Description

La présente invention a pour objet un emballage de forme cylindrique, notamment pour biscuits.The present invention relates to a cylindrical packaging, especially for biscuits.

Les emballages classiquement utilisés présentent en général un fond plat, ce qui fait que leur forme est relativement peu attrayante, ou du moins peu susceptible de variations attrayantes.Conventionally used packages generally have a flat bottom, so that their shape is relatively unattractive, or at least unlikely to attractive variations.

Un tel emballage, mais avec un fond non plat, est décrit dans le document EP626317.Such a package, but with a non-flat bottom, is described in EP626317.

La présente invention a pour objet un concept d'emballage cylindrique ayant notamment un fond de forme plus attrayante, et qui peut être fabriqué sans complication notable.The subject of the present invention is a cylindrical packaging concept having in particular a more attractive form bottom, and which can be manufactured without significant complication.

La présente invention concerne ainsi un emballage de forme cylindrique, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte :

  • un premier et un deuxième demi-panneau principal venant en contact ou en recouvrement partiel entre un premier et sur un deuxième bord opposé au premier bord pour définir un corps cylindrique de l'emballage ;
  • chacun des premier et deuxième demi-panneaux présentant respectivement un troisième et un quatrième bords opposé au troisième bord lesdits troisièmes bords définissant un premier fond de l'emballage, et lesdits quatrièmes bords définissant un deuxième fond de l'emballage ;
  • le troisième bord des premier et deuxième demi-panneaux étant articulé par une ligne de pliage à un panneau de fond comportant un premier, un deuxième, un troisième et un quatrième volets d'articulation, entre le panneau de fond et les premier et deuxième demi-panneaux, et éventuellement un panneau central, le premier et le troisième volets d'articulation étant adjacents au premier demi-panneau alors que le deuxième et le quatrième volets d'articulation sont adjacents au deuxième demi-panneau. Le panneau central du panneau de fond est délimité par :
  • un premier et un deuxième segments de droite situés dans une région centrale d'un premier bord respectivement des premier et deuxième demi-panneaux ;
  • et par des premier, deuxième, troisième et quatrième arcs concaves qui se raccordent à une extrémité desdits premier et deuxième segments de droite, en s'éloignant du troisième bord du panneau correspondant pour articuler les volets d'articulation au panneau central.
The present invention thus relates to a cylindrical packaging, characterized in that it comprises:
  • first and second main half-panels engaging or partially overlapping between a first and a second edge opposite the first edge to define a cylindrical body of the package;
  • each of the first and second half panels respectively having third and fourth edges opposite the third edge, said third edges defining a first bottom of the package, and said fourth edges defining a second bottom of the package;
  • the third edge of the first and second half-panels being articulated by a fold line to a bottom panel having first, second, third and fourth articulation flaps, between the bottom panel and the first and second half -panels, and possibly a central panel, the first and third hinge flaps being adjacent to the first half-panel while the second and fourth hinge flaps are adjacent to the second half-panel. The central panel of the bottom panel is delimited by:
  • first and second line segments located in a central region of a first edge respectively of the first and second half-panels;
  • and first, second, third and fourth concave arcs which connect to one end of said first and second line segments, away from the third edge of the corresponding panel to articulate the hinge flaps to the central panel.

Lorsqu'il n'y a pas de panneau de fond, les arcs concaves se reccordent sur le premier bord du demi-panneau correspondant.When there is no bottom panel, the concave arches are reconnected to the first edge of the corresponding half-panel.

Chacun desdits volets d'articulation est délimité par un dit arc concave et par une portion d'un premier bord situé dans le prolongement d'un dit segment de droite, pour articuler les volets d'articulation auxdits demi-panneaux, l'arc concave de chacun des volets d'articulation venant en contact avec une surface interne de l'emballage pour conférer à celui-ci une forme cylindrique.Each of said articulation flaps is delimited by a said concave arc and by a portion of a first edge located in the extension of a said right segment, to articulate the hinge flaps to said half-panels, the concave arc each of the hinge flaps coming into contact with an inner surface of the package to give it a cylindrical shape.

Selon une variante avantageuse, l'emballage est caractérisé en ce que le premier volet d'articulation s'étend jusqu'au premier bord du premier demi-panneau alors que le deuxième volet d'articulation ne s'étend pas jusqu'au premier bord du deuxième demi-panneau, ce qui laisse subsister une extrémité libre du deuxième demi-panneau et en ce que cette extrémité libre est engagée entre ledit premier volet d'articulation et le premier demi-panneau.According to an advantageous variant, the package is characterized in that the first hinge flap extends to the first edge of the first half-panel while the second hinge flap does not extend to the first edge the second half-panel, which leaves a free end of the second half-panel and in that this free end is engaged between said first hinge flap and the first half-panel.

La ligne de pliage 13 du demi-panneau 1 comporte un segment central 130 qui borde la région centrale 45 et de part et d'autre de ce segment 130, deux segments 131 et 132 qui bordent respectivement les volets 31 et 33, pour les articuler au demi-panneau 1.The fold line 13 of the half-panel 1 has a central segment 13 0 bordering the central region 45 and on either side of this segment 13 0, two segments 13 1 and 13 2 which respectively border the shutters 31 and 33 , to articulate them to the half-panel 1.

La ligne de pliage 23 du demi-panneau 2 comporte un segment central 230 qui borde la région centrale 45 et de part et d'autre de ce segment deux segments 231 et 232 qui bordent respectivement les volets 32 et 34 pour les articuler au demi-panneau 2.The fold line 23 of the half-panel 2 comprises a central segment 23 0 which borders the central region 45 and on either side of this segment two segments 23 1 and 23 2 respectively bordering the flaps 32 and 34 to articulate them. at the half panel 2.

Les volets 32 et 34 (ou bien en variante non représentée les volets 31 et 34) ne s'étendent pas jusqu'aux bords correspondants 21 et 22 du demi-panneau 2. Leurs bords 321 et 342 laissent subsister des segments libres 2311 et 2322 qui définissent deux régions d'extrémité 25 et 26 que l'on peut insérer entre le premier volet et la face interne du demi-panneau 1 lors de la formation de l'emballage. Pour les volets 31 et 33 dont les bords 311 et 332 sont sensiblement dans le prolongement des bords 11 et 12 du demi-panneau 1, il est prévu un bord 313 et 333 espacé des régions d'extrémité libres 43 et 44.The flaps 32 and 34 (or alternatively not shown the flaps 31 and 34) do not extend to the corresponding edges 21 and 22 of the half-panel 2. Their edges 32 1 and 34 2 leave open segments 23 11 and 23, 22 which define two end regions 25 and 26 that can be inserted between the first pane and the inner face of the half-panel 1 during formation of the package. For the flaps 31 and 33 whose edges 31 1 and 33 2 are substantially in the extension of the edges 11 and 12 of the half-panel 1, there is provided an edge 31 3 and 33 3 spaced free end regions 43 and 44 .

Un élément de fermeture 5 est articulé au bord 24 du demi-panneau 2 qui est opposé au bord 23. L'élément de fermeture 5 comporte quatre volets d'articulation 51 à 54 ainsi qu'un panneau central 50 comportant une région centrale 55 et deux panneaux latéraux 56 et 57, dont il est séparé par les lignes de prédécoupe 58 et 59 qui se prolongent en 582 et 592 jusqu'à une patte d'arrachage 60 pourvue d'une région de préhension 65 éventuellement pourvue d'une ouverture 66. Le bord 24 comporte un segment central 240 qui articule la région centrale 55 au demi-panneau 2, et de part et d'autre, deux lignes de pliage 241 et 242 servant d'articulation entre les volets d'articulation 51 et 53 et le demi-panneau 2.A closure element 5 is hinged to the edge 24 of the half-panel 2 which is opposite the edge 23. The closure element 5 comprises four articulation flaps 51 to 54 and a central panel 50 comprising a central region 55 and two side panels 56 and 57, from which it is separated by the precut lines 58 and 59 which extend at 58 2 and 59 2 to a tear tab 60 provided with a gripping region 65 optionally provided with a opening 66. The edge 24 comprises a central segment 24 0 which articulates the central region 55 to the half-panel 2, and on either side, two fold lines 24 1 and 24 2 serving as a hinge between the flaps. articulation 51 and 53 and the half-panel 2.

Les volets d'articulation 51 et 53 sont également articulés au panneau central 5 par un arc concave 611 qui se prolonge en direction du bord 561 par une ligne de découpe 612, et par un arc concave 631 qui se prolonge en direction du bord 572 par une ligne de découpe 632.The hinge flaps 51 and 53 are also articulated to the central panel 5 by a concave arc 61 1 which extends in the direction of the edge 56 1 by a cutting line 61 2 , and a concave arc 63 1 which extends towards the edge 57 2 by a cutting line 63 2 .

Comme pour les volets 32 et 34, les bords 511 et 531 des volets 51 et 53 ne sont pas dans le prolongement des bords 21 et 22, ce qui laisse des bords libres 2411 et 2422 dans deux coins du demi-panneau 2, en prolongement des lignes d'articulation 241 et 242, et dégage des extrémités libres 27 et 28 dans deux coins du demi-panneau 2.As for the flaps 32 and 34, the edges 51 1 and 53 1 of the flaps 51 and 53 are not in the extension of the edges 21 and 22, leaving free edges 24 11 and 24 22 in two corners of the half-panel 2, in extension of the hinge lines 24 1 and 24 2 , and releases free ends 27 and 28 in two corners of the half-panel 2.

Les volets d'articulation 52 et 54 sont articulés d'une part au panneau central 5 par des arcs concaves 621 et 641 qui se prolongent en direction des extrémités 561 et 572 par des lignes de découpe 622 et 643, et d'autre part à la patte de collage 66 par une ligne de pliage 61 qui s'étend de part et d'autre de la patte d'arrachage 60. Les bords 521 et 542 des volets 52 et 54 peuvent être situées dans le prolongement des bords 21 et 22, et il existe des bords libres 523 et 543 qui permettent de dégager les bords 623 et 643 des extrémités libres 56 et 57, lesquelles, lorsque l'emballage est formé, se replient vers l'intérieur de l'emballage de sorte que les bords 561 et 572 appuient sur une face interne de l'emballage.The hinge flaps 52 and 54 are hinged on the one hand to the central panel 5 by concave arches 62 1 and 64 1 which extend towards the ends 56 1 and 57 2 by cutting lines 62 2 and 64 3 , and secondly to the gluing tab 66 by a fold line 61 which extends on either side of the tear tab 60. The edges 52 1 and 54 2 of the flaps 52 and 54 can be located in the extension of the edges 21 and 22, and there are free edges 52 3 and 54 3 which allow to disengage the edges 62 3 and 64 3 of the free ends 56 and 57, which, when the package is formed, fold towards inside the package so that the edges 56 1 and 57 2 press on an inner face of the package.

L'assemblage de l'emballage s'effectue de la même façon du côté du panneau de fond 3 que du panneau 5 à ceci près que la patte de collage permet d'assurer la solidarisation requise en raison du fait que le panneau 5 est situé à une extrémité alors que le panneau de fond 3 est disposé entre les demi-panneaux 1 et 2 auxquels il s'articule. Le système d'ouverture pourrait être d'ailleurs disposé sur le panneau de fond 3 plutôt que sur le panneau 5. En variante, le bord 511 et 542 des volets 51 et 54 pourraient ou pas s'étendre jusqu'au prolongement des bords 21 et 22.The assembly of the packaging is carried out in the same way on the side of the bottom panel 3 as the panel 5, except that the gluing lug makes it possible to secure the fastening required because the panel 5 is located at one end while the bottom panel 3 is disposed between the half-panels 1 and 2 to which it is articulated. The opening system could also be arranged on the bottom panel 3 rather than on the panel 5. Alternatively, the edge 51 1 and 54 2 of the flaps 51 and 54 could or could not extend to the extension of edges 21 and 22.

L'emballage est assemblé de la manière suivante.The package is assembled as follows.

Le repliement des volets 31 à 34 selon leur deux lignes d'articulation 131, 35, 231, 36, 132, 37, 232, 38 permet de conférer un contour cylindrique à l'emballage, car les arcs 35 à 38, par exemple des arcs de cercle, viennent se plaquer contre une face interne des demi-panneaux 1 et/ou 2. Les lignes droites 131, 132, 231, 232 se déforment selon le contour du fond de l'emballage, et les volets 31 à 34 repliés longent la face interne de l'emballage formé. En outre, les régions libres 43 et 44 viennent en appui par leurs extrémités 431 et 442 sur la face interne des demi-panneaux 1 et/ou 2, ce qui contribue à la rigidité de l'emballage.The folding of the flaps 31 to 34 along their two hinge lines 13 1 , 35, 23 1 , 36, 13 2 , 37, 23 2 , 38 makes it possible to impart a cylindrical contour to the packaging, since the arches 35 to 38 , for example circular arcs, are pressed against an inner face of the half-panels 1 and / or 2. The straight lines 13 1 , 13 2 , 23 1 , 23 2 deform according to the contour of the bottom of the package, and the flaps 31 to 34 folded along the inner face of the formed package. In addition, the free regions 43 and 44 are supported by their ends 43 1 and 44 2 on the inner face of the half-panels 1 and / or 2, which contributes to the rigidity of the package.

L'emballage terminé est représenté à la figure 2a, et en position ouverte à la figure 2b.The finished package is shown in Figure 2a, and in the open position in Figure 2b.

Comme le montre la figure 2c, les arcs 35 à 38 longent la face interne de l'emballage en s'éloignant du fond de l'emballage qui est délimité par les lignes de pliage 13 et 23 et de ce fait, les panneaux 41 et 42, qui sont articulés à la région centrale 45 le long des lignes 391 et 392, plongent vers l'intérieur de l'emballage.As shown in FIG. 2c, the arches 35 to 38 run along the inner face of the package away from the bottom of the package which is delimited by the fold lines 13 and 23 and therefore the panels 41 and 42, which are articulated to the central region 45 along the lines 39 1 and 39 2 , dive inwardly of the package.

Les lignes 130 et 230 restent droites, ce qui fait que l'emballage cylindrique comporte des méplats. Un emballage cylindrique de révolution peut être obtenu en confondant les lignes 391 et 392, ce qui supprime le panneau central 45.The lines 130 and 23 0 remain straight, so that the cylindrical packaging has flats. A cylindrical packaging of revolution can be obtained by confusing the lines 39 1 and 39 2 , which removes the central panel 45.

Un recouvrement des bords 11 et 21 d'une part, et 12 et 22 d'autre part permet une solidarisation par collage lors de la fabrication de l'emballage.An overlap of the edges 11 and 21 on the one hand, and 12 and 22 on the other hand allows bonding by bonding during the manufacture of the package.

La rigidité de l'emballage est également assurée par le fait qu'une face des volets 31 à 34 repliés longe également une face interne de l'emballage, et par le positionnement éventuel des régions de coin respectivement 25 et 26 entre les volets respectivement 31 et 33 et la face interne du demi-panneau 1.The rigidity of the packaging is also ensured by the fact that one face of the folded shutters 31 to 34 also runs along an inner face of the packaging, and by the possible positioning of the corner regions respectively 25 and 26 between the shutters 31 respectively. and 33 and the inner face of the half panel 1.

Comme indiqué ci-dessus, l'assemblage est réalisé de manière similaire à l'autre extrémité de l'emballage (panneau 5), à ceci près qu'il faut coller la patte de collage 66 sur la face interne de l'emballage, le bord de pliage 61 se superposant au bord 14.As indicated above, the assembly is made similarly to the other end of the package (panel 5), except that it is necessary to glue the gluing tab 66 on the inner face of the package, the folding edge 61 overlapping the edge 14.

Le flan représenté à la figure 3 diffère du flan de la figure 1 par le fait que l'élément de fermeture est en deux demi-parties situées en vis-à-vis, l'une 7 étant articulée au bord 14 et l'autre 8 au bord 24. Chacun des demi-éléments de fermeture 7 et 8 présente deux volets d'articulation respectivement 71, 73, et 82, 84.The blank shown in FIG. 3 differs from the blank of FIG. 1 in that the closure element is in two half-parts facing each other, one being articulated to the edge 14 and the other 8 on the edge 24. Each of half-closing elements 7 and 8 has two hinge flaps respectively 71, 73, and 82, 84.

Le demi-élément de fermeture 7 comporte un panneau central 70 présentant une région centrale 74 articulée par une ligne de pliage 240 au bord 24.The half-closure member 7 comprises a central panel 70 having a central region 74 articulated by a fold line 24 0 to the edge 24.

Le panneau central 70 présente une région centrale 75 bordée, de part et d'autre des lignes de prédécoupe 78 et 79, par des panneaux d'extrémité 76 et 77 qui se terminent par une région d'extrémité libre 780 et 790 présentant un bord 781 et 792. Les volets 71 et 73 sont articulés au demi-panneau 2 par deux lignes de pliage 241 et 242 situées de part et d'autre de la ligne 240 et à la région centrale 75 par deux arcs concaves 711 et 731 The central panel 70 has a central region 75 bordered, on either side of the precut lines 78 and 79, by end panels 76 and 77 which terminate in a free end region 78 0 and 79 0 having an edge 78 1 and 79 2 . The flaps 71 and 73 are articulated to the half-panel 2 by two fold lines 24 1 and 24 2 located on either side of the line 24 0 and the central region 75 by two concave arcs 71 1 and 73 1

Les régions d'extrémité libre 780 et 790 sont bordées par une ligne de découpe 712, 732 se prolongeant par un bord libre 713, 733 s'étendant jusqu'au bord 781 et 792.The free end regions 78 0 and 79 0 are bordered by a cutting line 71 2 , 73 2 extending by a free edge 71 3 , 73 3 extending to the edge 78 1 and 79 2 .

L'articulation des volets 82 et 84 est réalisée de manière similaire (lignes de pliage 141 et 142, arcs concaves 821 et 842 d'articulation avec le panneau central 80). Des lignes de prédécoupe 88 et 89 séparent la région centrale 85 du panneau central 80 de ses régions d'extrémité 86 et 87 qui se terminent par une extrémité libre 880 et 890, ayant un bord respectivement 881 et 892. Les régions d'extrémité libres 880 et 890 sont bordées par une ligne de découpe 822, 842 se prolongeant par un bord libre 823, 843 jusqu'au bord 881 et 892.The articulation of the flaps 82 and 84 is performed in a similar manner (folding lines 14 1 and 14 2 , concave arches 82 1 and 84 2 of articulation with the central panel 80). Pre-cut lines 88 and 89 separate the central region 85 from the central panel 80 from its end regions 86 and 87 which terminate at a free end 88 0 and 89 0 , having an edge 88 1 and 89 2, respectively . The free end regions 88 0 and 89 0 are bordered by a cutting line 82 2 , 84 2 extending by a free edge 82 3 , 84 3 to the edge 88 1 and 89 2 .

Chacun des demi-éléments de fermeture 7 et 8 présente un élément de préhension respectivement 907 et 908. Après repliement des volets 71, 73, 82 et 84, les deux éléments de préhension 907 et 908 sont pliés à 90° et sont collés l'un à l'autre pour former un anneau de préhension 99 qui permet par exemple de porter l'emballage à la ceinture (Figure 4b). L'élément de préhension 907 est articulé sur une ligne 94 située dans un renfoncement 93, en retrait du bord 92 alors que l'élément de préhension 908 est articulé sur le bord 91, ce qui permet aux bords 91 et 92 de venir en recouvrement et d'être collés l'un sur l'autre.Each of the half-closing elements 7 and 8 has a gripping element respectively 90 7 and 90 8 . After folding the flaps 71, 73, 82 and 84, the two gripping elements 90 7 and 90 8 are bent at 90 ° and are glued to each other to form a gripping ring 99 which allows for example to wear wrapping at the waist (Figure 4b). The gripping element 90 7 is articulated on a line 94 situated in a recess 93, set back from the edge 92 while the gripping element 90 8 is hinged on the edge 91, which allows the edges 91 and 92 to overlap and to be glued to one another.

Dans l'hypothèse où l'anneau de préhension 99 est prévu pour supporter le poids de l'emballage, par exemple lorsqu'il est porté à la ceinture (Figure 4b), il est préférable de ne pas prévoir de zones de prédécoupe au niveau des lignes 78 et 79 des demi-éléments de fermeture. On pourra par exemple prévoir (Figure 3) un dispositif d'ouverture périmétrique 100 présentant deux lignes de prédécoupe 101 et 102 et une patte de préhension 103.In the hypothesis that the gripping ring 99 is provided to support the weight of the package, for example when it is worn on the belt (FIG. 4b), it is preferable not to provide precut areas at the level of lines 78 and 79 of the half-closing elements. For example, it is possible to provide (FIG. 3) a perimeter opening device 100 having two precut lines 101 and 102 and a gripping tab 103.
