. On notera que les cendriers 10, de forme générale convergente, sont facilement empilables par emboîtement les uns dans les autres. Dans ce qui suit, on ne décrira qu'un seul des tubes 46 dans lequel les cendriers 10 sont emboîtés les uns dans les autres.After use and closing of the ashtray 10, it can be thrown away without risk of unexpected spillage of the ashes contained in the ashtray. In Figure 8, there is shown a device 44 for dispensing ashtrays 10 such as that shown in the previous figures. This device 44 comprises a pair of identical tubes 46 for storing and distributing the ashtrays 10, extending substantially vertically. It will be noted that the ashtrays 10, of generally convergent shape, are easily stackable by nesting into each other. In what follows, only one of the tubes 46 will be described in which the ashtrays 10 are nested one inside the other.
Le tube 46 comprend une extrémité 48 de distribution des cendriers 10, à travers laquelle l'extrémité d'enfoncement E2 d'un premier cendrier 10 fait saillie à l'extérieur du tube 46. L'extrémité de distribution 48 est munie d'un épaulement 50 de retenue du premier cendrier 10 faisant saillie à l'extérieur du tube 44. Cet épaulement 50 est destiné à coopérer avec les prolongements pliables 34 rabattus vers l'extrémité d'enfoncement 62 du cendrier.The tube 46 comprises an end 48 for distributing the ashtrays 10, through which the insertion end E2 of a first ashtray 10 projects outside the tube 46. The distribution end 48 is provided with a shoulder 50 for retaining the first ashtray 10 projecting from the outside of the tube 44. This shoulder 50 is intended to cooperate with the foldable extensions 34 folded down towards the driving end 62 of the ashtray.
En variante, l'épaulement 50 pourrait coopérer avec le prolongement 30, formant languette de fermeture, rabattu, comme les prolongements 34, vers l'extrémité d'enfoncement E2 du cendrier.As a variant, the shoulder 50 could cooperate with the extension 30, forming a closing tongue, folded down, like the extensions 34, towards the insertion end E2 of the ashtray.
Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite s'emparer d'un cendrier 10, il tire sur l'extrémité d'enfoncement E2 du premier cendrier 10, vers le bas, ce qui a pour effet de déformer les prolongements pliables 34 coopérant avec l'épaulement 50, afin de leur permettre de franchir cet épaulement 50 et de libérer le cendrier 10.When the user wishes to take hold of an ashtray 10, he pulls down on the insertion end E2 of the first ashtray 10, which has the effect of deforming the foldable extensions 34 cooperating with the shoulder 50 , in order to allow them to cross this shoulder 50 and to release the ashtray 10.
Parmi les avantages de l'invention, on notera que le cendrier 10 est très simple à fabriquer à partir d'un flan unique 12.Among the advantages of the invention, it will be noted that the ashtray 10 is very simple to manufacture from a single blank 12.
Par ailleurs, le cendrier 12 peut être distribué selon des modes très divers, notamment des modes de distribution adaptés à des produits plats, comme l'insertion du flan 12, plié ou non, dans les pages d'un journal ou d'un magazine.Furthermore, the ashtray 12 can be distributed according to very different modes, in particular distribution methods adapted to flat products, such as the insertion of the blank 12, folded or not, in the pages of a newspaper or magazine .
Par ailleurs, le cendrier 10 usagé, en carton, peut être facilement traité en tant que déchet biodégradable et/ou recyclable. Furthermore, the used ashtray 10, made of cardboard, can be easily treated as biodegradable and / or recyclable waste.
