Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sheath of a semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard for the protection and wedging of an oblong object, in particular a bottle, inside a packaging.
  • the invention also relates to a blank precut and repressed, a semi-rigid material for the realization of this sleeve.
  • the bottle During transport and handling, the bottle must be protected against external shocks received by the packaging. It must, moreover, be perfectly wedged inside of it.
  • a device made of a semi-rigid material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, for the protection and setting of a bottle inside a packaging this device comprising four substantially rectangular panels adjoining each other by substantially parallel longitudinal crimps, so as to be folded around the bottle, in contact therewith, to form a protective sheath of this bottle, this device being characterized in that it comprises, at each end of each said panels, a first flap adjoining the associated panel by at least one transverse fold line substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal fold lines, this first flap can thus be folded against the outer face of the adjoining panel not facing the bottle, to form an extra thickness outside this panel and thus avoid direct contact between this panel and the packaging.
  • the flaps arranged at the ends of the panels may be adjoined to each other laterally by fold lines arranged in line with those by which the panels are adjacent to each other.
  • the first flap adjoining each end of the panels is extended by a second flap, adjacent to the first flap by at least one fold line perpendicular to the longitudinal fold lines between panels, so as to be folded and pinched between the first associated flap and the outer face of the corresponding panel.
  • the second flaps can be attached laterally to each other by fold lines arranged in the extension of those by which the panels are adjacent to each other, while, to facilitate the shaping of the device, a cut can advantageously laterally separate the first shutters contiguous.
  • This locking means may be of any type known per se, but in a particularly simple embodiment, at least one lug is cut in a first panel of the sheath having a free longitudinal edge, while in a panel contiguous to the previous and also having a free longitudinal edge, is provided at least one cutout intended to receive the tab of the first folded panel towards the inside of the sheath against the face of the panel to which it is attached, the shape and dimensions of the cutout being such that the associated tab can be engaged only after being warped or otherwise deformed, the tab then taking up its original shape due to the relative elasticity of the cardboard, to be locked in position by the cut.
  • the tab and the cutout may have for example the general shape of a T , and the tab may in particular be hinged to the panel from which it is derived by a push parallel to those by which the panels are hinged together.
  • This mode of locking is particularly advantageous, since the tab and the cut-out intended to receive it are formed in panels of the sheath and therefore do not consume any additional quantity of semi-rigid material.
  • the tab can be deformed manually to be introduced into the cut and the locking of the sleeve is particularly easy to implement.
  • the present invention relates to a sheath of the same general type, but equipped with shutters adapted to close the ends of the sheath corresponding to the bottom and neck of the bottle.
  • the invention also aims to provide in one of these components a wedging means in position of the neck of the bottle.
  • the invention aims to provide a sheath of this type adapted to adapt to bottles whose body and / or neck have different diameters.
  • the flap intended to be applied against the inner face of the panel opposite to the fifth panel may comprise a transverse upset, for straightening the end of this flap perpendicular to the various panels, so as to close the corresponding end of the sleeve.
  • this additional flap may be formed one or more cuts joining the fold line by which it is articulated on the adjoining flap, this fold line may also include a cut line in order to allow this component to deform, to adapt to the diameter of the bottom of the oblong conditioned object.
  • the fifth flap adjacent to that in which a cutout is formed and which is applied against the inner face of an opposite panel of the sheath may advantageously be locked in position by a tongue protruding perpendicularly from this panel towards the inside of the sheath.
  • a locking member in particular a tongue, may advantageously be cut in the panel against an inner face of which the fifth panel is applied and articulated to the one from which it is obtained by a folding line parallel to those by which the panels are hinged together, so that they can be folded inwardly of the sheath through a cutout in the fifth panel and engaged after warping or bending in a smaller size cutout in the panel adjoining the fifth panel, to project outwardly from the sheath.
  • the blank pre-cut and repressed in a semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated board from which the sheath according to the invention is derived is another object of this invention.
  • the corrugated cardboard blank shown in FIG. 1 comprises four identical rectangular panels, 1, articulated together along their longitudinal edges by parallel upsets 2, making it possible to fold up all the panels. 1 perpendicularly to each other around a bottle not shown.
  • a first part 3 At each end of the panels is pivotally mounted a first part 3, around two parallel Upset 4, 4b, perpendicular to Upset 2.
  • first sections 3 are extended by a second flap 6 hinged to the previous one by two parallel Upset 7, 7b, perpendicular to the lines 2 and separated by a narrow strip.
  • the second flaps 6 are folded against the first associated flaps 3, the flaps 3 are then folded against the face of the panels 1 not turned inwardly of the sleeve formed by these panels, to pinch and the shutters 6 between the shutters 3 and the panels 1.
  • the shutters 6 and folded associated with a panel 1 are hinged to the flaps 6 contiguous and they thus hold each other in position, due to the elasticity of the corrugated board, without any Lock system.
  • the flaps 6 are preferably hinged together by fold lines disposed in the extension of the ups and downs 2, while the adjacent flaps 3 are separated by cutouts 8, to facilitate the folding of the flaps.
  • a fifth panel 9 is articulated on one of the panels 1 by a fold line 10 parallel to the ups and downs 2 and is straightened perpendicularly to this panel 1 to come against the inner face of a panel 1 contiguous to the previous one, in the mounted position of the sheath.
  • a flap 11 is hinged by a transverse fold line perpendicular to Upset 2 and 10 and disposed substantially at the level of lines 4 a, 4 b, this flap 11 having such dimensions that after being straightened perpendicularly to 9 panel, it at least partially closes the sleeve at the bottom of the bottle to be packaged in this sleeve.
  • a flap 12 is articulated by a transverse fold line, that is to say perpendicular to the ups and downs 2, this flap 12 being intended to be engaged in the sleeve by the corresponding end thereof to come to bear against the inner face of the panel 1 opposite the panel 5, in order to lock the flap 11 in transverse position.
  • a transverse fold line that is to say perpendicular to the ups and downs 2
  • this flap 12 being intended to be engaged in the sleeve by the corresponding end thereof to come to bear against the inner face of the panel 1 opposite the panel 5, in order to lock the flap 11 in transverse position.
  • it can be divided into two parts 12 a, 12 b, by a folding line perpendicular to Upset 2.
  • the portion 12a can comprise a cutting line 13 parallel to Upset 2, while cut line 14 is formed in the central portion of upsetting by which the flap 11 and the portion 12 has are articulated between them. Obliquely arranged ups and downs furthermore bring together the ends of the cutting lines 13 and 14, all this to provide the flap 12 with a possibility of deformation in order to adapt to bottoms of bottles of different diameters.
  • a flap 15 having a cutout 16 intended to receive the neck of the bottle packaged in the sleeve is articulated by a fold line perpendicular to the upsets 2, to straighten the flap 15 transversely to the inside the sheath.
  • a flap 17 articulated on the shutter 15 by a fold line perpendicular to the upsets 2 is applied inside the sleeve against the inner face of the panel 1 opposite the panel 9, in order to lock the flap 15 in position perpendicular to the panel 9.
  • This flap itself comes into abutment against a tongue 18 protruding inwardly from the sleeve from the panel 1 opposite the panel 9. It could, of course, use another flap blocking means 17 , from the latter or the panel 1 opposite the panel 9, to maintain the rectified position.
  • cutting lines starting from the cutout 6 and diverging towards the outside thereof allow it to adapt to bottle necks of different diameters.
  • the flap 17 may optionally comprise a transverse fold line 26 delimiting at its end a portion of dimensions substantially equal to those of the inner section of the sleeve, so as to straighten this end portion perpendicular to the portion of the flap 17 applied against the flap 1, to seal the corresponding end of the sleeve.
  • the part of the shutter 17 closing the sheath can be locked by any means known in the art, for example by a tongue of the same type as the tongue 18, projecting inwardly of the sheath from the panel 1 opposite the one against which is applied the panel 9 and under which will engage the free end of the folded end portion of the flap 17.
  • a tear strip 20 (see FIG. 1) can possibly extend transversely on the panels 1.
  • a tab 21, here T-shaped is cut in the panel 1 against which is applied the panel 9 and articulated on the panel 1 by a fold line parallel to the upsets 2, so as to it can be folded inwardly of the sheath through a cutout 22 formed in the corresponding position in the panel 9.
  • This lug 21 is then engaged by folding or by the warping in a cutout 23 of smaller dimensions, to project towards the outside of the sheath and thus be locked in position.
  • the flaps 6 adjacent the flaps 3 are first folded against these flaps 3, which are themselves folded towards the panels 1.
  • the panels 1 are then folded to be brought perpendicular to each other, while simultaneously the panel 9 is brought against the adjoining panel 1 to which it is not attached, that the flaps 11 and 12 are brought into their final position inside the sheath, as well as the flaps 15 and 17 ( Figures 4 to 7).
  • the tab 21 is then folded, first towards the inside of the sheath through the cutout 22 of the panel 9, and then outwards, through the cutout 23 of the panel 1 from which it is derived, to lock the sheath in position assembly (Figure 7).
  • the sleeve 24, held vertically in a package 25 open at its upper part, in which it is housed in position, can be easily introduced. vertical, without the bottle contained in this sheath may escape in this position.
  • FIG. 8 The packaging illustrated in FIG. 8 is only given by way of example and it can be of absolutely any type and contain a single bottle housed in a sheath according to the invention or a plurality of bottles housed in containers. separate sleeves.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 In the embodiment variant of the sheath according to the invention illustrated by FIGS. 9 and 10, on which the members already described are designated by the same reference numerals, a shutter locking member 3 and 6 in the folded position against the panel 1 partner is expected.
  • This locking member 30 has the shape of an arrow, the rod is articulated by a fold line, at its end farthest from the tip, on two adjacent panels 6, while the tip is disposed in the blank of departure between the two flaps 3 associated with these flaps 6 and is directed towards the cutout 8, which separates these flaps 3 and extends between the associated panels 1.
