Definitions

  • Packaging is known, especially for food products that can be opened by separation using a precut with a closed contour.
  • the consumer can collect successively the bags to consume them on the spot or in another place.
  • the U.S. Patent No. 3,167,240 (COLLURA ) relates to a package whose size can be halved by cutting along precut lines. Half of the content is removed and the pre-cut parts are discarded. There is no provision for protecting products picked up during transport.
  • the invention proposes a package containing consumption units, which are pouches, and having a body extending in a longitudinal direction and having at least three sides, the package having at least one end , a separable element allowing the opening of the package, as defined in claim 1.
  • the independent package is formed from the body of the original packaging, it can receive one or more of the products contained therein, and after closure of the closure flap, the independent package can be used for the transport for example of a biscuit pouch for the snack of a child.
  • the size of the independent packaging can be chosen to allow the transport of more than one pouch, for example two or more, up to a third of the number of pouches including biscuits.
  • the independent package may include said bottom of the package and a portion adjacent to said bottom of each of said sides, the edge of at least one said portion of at least one of the sides extending with a closure flap of the package independent, this flap being articulated to a straight portion of the precut contour which is located on said edge.
  • the closed pre-cut contour is not, on two opposite sides of the body of the package, parallel to the bottom.
  • the package has three sides and the flap has three sides, one of which is articulated to a straight portion of an edge of a said portion of an adjacent side.
  • the triangular flap has substantially the same contour as the bottom of the package.
  • At least one of the other sides of the triangular flap may be extended by an auxiliary flap.
  • the package comprises four sides.
  • At least one side of the package may be at least partially curved.
  • the figure 1 represents a four-sided packaging, here parallelepiped type 1, for example a box of biscuits which contains biscuit pouches.
  • the body 10 of the package has two opposite main faces 14 and 15 and two opposite lateral faces 11 and 12. These faces are hinged together by four fold lines 18.
  • a closed-line precut line 20 makes it possible to weaken locally.
  • the material constituting the body 10 of the package 1 in order to detach an independent box 2 able to receive one or more products, for example one of the bags contained in a biscuit package.
  • Pre-cutting can be done by dotted lines as shown, or by a line (continuous or discontinuous) of reduced thickness, or by changing a property of the material so as to weaken it locally.
  • the precut line has two straight lines 21 'and 24' parallel to the bottom 17, and which are arranged respectively on the sides 14 and 15. These two lines are connected on the side 11 by an inclined line 22 and a line 23 carried by the edge 18 common to the sides 11 and 15, and on the side 12 by an inclined line 26 parallel to the inclined line 22 and a line 25 carried by the edge 18 common to the sides 12 and 15.
  • auxiliary box 2 After separation by rotary movement as indicated by the arrow F, there is obtained an auxiliary box 2 whose length is sufficient to contain a pouch, or two pouches, or a third of the total number of pouches of the packet. Depending on the position of the precut, we can size the auxiliary box 2 so that it can contain the desired number of consumption unit, here biscuit pouches.
  • the trace of the precut line 20 gives the edges 21 ', 22', 23 ', 24', 25 'and 26' on the package 1, and the edges 21 ", 22", 23 ", 24", 25 “and 26" on the box 2.
  • the box 2 comprises, besides the bottom 17, a portion 11 2 , 12 2 , 14 2 and 15 2 of each of the sides 11, 12, 14 and 15, which is adjacent to the bottom 17, the portion 2 incorporating a flap of closure 29.
  • the edges 23 ", 24" and 25 "define the closure flap 29 which is articulated around a fold line 27.
  • the box 2 thus obtained is shown in the open position at the figure 1b and closed to figure 1 vs.
  • a cut or precut 28 located in the vicinity of the edge 24 "and in cooperation with the edge 21", it keeps the flap 29 in the folded position ( figure 1c ).
  • the box 2 having the function of protecting the product or products during transport, it is not necessary that (or) the shutter (s) 29 come (s) to completely close the opening of the box 2. It suffices that this opening is covered sufficiently to prevent the products from escaping, and so as to ensure their possible protection, for example for fragile products such as biscuits.
  • the box 2 can be reused several times (at least three times) until the main package 1 is empty. This avoids using for each consumer unit an individual overpack, which would be added to the main package.
  • a blank for the implementation of the packaging of figures 1 a to 1c is represented at figure 2 .
  • the funds 16 and 17 can be conventional, so that the package can also be opened as a conventional packaging (opening by one of the funds 16 or 17) without tearing the precut 20.
  • the precut 26 on this side 12 is in two superposed parts 26 1 , 26 2 .
  • the package 3 has three sides 31, 32, 33 forming a triangle for example equilateral.
  • the precut comprises lines 41 (side 31), 42 (edge 38 1 ), 43 (side 32), 44 (edge 38 2 ) and 45 (side 33).
  • a fold line 46 parallel to the bottom 36 folds the closure flap 49 which is articulated by two secondary flaps 48 by the fold lines 47.
  • a secondary casing 4 having the bottom 36 is obtained. and portions 31 2 to 33 2 of the sides 31 to 33 which are adjacent to this bottom, the portion 32 2 being extended by a closure flap 49.
  • the triangular flap 49 has auxiliary flaps 48 which can engage along the flanges. sides 31 and 33 to maintain the flap 49 in the closed position.
  • the invention also relates to packages having one or more curved sides (convex or concave).
  • the side (or sides) carrying a pane is (are) preferably at least partly planar.
  • At least sides 11 and 12 may be convex.
  • at least the sides 31 and 33 may be convex or concave, in which case the flap 49 defines a curvilinear triangle whose sides 47 are convex or concave.
  • the blank shown at figure 4 has six sides 1 8 to 6 8 hinged together by fold lines 12 8 , 23 8 , 34 8 , 45 8 , and 56 8 .
  • the cutting is carried out according to the precut lines 11 8 , 34 8 , 21 8 , 32 8 , 44 8 , 41 8 , 51 8 and 76, as well as 76 0 (on the gluing lug 10).
  • the other lines (22 8 , 31 8 , 42 8 and 71 to 75) are fold lines.
  • the closure is obtained essentially with the central flap 84 hinged to the 3'-side 8 along the fold line 73, and which is bordered on either side of two pairs of elements, namely on the one hand and 83 and 82 on the other hand 83 and 84.
  • These flaps are hinged to each other (bending lines 22 and 8 42 8) to the central flap 84 (fold lines 23 and 8 34 8), and that to side (2 8, 4 8) of the package, which is adjacent to the 3'-side 8 (fold lines 72 and 74).
  • hinged auxiliary flaps at 71 and 75 at sides 1 8 and 5 8 make it possible to complete the closure.
  • the rounded contour 32 8 defines a closing flap 32 hinged in 31 0 8 to the central flap 84.
  • Such a system combining a central flap bordered by two pairs of flap can be used for packaging having at least four sides.
