Abstract

The pack consists of a semi-cylindrical cradle (2) with alternating sections having parallel lengthwise axes that are offset vertically to make for easier counting of contents. The cradle has two folding side wings (4), each with a cover (6) in the shape of a segment of a cylinder made to overlap one another to close the pack. The underside of the cradle has a flat ridge (16) to stand it on.

Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention se rapporte aux emballages réutilisables pour jetons ou pièces de monnaie.The invention relates to reusable packaging for tokens or coins.

État de la techniqueState of the art

On connaít par WO 9705799 des étuis pour la manipulation de monnaie formés de deux berceaux semi-cylindriques renforcés de raidisseurs.WO 9705799 is known for cases for handling coin made of two semi-cylindrical cradles reinforced with stiffeners.

On connaít par FR-2 057 449 et DE-34 04 486 des monnayeurs dans lesquels, pour la facilité du comptage, les pièces sont rangées en épis, par séries décalés alternativement à gauche et à droite. Le même principe est utilisé dans EP 1 262 927 pour des emballages formés de deux semi-berceaux, présentant également des séries latéralement décalés.We know by FR-2 057 449 and DE-34 04 486 coin acceptors in which, for ease of counting, the pieces are arranged in spikes, in series shifted alternately to left and right. The same principle is used in EP 1 262,927 for packages made up of two semi-cradles, also having laterally offset series.

Pour faire baisser le coût unitaire de ces emballages, on s'efforce de les réaliser en utilisant le moins possible de matière plastique. On doit donc réaliser un équilibre délicat entre la solidité de l'emballage et son épaisseur. En conséquence, surtout s'ils ne sont pas complètement remplis, la plupart des emballages offrent une faible résistance aux chocs et aux torsions, d'où pertes de temps non négligeable lors des manipulations et notamment les ouvertures et les fermetures. En outre, dans EP 1 262 927, la présence d'une charnière axiale empêche un maintien ferme des pièces ou jetons et tend à les faire basculer, empêchant un rangement rationnel.To lower the unit cost of these packages, we strive to achieve them using as little as possible of plastic. So we have to strike a balance delicate between the strength of the packaging and its thickness. As a result, especially if they are not completely filled, most packages offer low impact and twist resistance, resulting in loss of time not negligible during handling and in particular openings and closings. Furthermore, in EP 1 262 927, the presence of an axial hinge prevents holding closes coins or tokens and tends to topple them, preventing rational storage.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

Le but de l'invention est la mise sur le marché d'emballages à la fois robustes et bon marché, supportant des cadences de production élevées, plus stables et facilitant le comptage par un bon maintien des pièces.The object of the invention is the placing on the market packaging that is both robust and inexpensive, supporting high, more stable production rates and making counting easier by keeping the pieces well.

Un autre but de l'invention est de pouvoir avoir recours efficacement à des matériaux plastiques moins courants tels que le PLA.Another object of the invention is to be able to have less efficient use of plastic materials currents such as PLA.

A cette fin, l' emballage réutilisable selon l'invention comprend

  • un berceau sensiblement semi-cylindrique, propre au maintien de pièces ou jetons, formé par l'alternance d'une première série de tronçons semi-cylindriques d'axe commun, sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan des pièces ou jetons, et d'une deuxième série de tronçons semi-cylindriques d'axe commun, en retrait vertical par rapport à la première série, les axes de la première et de la deuxième série étant parallèles . Deux ailes rabattables sont disposées longitudinalement de part et d'autre du berceau. Ces ailes, en caisson, sont articulées par rapport au berceau. L'extrémité libre de chacune de ces ailes est raccordée, de façon articulée à un couvercle en segment cylindrique formé par l'alternance d'une première série de tronçons de segments cylindriques d'axe commun, perpendiculaire au plan des pièces ou jetons, et d'une deuxième série de tronçons de segments cylindriques d'axe commun, en retrait vertical par rapport à la première série. Les axes de la première et de la deuxième série de tronçons de segments sont parallèles, les couvercles correspondant à chacune des ailes étant mutuellement emboítables.
To this end, the reusable packaging according to the invention comprises
  • a substantially semi-cylindrical cradle, suitable for holding coins or tokens, formed by the alternation of a first series of semi-cylindrical sections of common axis, substantially perpendicular to the plane of the coins or tokens, and a second series semi-cylindrical sections of common axis, set back vertically with respect to the first series, the axes of the first and second series being parallel. Two folding wings are arranged longitudinally on either side of the cradle. These boxed wings are articulated with respect to the cradle. The free end of each of these wings is connected, in an articulated manner to a cover in cylindrical segment formed by the alternation of a first series of sections of cylindrical segments of common axis, perpendicular to the plane of the coins or tokens, and of a second series of sections of cylindrical segments of common axis, set back vertically with respect to the first series. The axes of the first and second series of segment sections are parallel, the covers corresponding to each of the wings being mutually nestable.

Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, les couvercles comprennent chacun une saillie longitudinale, les saillies des deux couvercles étant mutuellement emboítables. Ces saillies emboítables jouent à la fois un rôle de système de fermeture et de caisson amortisseur. According to a preferred embodiment, the covers each include a longitudinal projection, the projections of the two covers being mutually nestable. These nestable projections both act as a system of closing and damping box.

Suivant un mode de réalisation avantageux, au moins un plot emboítable, mâle et femelle, est disposé sur la série en retrait des tronçons de segment des couvercles.According to an advantageous embodiment, at least one nestable stud, male and female, is arranged on the series set back from the segment segments of the covers.

Suivant un autre mode de réalisation avantageux au moins les tronçons de la deuxième série du berceau englobent les pièces ou jetons sur au moins 180°. En outre, les tronçons de la première série du berceau peuvent également englober les pièces ou jetons sur au moins 180°.According to another advantageous embodiment in minus the sections of the second series of the cradle include coins or tokens at least 180 °. In addition, the sections of the first series of the cradle can also include coins or tokens at least 180 °.

Le berceau comprend de préférence une assise en caisson s'étendant sur toute sa longueur. Il subsiste de préférence un intervalle entre le fond de ce caisson et la base des pièces ou jetons, lorsqu'ils sont en place, de façon à ce que le caisson joue un rôle d'amortisseur de choc.The cradle preferably includes a seat in box extending over its entire length. There are still preferably an interval between the bottom of this box and the base of coins or tokens, when in place, so that the box acts as a shock absorber shock.

Au moins un des couvercles comprend, de façon avantageuse , une languette longitudinale qui permet une ouverture aisée de l'emballage après qu'il ait été refermé.At least one of the covers includes, so advantageous, a longitudinal tongue which allows a easy opening of the packaging after it has been closed.

    Description détaillée de modes de réalisation particuliersDetailed description of particular embodiments

    L' emballage réutilisable pour jetons ou pièces de monnaie montré à la Fig. 1 comprend essentiellement un berceau 2 sensiblement semi-cylindrique auquel se rattachent deux ailes 4 en caisson disposées longitudinalement. L'extrémité libre des ailes est raccordée à deux couvercles 6 en segment de cylindre.Reusable packaging for tokens or coins shown in Fig. 1 essentially includes a cradle 2 substantially semi-cylindrical to which two wings 4 in box arranged longitudinally. The end free of the wings is connected to two covers 6 in cylinder segment.

    Tout ces éléments (2, 4, 6) sont articulés les uns par rapport aux autres de façon à pouvoir encercler les pièces disposées dans le berceau, les faces de ces pièces ou jetons étant ainsi dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe du berceau.All these elements (2, 4, 6) are articulated one by relation to others so that you can circle the pieces arranged in the cradle, the faces of these parts or tokens thus being in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cradle.

    Le berceau est subdivisé en deux séries de tronçons semi-cylindriques accolés en alternance.The cradle is subdivided into two series of semi-cylindrical sections joined together alternately.

    Une première série de tronçons 8 alignés suivant un axe longitudinal X1 commun, et une deuxième série de tronçons 10 alignés suivant un deuxième axe X2, décalé verticalement vers le bas par rapport à l'axe X1 de la première série 8.A first series of sections 8 aligned along a common longitudinal axis X 1 , and a second series of sections 10 aligned along a second axis X 2 , vertically offset downward relative to the axis X 1 of the first series 8.

    Le berceau 2 épouse par ailleurs la courbure ou la forme extérieure des pièces ou jetons auxquels l'emballage est destiné. Les pièces étant rangées dans le berceau 2 ouvert se présentant donc par paquets décalés alternativement vers le haut et vers le bas. Le nombre de pièces au jetons par paquet est déterminé, bien sûr, en fonction de la facilité de comptage.The cradle 2 also follows the curvature or the shape outside of the coins or tokens to which the packaging is intended. The parts being stored in the open cradle 2 thus presenting themselves in packets shifted alternately towards up and down. The number of coins tokens per package is determined, of course, depending on the ease count.

    Le décalage des pièces placées dans le berceau se retrouve sur les deux couvercles 6, qui sont destinés à s'emboíter en se chevauchant mutuellement. The offset of the parts placed in the cradle is found on the two covers 6, which are intended to fit together overlapping each other.

    Chacun des couvercles 6 comprend donc une première série de tronçons 12 de segments cylindriques d'axe commun Y1 et une deuxième série de tronçons 14 de segments d'axe commun Y2 décalé vers le haut par rapport à Y1 lorsque l'emballage est, commun ici, en position déployée. Comme représenté sur les deux figures, la partie du couvercle correspondant à la première série 12 est ici pratiquement plane lorsque l'emballage est ouvert. Il va de soi, cependant, que sa courbure peut être plus ou moins marquée suivant les dimensions des pièces etc.Each of the covers 6 therefore comprises a first series of sections 12 of cylindrical segments of common axis Y 1 and a second series of sections 14 of segments of common axis Y 2 offset upwards relative to Y 1 when the packaging is , common here, in the deployed position. As shown in the two figures, the part of the cover corresponding to the first series 12 is here practically flat when the packaging is opened. It goes without saying, however, that its curvature can be more or less marked depending on the dimensions of the pieces, etc.

    La Fig. 2 permet de mieux appréhender une autre série de caractéristiques de l'emballage de l'invention.Fig. 2 provides a better understanding of another series of characteristics of the packaging of the invention.

    La rigidité de l'emballage et sa tenue aux chocs est assurée par une série d'éléments renforçant agissant à la fois comme des poutrelles longitudinales et comme des éléments amortisseurs en cas de choc ou de chute de l'emballage partiellement ou totalement rempli. Cette disposition permet, toutes choses étant par ailleurs égales, de diminuer l'épaisseur de la matière plastique utilisée. Le premier de ces éléments est l'assise 16, en caisson, du berceau, laquelle s'étend pratiquement sur toute la longueur de l'emballage. Suivant le mode de réalisation représenté ici, on constate qu'un léger intervalle (entre 0.5 et 2 mm environ)a été aménagé entre le fond des tronçons de la deuxième série 10 et le fond de l'assise 16. Les ailes 4 jouent le même rôle : elles forment chacune un caisson sensiblement en forme de parallélépipède, ouvert vers l'intérieur de l'emballage, susceptible de reprendre et d'atténuer les chocs. Les couvercles, enfin, sont pourvus chacun d'une crête ou cimier 18 également en caisson qui s'étend pratiquement sur toute leur longueur. On notera que les cimiers 18 assurent également une fonction de fermeture en s'encastrant l'un dans l'autre au moment où l'on ferme l'emballage. Ils peuvent d'ailleurs à cet égard présenter une légère conicité inversée, comme cela est connu par ailleurs de l'homme de métier. La conception des couvercles avec cimier 18 offre sur les fermetures à plots classiques deux avantages sensibles : ils sont plus solides, ce qui accroít le taux de réutilisation de l'emballage, et ils permettent une cadence de production plus élevée. Pour la facilité de l'ouverture et de la fermeture, l'ordre de chevauchement des couvercles est inversable (gauche sur droite ou droite sur gauche).The rigidity of the packaging and its impact resistance is ensured by a series of reinforcing elements acting at the times like longitudinal beams and like shock absorbers in the event of an impact or a fall the packaging partially or completely filled. This disposition allows, all things being otherwise equal, decrease the thickness of the plastic used. The first of these elements is the seat 16, in box, from the cradle, which extends practically over the entire length of the package. Depending on the mode of realization shown here, we see that a slight interval (between 0.5 and 2 mm approximately) has been arranged between the bottom of the sections of the second series 10 and the bottom of the seat 16. The wings 4 play the same role: they each form a box substantially in the form of parallelepiped, open towards the inside of the packaging, likely to resume and mitigate shocks. The covers, finally, are each provided with a crest or crest 18 also in box which extends practically on their entire length. Note that the crests 18 provide also a closing function by fitting one in the other when you close the packaging. They may in this regard present a slight reverse taper, as is known elsewhere the skilled person. The design of lids with crest 18 offer on classic stud closures two appreciable advantages: they are more solid, which increases the reuse rate of the packaging, and they allow a higher production rate. For the ease of opening and closing, overlapping order covers is reversible (left on right or right on the left).

    Un avantage indirect de ces éléments en caissons est que l'on dispose de surfaces planes de dimensions importantes pour y placer des indications relatives à l'emballage, au type de pièces auquel il est destiné, etc.An indirect advantage of these elements in boxes is that we have flat surfaces of large dimensions to place information on the packaging, type of parts for which it is intended, etc.

    Outre la présence d'un cimier 18, on peut prévoir celle de plots emboítables (non représentés) pour assurer la fermeture des couvercles 6.In addition to the presence of a crest 18, we can foresee that of nestable studs (not shown) to ensure closing the covers 6.

    Un désavantage des fermetures à plots est que ces derniers se déforment aisément à la fermeture, surtout s'ils sont mal engagés. Il devient donc de plus en plus difficile de les ouvrir sans les abímer. On a donc prévu un moyen simple mais efficace pour résoudre ce problème, qui revêt la forme d'une ou deux languettes 20 de préhension attenant aux couvercles 6.A disadvantage of stud closures is that they easily deform when closed, especially if they are badly engaged. It becomes more and more difficult to open them without damaging them. So we provided a simple way but effective in solving this problem, which takes the form one or two gripping tabs 20 attached to the covers 6.

    Le berceau, les ailes et les couvercles tirent un parti maximum des propriétés d'élongation des plastiques. On remarquera aussi que le berceau est plus profond que celui d'emballages antérieurs : les pièces les plus basses y sont encastrées sur au moins 180°. Il peut en aller de même pour les pièces les plus hautes qui sont alors enfoncées sur près de 180° ou plus.Cradle, wings and lids take advantage maximum elongation properties of plastics. We will also notice that the cradle is deeper than that previous packaging: the lowest parts are there recessed at least 180 °. The same can be said for the tallest parts which are then pushed into close to 180 ° or more.

    Un autre avantage de l'emballage de l'invention est que son encombrement est réduit par rapport, notamment, à EP 1 262 927 : sa largeur correspond à celle des pièces emballées, et sa hauteur est limitée par l'intégration du cimier 18 dans les creux du couvercle. Il est donc plus facile à empiler, et il peut surtout être réalisé à partir d'un flan de plastique de surface plus réduite. Pour une surface de moule identique, la productivité en sera donc accrue. Cette productivité accrue compense une différence de coût par rapport à des polymères plus onéreux, comme le PET, l'APET ou le PLA. Ce dernier, produit à partir d'acide lactique, est largement biodégradable et donc moins polluant pour l'environnement.Another advantage of the packaging of the invention is that its space requirement is reduced compared with, in particular, to EP 1 262 927: its width corresponds to that of the packaged parts, and its height is limited by the integration of the crest 18 in the recesses of the cover. So it's easier to stack, and it can mostly be made from a blank of smaller surface plastic. For an area of identical mold, productivity will therefore be increased. This increased productivity compensates for a difference in cost compared to more expensive polymers like PET, APET or PLA. The latter, produced from acid lactic, is largely biodegradable and therefore less polluting for the environment.
