Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of conditioning bottles or similar oblong objects in a package in one semi-rigid material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, lacking interstitial wedging members between the bottles.
  • the invention packaging made of a semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard for carrying out this process.
  • bottles are often packed standing in contact with one another in a package according to parallel rows, or lying down in bunk beds, without provide interleaves between them and it is therefore essential that we eliminate any play between the contiguous bottles, in order to eliminate the risks of shocks.
  • it is practically always games between them, which is a source of ongoing incidents of transport.
  • the present invention aims to remedy this drawback by proposing a packaging method capable of eliminating the games between conditioned bottles.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging method bottles or other oblong containers in a single package semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, of the type comprising a bottom portion and side walls abutting this part of the bottom and articulated together by fold lines parallels, two parallel walls comprising at the same end shutters articulated on them by upsets arranged in one and the same plane and adapted to be folded perpendicularly to these walls for form internal flaps, while two other parallel walls have at their corresponding end flaps articulated on they by pushbacks arranged in the same plane and able to be folded perpendicular to these walls to form flaps the external flaps, which are applied against the internal flaps and can to be made solidary by means known in the art, this process comprising placing bottles standing or lying down in the packaging, in contact with each other and / or with the walls contiguous, the flaps being straightened during this installation and being then folded perpendicular to the adjoining walls, to be assembled together, this method being characterized in that
  • pressure can be exerted on the four walls of the packaging, in the vicinity of the flaps, for bring each one closer to the opposite wall, before assembling them the flaps.
  • the deformation of the walls is possible because of the elasticity intrinsic cardboard or corrugated cardboard.
  • Conditioning can be of any type, provided that the part of the walls contiguous to the flaps is able to deform when put pressure on her.
  • the bottom may be any, but it is preferably identical to the opposite part of the packaging.
  • This can be, for example, a usual American fund, but it can also have more than four sidewalls and be example of the type described in French Patent No. 2,780,703 whose Applicant holds.
  • the packaging can be specially adapted to the setting of the above process and include for this purpose at least one external flap divided into two parts by a cutting line perpendicular to the upsetting by which it is articulated on the wall adjacent, this cutting line extending on this wall by a line of cut or initiation of rupture intended to allow the opening conditioning.
  • the cutting line dividing at least one of the flaps external is not equidistant from the walls parallel to it, but is closer to one of them, so that both parties outer flap are not the same length, but one is longer long and extends over the two internal flaps of which it is intended to to be made solidary, while the other part, the shortest, extends only on an internal flap, of which it is destined to be returned solidarity.
  • the packaging shown in FIG. 1 is a simple American box comprising two parallel walls 1 and two walls 2 perpendicular to the walls 1 on which they are articulated by parallel upsets.
  • the flaps 3 and 4 thus folded can be assembled by means known in the art, for example by gluing, by stapling or by adhesive tapes.
  • Bottles are not separated by tabs and are arranged in rows contiguous in contact with each other and / or with the contiguous walls.
  • bottles can be placed in parallel beds on a wall 2 or 3 or stand on this wall.
  • a pressure is exerted according to the arrows F on the parts contiguous to these flaps of two parallel walls, by example the walls 1, to bring them closer to one another and, preferably, according to the parts of all the walls 1 and 2 contiguous to the flaps 3 and 4, to bring them closer to the opposite walls.
  • This pressure is maintained during the flap assembly operation and is not deleted only after this assembly.
  • one of the flaps 4 contiguous to the bottles passes is divided into two equal portions 4 a, 4 b, by a cut line 5 parallel to the walls 1, which extends over the adjoining wall parts of the flaps 4 and 4b by a tear tape 6.
  • the cutting line 5 promotes the approximation pressurized portions 4 a and 4 b flap before joining with the inner flaps 3, while the tear strip 6 allows easy opening of the packaging.
  • a cutting line can naturally be substituted on the wall 2 for the tear strip 6.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show particularly preferred packaging for the implementation of the invention.
  • the cutting line 5 between the portions 4 a and 4 b of the flap 4 is not located midway between the two walls 1, but is shifted towards one of said walls.
  • the flap portion 4 has a longer length extends over the two inner flaps 3, which it can be secured, avoiding any risk of spacing these flaps 3 after joining with the parts 4 a and 4b , when the contiguous parts of the walls 1 are no longer compressed in the direction of one another.
  • the cutting line 5 can extend on the wall 2 contiguous with a tear strip 6 ( Figure 3) or a cut line 7 ( Figure 4) parallel to the walls 1.
