Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for closing and locking the outer flaps of a packaging made of a semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard.
  • the invention also relates to packages made of a semi-rigid material comprising this locking system, such a package is described in US 6,135,347 and corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention aims to provide a locking system in position of these outer flaps, which can be implemented easily, manually or mechanically, without increased consumption of the material, semi-rigid used.
  • the subject of the invention is a package made of a semi-rigid material of the type defined above, characterized in that the internal flaps have dimensions such that only an outer flap comes into contact with them in the folded position, while that the other outer flap is not only hinged by a creasing on a wall of the package, but is also; adjoining next, its side edges perpendicular to this upsetting to the two contiguous walls by means of a bellows-forming articulation, each articulation comprising a portion articulated by an upstanding along a lateral edge of the outer flap and able to be brought in the same plane as the adjacent internal flap.
  • the two parts of the bellows being hinged together by an upstanding at an angle of 45 ° with the lateral edge of the outer flap and with the upper edge of the contiguous wall, so as to be folded against each other and against the outer face of this contiguous wall when the outer flap is brought into the folded position perpendicularly to the associated wall
  • the portion of the bellows hinged to the contiguous wall comprising a T-shaped locking lug, ui, in the folded position of the bellows against the contiguous wall, is opposite an opening of this wall, the dimensions of this opening being such that the portion of the tab corresponding to the head of the T must be deformed to be introduced therein , then resume its original shape by elasticity, to be locked in position, also locking the corresponding outer flap in the folded position.
  • this outer flap has dimensions such that in the folded position, it overlaps on the other outer flap in the folded position and thus keeps it locked in this position.
  • the T-shaped tab is hinged to the adjoining part of the bellows by an upset, allowing to fold the tab against the inner face of the contiguous wall, after introduction into the opening thereof, to ensure a better locking of the paw inside the package.
  • the opening for receiving the locking lug may be a gripping cut formed in the usual manner in the corresponding wall.
  • a retractable flap articulated by a recess on this wall, can be provided to close the opening in which is engaged the locking tab to increase the safety of this lock.
  • the bottom of the packaging was not figured because it can be absolutely any (automatic bottom, semi-automatic, flaps, etc ).
  • This package comprises four rectangular walls hinged together by parallel upsets, namely two longitudinal walls 1 and two transverse walls 2 perpendicular to the previous, the four walls being perpendicular to the bottom and adjacent to parts thereof.
  • Two rectangular flaps 3 are hinged to the upper part of the walls 1 by upsetting perpendicular to those by which the walls 1 and 2 are hinged together.
  • the shutters 3 and 4 can thus be folded perpendicular to the adjoining walls to close the package and, in this position, the flaps 3 are above the flaps 4. This is why the flaps 3 are called external flaps and flaps 4 internal flaps.
  • the internal flaps 4 are usually articulated on the walls 2 along the entire length of these walls, but here, for the reasons that will be explained below, they extend only along about a part of this length and only one external flaps 3 comes to their contact in the folded position.
  • the other flap 3 is connected to each wall 2 contiguous by a bellows hinge, which comprises a first portion 5, articulated by an upstanding along a side edge of the flap 3, and a second, part 6, hinged to the upper part of the wall 2 contiguous by an upsetting arranged in the extension of that by which the inner flap 4 contiguous is hinged to the same wall 2.
  • the parts 5 and 6 are hinged together by a 45 ° angle with those by which these parts 5 and 6 are hinged to the flap 3 and the wall 2. It is thus possible to fold the parts 5 and 6 against each other and against the face external wall 2, while bringing the outer flap 3 in the closed position, folded perpendicularly to the wall 1.
  • the parts 5 and 6 are cut portions in the usual internal flaps which extend along the entire upper part of the walls 2, and that the embodiment of the bellows thus consumes no more corrugated cardboard than the internal flaps of the technique.
  • a tab 7 T-shaped is cut in the portion 5 of the bellows joint, in a position such that, when the flap 3 is in the folded position, with the bellows folded outside the wall 2, this tab 7 is opposite an opening 8 formed in corresponding position in this wall 2.
  • the dimensions of the opening 8 are such that the ends of the bar T of the tab 7 must be folded to be introduced into the opening, these ends then returning to their original position due to the elasticity of the carton, and thus locking the tab 7 inside the package.
  • the flap 3 adjoining the bellows is thus locked in the folded position and, as its dimensions are such that, in this position, it covers the contiguous portion of the second flap 3, also in the folded position, it is also locked in this portion.
  • upsets may be provided on the T bar of the tabs 7 to promote their introduction into the associated openings 8.
  • the tabs 7 are themselves hinged on the part 5 of the bellows by an upsetting facilitating their introduction into the openings 8 and to bring them in contact with the inner face of the corresponding wall 2, to improve the security lock.
  • the openings 8 can be simple gripping cuts, as already exists on the packaging.
  • each cutout 8 can be closed off by a shutter 9 of complementary shape, articulated by an upstanding along an edge of the cutout and able to retract into the inside of the package to let the locking lug 7, to then return substantially to its initial position and prevent any accidental release of this lug outside the package.

  1. Verpackung aus einem halbsteifen Material wie z.B. Karton oder Wellpappe, wobei die Verpackung enthält:
    einen oder mehrere Bodenabschnitte,
    vier Seitenwände (1, 2), die gelenkig an den Bodenabschnitten abgebracht sind und senkrecht zu diesen sind, wobei die Seitenwände (1, 2) dieselbe Höhe mit Bezug auf die Bodenabschnitte aufweisen und jede von ihnen senkrecht zu den angrenzenden Wänden ist,
    zwei Verschlussklappen (4) mit kleinen Abmessungen, die über Knickstellen gelenkig an dem oberen Abschnitt von zwei parallelen Wänden (2) angebracht und daran angepasst sind, in eine Position senkrecht zu diesen Wänden gebracht zu werden, wobei sie Innenklappen bilden, und
    zwei Verschlussklappen (3) mit größeren Abmessungen, die über Knickstellen gelenkig an dem oberen Abschnitt der zwei anderen Wänden (1) angebracht und daran angepasst sind, in eine Position senkrecht zu diesen Wänden gebracht zu werden, wobei sie Außenklappen bilden, die in Kontakt mit den Klappen (4) kommen und diese bedecken;
