Description

Dispositif formant emballagePackaging device

La présente invention concerne un dispositif formant emballage ayant un élément formant couvercle creux, comprenant une surface formant un élément d'emballage.The present invention relates to a packaging device having a hollow lid member comprising a packaging element forming surface.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

Dans l'état de la technique antérieure, il est connu de nombreux dispositifs formant emballage. Ces dispositifs comprennent généralement un élément formant boîte comprenant une ouverture supérieure pour l'insertion d'objet(s) à emballer, et un élément formant couvercle comprenant une jupe latérale venant se positionner à l'extérieur de l'élément formant boîte en position de fermeture.In the state of the prior art, many packaging devices are known. These devices generally comprise a box member comprising an upper opening for the insertion of object (s) to be packaged, and a cover member comprising a lateral skirt which is positioned outside the box member in a position of closing.

Pour loger des objets à emballer, il est également prévu un élément d'emballage qui comporte des logements correspondants à la dimensions desdits objets emballer.To accommodate objects to be packaged, there is also provided a packaging element which has housings corresponding to the dimensions of said objects pack.

Ainsi, les dispositifs de la technique antérieure comprennent au moins trois éléments distincts, à savoir un élément formant boîte, un élément formant couvercle et un élément d'emballage logeant les objets.Thus, the prior art devices comprise at least three distinct elements, namely a box member, a cover member and a packaging member housing the objects.

L'élément formant boîte est aussi généralement formé par découpe d'une feuille sensiblement plane de manière à définir respectivement une surface de fond, et des surfaces latérales de l'élément formant boîte qui doivent être rabattues et solidarisées ensemble. Pour économiser de la place, il est possible de former l'élément formant boîte au moment de l'emballage en rabattant les dites surfaces latérales sensiblement verticalement et en les solidarisant par exemple par collage. Il est donc nécessaire soit d'avoir des moyens de collage à disposition au moment de la formation de l'élément formant boîte, ou de prédisposer sur les dites surfaces latérales des surfaces collantes correspondantes provisoirement protégées par une feuille de protection qu'il est nécessaire d'enlever à ce moment-là.The box member is also generally formed by cutting a substantially planar sheet so as to define respectively a bottom surface, and side surfaces of the box member which are to be folded and secured together. To save space, it is possible to form the box member at the time of packaging by folding the said side surfaces substantially vertically and securing them for example by gluing. It is therefore necessary either to have gluing means available at the time of formation of the box member, or to predispose on said side surfaces temporarily corresponding tacky surfaces. protected by a protective sheet that must be removed at that time.

On comprend ainsi que ces opérations de fabrication nécessitent au minimum la fabrication de trois pièces distinctes, ainsi que des opérations de collage, qui sont relativement coûteuses et fastidieuses pour l'utilisateur souhaitant réaliser un tel emballage.It is thus understood that these manufacturing operations require at least the manufacture of three separate parts, as well as gluing operations, which are relatively expensive and tedious for the user wishing to make such a package.

BUTS DE L'INVENTIONGOALS OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a pour but principal de résoudre le nouveau problème technique consistant en la fourniture d'une solution qui permette de réaliser des emballages avec un nombre plus limité de pièces distinctes de préférence avec uniquement deux éléments.The main purpose of the invention is to solve the new technical problem consisting in providing a solution which makes it possible to produce packages with a smaller number of distinct parts, preferably with only two elements.

L'invention a encore pour but principal de résoudre le nouveau problème technique consistant en la fourniture d'une solution qui permette de réaliser des emballages sans avoir à réaliser d'opération(s) de solidarisation des surfaces latérales de l'élément formant boîte, et notamment par collage ou soudage.The main purpose of the invention is also to solve the new technical problem of providing a solution which makes it possible to produce packagings without having to perform any operation (s) for securing the lateral surfaces of the box element. and in particular by gluing or welding.

En référence à la figure 1, on a représenté un élément formant boîte désigné par le numéro de référence générale 10, d'un dispositif formant emballage de l'art antérieur. Cet élément formant boîte 10 est formé par découpe d'une feuille 12 sensiblement plane, par exemple réalisée en papier carton, de manière à définir respectivement une surface de fond 13, et des surfaces latérales respectivement dites longitudinales 14,16, et transversales 18,20. Comme représenté à la figure 1, les surfaces latérales transversales 18,20 sont prévues pour comporter de chaque côté un couple de deux volets repliables référencés respectivement 18a, 18b, et 18c, 18d pour la surface latérale 18 ; et 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, de la surface latérale 20.Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a box member designated by the general reference numeral 10 of a prior art packaging device. This box member 10 is formed by cutting a substantially planar sheet 12, for example made of paperboard, so as to define respectively a bottom surface 13, and so-called longitudinal 14, 16, and transverse lateral surfaces 18 respectively. 20. As shown in Figure 1, the transverse side surfaces 18,20 are provided to comprise on each side a pair of two foldable flaps referenced respectively 18a, 18b, and 18c, 18d for the side surface 18; and 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, of the side surface 20.

Selon ce mode de réalisation de l'art antérieur, est nécessaire de solidariser de manière permanente au moins un volet repliable tel que 18b, 18d, 20b et 20d, des surfaces latérales longitudinales 16 et 14, par exemple par collage.According to this embodiment of the prior art, it is necessary to permanently secure at least one folding flap such as 18b, 18d, 20b and 20d, longitudinal side surfaces 16 and 14, for example by gluing.

Il est en général aussi prévu de pourvoir les surfaces opposées des volets, telles que 18a, 18b ; 18c, 18d; 20b, 20a ; 20d, et 20c d'éléments collants 22 double face, dont la face apparente est protégée par une feuille de protection jusqu'au moment de l'utilisation.It is generally also provided to provide the opposite surfaces of the shutters, such as 18a, 18b; 18c, 18d; 20b, 20a; 20d, and 20c of double-sided adhesive elements 22, whose visible face is protected by a protective sheet until the moment of use.

Il est ainsi possible de stocker élément formant boîte 10 à l'état sensiblement plan jusqu'au moment de la formation de l'emballage.It is thus possible to store box member 10 in substantially flat state until the formation of the package.

Au moment de la formation de l'emballage, il suffit d'enlever les feuilles de protection 24 des divers volets pour permet de solidariser des volets deux par deux, comme cela est bien compréhensible pour un homme de l'art.At the time of formation of the package, it is sufficient to remove the protective sheets 24 of the various flaps in order to secure shutters two by two, as is understandable for a man of the art.

On comprend que la fabrication de l'élément formant boîte 10 est plus complexe puisque nécessite des moyens de solidarisation importants, et la protection de ces moyens de solidarisation jusqu'au moment de la formation de l'emballage.It is understood that the manufacture of the box member 10 is more complex since requires significant securing means, and the protection of these securing means until the formation of the packaging.

En référence aux figures 2 à 6, l'invention apporte une solution aux nouveaux problèmes techniques mis en avant par l'invention, d'une part relativement à la réduction du nombre de pièces distinctes pour réaliser un dispositif formant emballage et, d'autre part, relativement à l'absence de moyens de solidarisation des faces latérales de l'élément formant boîte.With reference to FIGS. 2 to 6, the invention provides a solution to the new technical problems put forward by the invention, on the one hand relatively to the reduction in the number of distinct parts for producing a device forming a package and, on the other hand, on the other hand, relative to the lack of means for securing the lateral faces of the box element.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, actuellement préféré, l'invention fournit un dispositif formant emballage représenté par le numéro de référence générale 100.According to the presently preferred embodiment, the invention provides a packaging device represented by the general reference numeral 100.
