Abstract

The sleeve has inner and outer plastic sleeves (3, 4) each presenting a perimeter in the order of perimeter of a container. The sleeves (3, 4) extend in concentric manner and are assembled together by a common welding line (6). The welding line extends along a part of the top of the sleeves (3, 4) so as to constitute a body (7) with double sleeve on whole perimeter of the container. The outer sleeve is provided with precuts (9) each forming a working flap (10) that is adapted to constitute a data medium on its faces.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un manchon étirable destiné à être placé autour d'un contenant tel qu'un emballage creux ou un récipient comme un bidon, une bouteille, un pot par exemple en vue de constituer un support d'informations au sens général.The present invention relates to a stretchable sleeve intended to be placed around a container such as a hollow package or a container such as a bottle, a bottle, a pot for example in order to constitute a medium of information in the general sense .

Un tel manchon d'étiquetage comporte un corps en matière plastique conformé pour s'adapter sur le pourtour du récipient. De manière avantageuse, la surface de ces manchons est utilisée pour constituer un support d'informations c'est-à-dire une surface servant au décor et/ou à l'impression d'indications relatives au produit incluant éventuellement son mode d'emploi.Such a labeling sleeve comprises a plastic body shaped to fit around the periphery of the container. Advantageously, the surface of these sleeves is used to constitute an information carrier, that is to say a surface used for decorating and / or printing indications relating to the product, possibly including its instructions for use. .

Il a été constaté que la surface d'informations représentée par un tel manchon est bien souvent insuffisante pour permettre de porter sur un tel manchon, toutes les informations relatives au produit notamment les prescriptions réglementaires et le mode d'emploi généralement en plusieurs langues.It has been found that the information surface represented by such a sleeve is often insufficient to allow such a sleeve to be worn, all the information relating to the product, in particular the regulatory requirements and the generally multi-lingual instructions for use.

Pour permettre l'impression d'informations sur une surface plus importante que la seule surface périphérique du contenant, diverses solutions dans l'état de la technique ont été proposées. Par exemple, le brevet européen EP 0 604 318 a proposé un manchon d'étiquetage réalisé à partir d'une feuille en polyéthylène comportant un corps tubulaire fermé par une ligne de soudure et présentant une circonférence sensiblement égale au périmètre du récipient. Au-delà de la soudure, le corps tubulaire comporte un volet s'étendant sur une partie du pourtour du récipient et dont les deux faces sont aptes à constituer des supports d'informations. Le volet est relié de manière amovible au corps du manchon à l'aide d'une ligne adhésive.To allow the printing of information on a larger surface than the only peripheral surface of the container, various solutions in the state of the art have been proposed. For example, the European patent EP 0 604 318 proposed a labeling sleeve made from a polyethylene sheet having a tubular body closed by a weld line and having a circumference substantially equal to the perimeter of the container. Beyond the weld, the tubular body comprises a flap extending over a portion of the perimeter of the container and whose two faces are able to constitute information carriers. The flap is releasably connected to the body of the sleeve with an adhesive line.

De même, le brevet US 5 658 015 , qui est considéré comme l'état de la technique le plus proche, ou 6 162 158 décrit un manchon d'étiquetage à double épaisseur prolongé par un volet à double épaisseur. Le volet est pourvu d'une prédécoupe pour conférer un caractère amovible au volet.Similarly, the patent US 5,658,015 , which is considered the closest state of the art, or 6,162 158 discloses a double-thick labeling sleeve extended by a double-thickness flap. The shutter is provided with a precut to confer a removable character to the shutter.

Si les diverses solutions de l'état de la technique vise à proposer un manchon d'étiquetage permettant d'augmenter la surface de présentation d'informations, il doit être considéré que l'opération de pose d'un tel manchon peut être délicate compte tenu de la présence d'un corps de manchon auquel est rattaché un volet. De plus, lors de l'opération de pose du manchon autour du contenant, il peut se produire une ouverture voire une détérioration du volet.If the various solutions of the state of the art is to propose a labeling sleeve to increase the presentation surface information, it must be considered that the operation of laying such a sleeve may be difficult given the presence of a sleeve body to which is attached a flap. In addition, during the operation of laying the sleeve around the container, it can occur opening or deterioration of the flap.

L'objet de l'invention vise donc à remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique en proposant un manchon d'étiquetage offrant des possibilités encore plus grandes de surface comme support d'informations tout en étant conçu pour autoriser une facilité de pose au cours de laquelle l'intégrité du manchon d'étiquetage n'est pas altérée.The object of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a labeling sleeve offering even greater surface possibilities as an information carrier while being designed to allow easy installation during which the integrity of the labeling sleeve is not impaired.

Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des Fig. 1 à 1C , l'objet de l'invention concerne un manchon d'étiquetage 1 destiné à être placé autour d'un contenant non représenté de tout type tel que récipient ou emballage comme un bidon, une bouteille, un pot, etc.. Un manchon d'étiquetage 1 est conformé pour s'adapter sur le pourtour du contenant et présente ainsi une forme générale tubulaire ou cylindrique. Un tel manchon d'étiquetage est formé avant son montage sur le contenant, autour duquel il est adapté par étirement compte tenu de son élasticité.As more specifically Fig. 1 to 1C The object of the invention relates to a labeling sleeve 1 to be placed around a container not shown of any type such as container or package as a can, a bottle, a pot, etc .. A sleeve 1 labeling is shaped to fit around the container and thus has a generally tubular or cylindrical shape. Such a labeling sleeve is formed before mounting on the container, around which it is adapted by stretching given its elasticity.

Conformément à l'invention, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte au moins un manchon interne 3 en matière plastique souple et un manchon externe 4 en matière plastique souple. Chaque manchon interne 3 et externe 4 présente donc un contour fermé ou une forme sensiblement cylindrique ou tubulaire pour permettre d'entourer le contenant. Afin d'assurer son montage autour du contenant, chaque manchon interne 3 et externe 4 présente un périmètre de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant c'est-à-dire sensiblement égal ou de préférence légèrement inférieur au périmètre du contenant pour s'adapter par élasticité autour du contenant. Les manchons interne 3 et externe 4 s'étendent de manière concentrique l'un par rapport à l'autre, c'est-à-dire que le manchon interne 3 est entouré par le manchon externe 4. En d'autres termes, le manchon interne 3 correspond au manchon en contact avec le contenant c'est-à-dire celui interposé entre le contenant et le manchon externe 4. According to the invention, the labeling sleeve 1 comprises at least one inner sleeve 3 of flexible plastic material and an outer sleeve 4 of flexible plastic material. Each inner sleeve 3 and outer 4 thus has a closed contour or a substantially cylindrical or tubular shape to allow surrounding the container. To ensure its mounting around the container, each inner sleeve 3 and outer 4 has a perimeter of the perimeter of the container that is to say substantially equal to or preferably slightly less than the perimeter of the container to fit by elasticity around the container. 3 and external inner sleeves 4 extend concentrically relative to each other, that is to say, the inner sleeve 3 is surrounded by the outer sleeve 4. In other words, the inner sleeve 3 corresponds to the sleeve in contact with the container, that is to say the one interposed between the container and the outer sleeve 4.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les deux manchons 3 et 4 sont assemblés ensemble par au moins une ligne de soudure 6 s'étendant selon au moins une partie de la hauteur des manchons de manière à constituer un corps 7 à double manchons sur au moins tout le périmètre du contenant. Les manchons interne 3 et externe 4 sont engagés l'un dans l'autre et se trouvent fermement assemblés entre eux, par au moins la ligne de soudure 6. Il doit être compris que chaque manchon 3, 4 se trouve ainsi fermé sur lui-même tel qu'un bracelet, à l'aide d'au moins une soudure.According to another characteristic of the invention, the two sleeves 3 and 4 are assembled together by at least one weld line 6 extending along at least a portion of the height of the sleeves so as to constitute a body 7 with double sleeves on at least the entire perimeter of the container. The inner sleeves 3 and outer 4 are engaged one inside the other and are firmly assembled together, by at least the weld line 6. It must be understood that each sleeve 3, 4 is thus closed on itself. same as a bracelet, using at least one weld.

Il est à noter que dans l'exemple illustré, la soudure 6 s'étend sur toute la hauteur des manchons 3, 4 qui présentent la même hauteur. Selon des applications, les manchons 3, 4 peuvent posséder des hauteurs différentes. De même, la soudure 6 peut s'étendre seulement sur une partie de la hauteur des manchons.It should be noted that in the illustrated example, the weld 6 extends over the entire height of the sleeves 3, 4 which have the same height. According to applications, the sleeves 3, 4 may have different heights. Similarly, the weld 6 may extend only over a portion of the height of the sleeves.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'objet de l'invention, le manchon externe 4 est pourvu d'au moins une et dans l'exemple illustré, de deux prédécoupes 9 adaptées pour former chacune un rabat ouvrable 10 apte à constituer sur chacune de ses faces un support d'informations. La découpe du manchon externe 4 le long de sa ligne de prédécoupe 9 permet ainsi de dégager une partie du manchon externe 4 qui forme un rabat ouvrable 10 apte à constituer sur chacune de ses faces, un support d'informations. Avantageusement, chacune des faces du rabat 10 constitue un support d'informations même si il peut être envisagé qu'une seule de ces faces soit imprimée.According to another characteristic of the subject of the invention, the outer sleeve 4 is provided with at least one and in the illustrated example, two precuts 9 adapted to each form a foldable flap 10 capable of constituting on each of its faces an information carrier. The cutting of the outer sleeve 4 along its pre-cut line 9 thus makes it possible to disengage a portion of the outer sleeve 4 which forms an openable flap 10 capable of constituting on each of its faces, an information carrier. Advantageously, each of the faces of the flap 10 constitutes an information carrier even if it can be envisaged that only one of these faces is printed.

Selon l'invention le manchon interne 3 constitue un support d'informations de manière que l'ouverture de chaque rabat 10 permette d'observer la partie du manchon interne 3 s'étendant en vis-à-vis et ainsi découvert. Il est à noter qu'il peut être envisagé que les deux faces de manchon interne constituent un support d'informations. Bien entendu, et tel que cela ressortira de la description qui suit, chaque rabat 10 peut présenter des dimensions ou des formes diverses. Dans l'exemple illustré, chaque ligne de prédécoupe 9 s'étend sur la totalité de la hauteur du manchon. De préférence, la ligne de prédécoupe 9 peut présenter une conformation facilitant l'ouverture du rabat.According to the invention the inner sleeve 3 constitutes an information carrier so that the opening of each flap 10 allows to observe the portion of the inner sleeve 3 extending vis-à-vis and thus discovered. It should be noted that it can be envisaged that the two inner sleeve faces constitute a support information. Of course, and as will be apparent from the description which follows, each flap 10 may have various dimensions or shapes. In the illustrated example, each precut line 9 extends over the entire height of the sleeve. Preferably, the precut line 9 may have a conformation facilitating the opening of the flap.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, les deux manchons 3 et 4 sont assemblés entre eux par au moins une et dans l'exemple illustré, trois zones d'assemblage permanentes 13. Dans l'exemple illustré, les trois zones d'assemblage 13 sont des zones d'assemblage 13 de nature adhésive permanente mais il est clair qu'il pourrait être prévu des zones d'assemblage par soudure. Ainsi, les deux manchons 3 et 4 sont mutuellement liés par collage au niveau de chacune de ces zones adhésives 13, par exemple selon les techniques connues de complexage, de lamination ou de contrecollage. Ainsi, une couche adhésive s'étend entre les deux manchons 3, 4 au niveau de la zone d'assemblage 13. Cette zone d'assemblage 13 s'étend sur une plus ou moins grande surface et peut se limiter à un cordon ou à une ligne d'assemblage s'étendant sur tout ou partie de la hauteur du manchon. Cette zone d'assemblage 13 est limitée avantageusement en surface afin d'augmenter la surface des rabats et par suite, la surface pour les supports d'informations. Il doit être considéré que la zone d'assemblage 13 est utilisée pour délimiter la forme du rabat dont la ligne de prédécoupe 9 se situe de préférence à proximité de la zone d'assemblage 13. En d'autres termes, la zone d'assemblage 13 s'étend en dehors de la partie du manchon formant un rabat 10. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated, the two sleeves 3 and 4 are assembled together by at least one and in the illustrated example, three permanent assembly areas 13. In the example illustrated, the three assembly zones 13 are assembly areas 13 of permanent adhesive nature but it is clear that there could be provided welding assembly areas. Thus, the two sleeves 3 and 4 are bonded together by bonding at each of these adhesive zones 13, for example according to the known techniques of complexing, lamination or laminating. Thus, an adhesive layer extends between the two sleeves 3, 4 at the assembly zone 13. This assembly zone 13 extends over a greater or lesser area and may be limited to a cord or an assembly line extending over all or part of the height of the sleeve. This assembly zone 13 is advantageously limited at the surface in order to increase the surface of the flaps and consequently the surface for the information carriers. It must be considered that the assembly zone 13 is used to delimit the shape of the flap whose precut line 9 is preferably close to the assembly zone 13. In other words, the assembly zone 13 extends outside the portion of the sleeve forming a flap 10.

A cet effet, dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 1 , chaque prédécoupe 9 s'étend selon une direction à savoir la hauteur du manchon d'étiquetage 1. Bien entendu, chaque prédécoupe 9 peut s'étendre selon plusieurs directions afin de conférer au rabat 10, toutes formes et/ou dimensions souhaitées. Ainsi, tel qu'illustré à la Fig. 2 , une prédécoupe 9 peut être réalisée selon deux directions, à savoir sur une partie de la hauteur et une partie de la largeur du manchon externe 4. Selon cet exemple, le rabat 10 possède une hauteur inférieure au manchon 3 ou 4. For this purpose, in the example shown in Fig. 1 Each precut 9 extends in a direction that is the height of the labeling sleeve 1. Of course, each precut 9 may extend along several directions in order to impart to the flap 10, all shapes and / or desired dimensions. Thus, as illustrated in Fig. 2 , a precut 9 can be made in two directions, namely on a part of the height and a part of the width of the outer sleeve 4. According to this example, the flap 10 has a lower height than the sleeve 3 or 4.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée de réalisation, chaque rabat 10 coopère avec un adhésif 15 de manière à permettre de repositionner le rabat dans sa position initiale. Le rabat 10 est ainsi relié de façon amovible au manchon interne 3. L'adhésif 15 est porté par le manchon interne 3 et/ou le manchon externe 4. L'adhésif 15 s'étend de manière continue ou discontinue entre les deux manchons 3 et 4. According to another preferred embodiment, each flap 10 cooperates with an adhesive 15 so as to reposition the flap in its initial position. The flap 10 is thus removably connected to the inner sleeve 3. The adhesive 15 is carried by the inner sleeve 3 and / or the outer sleeve 4. The adhesive 15 extends continuously or discontinuously between the two sleeves 3 and 4.

Les Fig. 1A à 1C illustrent un exemple d'un procédé de fabrication du manchon d'étiquetage 1 tel qu'illustré à la Fig. 1 . Il est à noter que les différents éléments constitutifs du manchon 1 ont été représentés agrandis pour faciliter la compréhension. Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, chaque manchon interne 3 et externe 4 est réalisé par une feuille en matière plastique tel qu'un film polyéthylène étirable 3A, 4A. Les feuilles 3A, 4A sont distinctes l'une de l'autre et présentent chacune dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 1A , une largeur de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant en tenant compte des chutes. La largeur prise en compte dépend notamment de l'élasticité du film et du degré de serrage du manchon d'étiquetage sur le contenant. Par exemple, dans le cas d'un film plastique étirable, la largeur de chaque film est légèrement supérieure au périmètre du contenant (quelques dizaines de millimètres pour tenir compte des chutes) de manière à réaliser chaque manchon avec un périmètre avant montage, légèrement inférieur au périmètre du contenant.The Fig. 1A to 1C illustrate an example of a method of manufacturing the labeling sleeve 1 as illustrated in FIG. Fig. 1 . It should be noted that the various constituent elements of the sleeve 1 have been enlarged to facilitate understanding. According to a preferred feature of embodiment, each inner sleeve 3 and outer 4 is made of a plastic sheet such as a polyethylene stretch film 3A, 4A. The sheets 3A, 4A are distinct from each other and each show in the example illustrated in FIG. Fig. 1A , a width of the order of the perimeter of the container taking into account the falls. The width taken into account depends in particular on the elasticity of the film and the degree of tightness of the labeling sleeve on the container. For example, in the case of a plastic stretch film, the width of each film is slightly greater than the perimeter of the container (a few tens of millimeters to account for falls) so as to achieve each sleeve with a perimeter before mounting, slightly lower at the perimeter of the container.

La feuille 3A qui est destinée à constituer le manchon interne 3 est imprimée sur au moins l'une de ses faces tandis que la feuille 4A qui est destinée à constituer le manchon externe 4 est imprimée de préférence sur ses deux faces. L'adhésif 15 est placé par exemple sur la feuille 4A à proximité des deux prédécoupes 9 réalisées sur cette feuille 4A. The sheet 3A which is intended to constitute the inner sleeve 3 is printed on at least one of its faces while the sheet 4A which is intended to constitute the outer sleeve 4 is printed preferably on both sides. The adhesive 15 is placed for example on the sheet 4A near the two pre-cuts 9 made on this sheet 4A.

Dans l'exemple illustré où les deux feuilles 3A, 4A sont pourvues de trois zones d'assemblage 13, les deux feuilles 3A, 4A sont assemblées ensemble par la couche d'adhésif s'étendant selon une surface déterminée notamment par les rabats 10 ( Fig. 1B ). In the illustrated example where the two sheets 3A, 4A are provided with three assembly zones 13, the two sheets 3A, 4A are assembled together by the layer of adhesive extending along a surface determined in particular by the flaps 10 ( Fig. 1B ).

L'opération suivante consiste à assurer un dossage ou un pliage D1 des deux feuilles 3A, 4A dans leur partie centrale, au niveau d'une zone d'assemblage 13, en deux parties sensiblement égales. Une ligne de soudure 6 est réalisée à l'opposé de la ligne de pliage D1 de manière à constituer le corps 7 à double manchons c'est-à-dire un manchon externe 4 réalisé par la feuille 4A, à l'intérieur duquel est placé le manchon interne 3 réalisé par la feuille 3A ( Fig. 1C ). Chaque rabat 10 se trouve ainsi délimité d'un côté, par une zone d'assemblage 13 formant articulation et de l'autre côté, par une prédécoupe 9 située à proximité d'une autre zone d'assemblage 13. The following operation is to ensure a folder or folding D 1 of two sheets 3A, 4A in their central part, at an assembly area 13, in two substantially equal parts. A weld line 6 is made opposite the fold line D 1 so as to constitute the body 7 with double sleeves, that is to say an outer sleeve 4 made by the sheet 4A, inside which is placed the inner sleeve 3 made by the sheet 3A ( Fig. 1 C ). Each flap 10 is thus delimited on one side by an assembly area 13 forming a hinge and on the other side by a precut 9 located near another assembly area 13.

Bien entendu, les deux feuilles 3A et 4A proviennent chacune d'une bobine de film plastique présentant une laize déterminée destinée à former une succession de feuilles qui après les opérations décrites ci-dessus forment des manchons d'étiquetage aptes à être séparés entre eux par découpe ou par des lignes de prédécoupe dans le sens de la largeur du film.Of course, the two sheets 3A and 4A each come from a reel of plastic film having a defined width intended to form a succession of sheets which after the operations described above form labeling sleeves able to be separated from each other by cutting or by precut lines in the direction of the width of the film.

Le manchon d'étiquetage 1 selon l'invention comporte un corps 7 à double manchons lui conférant une bonne tenue à l'étirement, ce qui facilite son opération de pose autour d'un récipient. En effet, il doit être compris, qu'au sens de l'invention, chaque manchon 3, 4 correspond au pliage d'une feuille sans discontinuité dont au moins les parties superposées en vis-à-vis à l'opposé du dossage sont soudées.The labeling sleeve 1 according to the invention comprises a body 7 with double sleeves giving it good resistance to stretching, which facilitates its operation of laying around a container. Indeed, it should be understood that, within the meaning of the invention, each sleeve 3, 4 corresponds to the folding of a sheet without discontinuity of which at least the superposed parts opposite to the opposite of the backing are welded.

Chaque manchon 3, 4 se caractérise par une continuité de matière sur tout le pourtour dont la fermeture est réalisée uniquement par un assemblage du type soudure. Au sens de l'invention, chaque manchon 3, 4 ne comporte pas un adhésif comme moyen de fermeture de la feuille sur elle-même pour constituer un manchon.Each sleeve 3, 4 is characterized by a continuity of material all around the circumference whose closure is achieved only by a weld type assembly. Within the meaning of the invention, each sleeve 3, 4 does not include an adhesive as a means of closing the sheet on itself to form a sleeve.

Dans l'exemple décrit à la Fig. 1 , les deux manchons 3 et 4 sont réalisés par deux feuilles distinctes 3A et 4A. Il est à noter que le manchon d'étiquetage 1 tel qu'il est illustré à la Fig. 1 peut être réalisé à l'aide d'une feuille unique de largeur de l'ordre de deux fois le périmètre du contenant. Cette feuille est dossée par exemple trois fois de suite selon une largeur égale au demi-périmètre du contenant avant de réaliser au moins une soudure des quatre feuilles superposées assemblées ensemble afin de constituer les manchons interne 3 et externe 4. Une autre solution consiste à plier en deux parties égales, deux fois la feuille avant de réaliser une soudure des quatre feuilles superposées.In the example described in Fig. 1 , the two sleeves 3 and 4 are made by two separate sheets 3A and 4A. It should be noted that the labeling sleeve 1 as illustrated in FIG. Fig. 1 can be achieved using a single leaf width of the order of twice the perimeter of the container. This sheet is for example folded three times in a row equal to the half-perimeter of the container before making at least one weld of the four superimposed sheets assembled together to form the inner sleeves 3 and outer 4. Another solution is to fold in two equal parts, twice the sheet before making a weld of the four superimposed sheets.

Dans l'exemple qui précède, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 présente une surface comme support d'informations, au maximum de quatre fois le périmètre du contenant (deux faces du manchon interne 3 et les deux faces du manchon externe 4). La description qui suit vise à décrire des manchons d'étiquetage 1 dont le support d'informations présente une surface supérieure. A cet effet, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte un corps 7 à double manchons tel que décrit ci-dessus, ainsi qu'au moins un volet à au moins une feuille.In the example above, the labeling sleeve 1 has a surface as information carrier, at most four times the perimeter of the container (two faces of the inner sleeve 3 and the two faces of the outer sleeve 4 ). The following description aims to describe labeling sleeves 1 whose information carrier has a top surface. For this purpose, the labeling sleeve 1 comprises a body 7 with double sleeves as described above, as well as at least one flap with at least one sheet.

Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 2 , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte un corps 7 qui ne sera pas décrit plus précisément car sa constitution est conforme à la description effectuée en relation de la Fig. 1 . Dans cet exemple de réalisation, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte au delà du corps 7, un volet 20 à double feuilles 3A, 4A. Chaque feuille 3A, 4A constitutive du volet est issue du prolongement d'une feuille constitutive d'un manchon 3, 4. Au moins une des feuilles du volet 20 est pourvue d'au moins une prédécoupe 9 de manière à former un double rabat ouvrable 10 apte à constituer sur chacune de ses faces, un support d'informations. Dans l'exemple illustré, une des feuilles 4A est pourvue d'une prédécoupe 9 de manière à permettre d'ouvrir le volet 20 afin que chaque face des deux feuilles 3A, 4A du volet en regard l'une de l'autre puisse servir de support d'informations visibles après ouverture dudit volet. Dans l'exemple illustré, une des feuilles est pourvue d'une prédécoupe 9 mais il est clair qu'il peut être prévu de réaliser plusieurs prédécoupes 9 dans une des feuilles ou voire sur les deux feuilles 3A, 4A. In the example shown in Fig. 2 , the labeling sleeve 1 comprises a body 7 which will not be described more precisely because its constitution is in accordance with the description made in relation to the Fig. 1 . In this embodiment, the labeling sleeve 1 comprises beyond the body 7, a flap 20 double sheets 3A, 4A. Each sheet 3A, 4A constituting the flap is derived from the extension of a sheet constituting a sleeve 3, 4. At least one of the leaves of the flap 20 is provided with at least one precut 9 so as to form a double flap openable 10 capable of forming on each of its faces, an information carrier. In the illustrated example, one of the sheets 4A is provided with a precut 9 so as to open the flap 20 so that each side of the two sheets 3A, 4A of the flap facing one another can serve visible information carrier after opening said flap. In the illustrated example, one of the sheets is provided with a precut 9 but it is clear that it can be expected to make several pre-cuts 9 in one of the sheets or even on both sheets 3A, 4A.

Avantageusement, le rabat 10 est pourvu d'au moins une zone d'assemblage 13 afin de maintenir entre elles les feuilles 3A, 4A du volet.Advantageously, the flap 10 is provided with at least one assembly zone 13 in order to maintain between them the leaves 3A, 4A of the flap.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, le volet 20 est destiné à coopérer avec un adhésif 15 permettant de maintenir le volet 20 assemblé de manière amovible au corps 7. De préférence encore, chaque rabat du volet est destiné à coopérer par un adhésif 15 avec l'autre feuille du volet.According to a preferred embodiment, the flap 20 is intended to cooperate with an adhesive 15 for holding the flap 20 removably assembled to the body 7. More preferably, each flap of the flap is intended to cooperate by an adhesive 15 with the another sheet of the shutter.

Les Fig. 2A à 2C illustrent un exemple de réalisation du manchon d'étiquetage 1 tel qu'illustré à la Fig. 2 . The Fig. 2A to 2C illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the labeling sleeve 1 as illustrated in FIG. Fig. 2 .

Chaque feuille 3A, 4A présente une largeur comprise entre d'une part une valeur supérieure au périmètre du contenant et dans l'exemple égale à 1,5 fois le périmètre du contenant et d'autre part une valeur de l'ordre du double du périmètre du contenant. La feuille 4A est équipée des prédécoupes 9 tandis que l'adhésif 15 est placé sur les feuilles 3A, 4A ( Fig. 2A ). L'opération suivante consiste à assembler les deux feuilles 3A, 4A entre elles à l'aide des zones d'assemblage 13 au nombre de quatre dans l'exemple illustré ( Fig. 2B ). L'opération suivante consiste à assurer un dossage D1 des deux feuilles 3A et 4A selon une valeur égale au demi-périmètre du contenant et dans l'exemple illustré, au niveau d'une zone d'assemblage 13. Une soudure 6 est réalisée entre la plus courte extrémité libre de la partie dossée et l'autre partie des feuilles 3A, 4A pour constituer entre cette soudure 6 et le dossage D1, le corps 7 à double manchons au-delà duquel s'étend le volet à double feuilles 20. Un second dossage D2 selon un sens contraire dans l'exemple illustré est réalisé selon cette ligne de soudure 6 pour rabattre le volet 20 contre le corps 7. Il doit être considéré que la soudure 6 peut être réalisée après le second dossage D2. Each sheet 3A, 4A has a width between on the one hand a value greater than the perimeter of the container and in the example equal to 1.5 times the perimeter of the container and on the other hand a value of the order of twice the perimeter of the container. The sheet 4A is equipped with pre-cuts 9 while the adhesive 15 is placed on the sheets 3A, 4A ( Fig. 2A ). The following operation consists in assembling the two sheets 3A, 4A together with the help of assembly zones 13 , four in number in the illustrated example ( Fig. 2B ). The following operation consists in providing a covering D 1 of the two sheets 3A and 4A at a value equal to the half-perimeter of the container and in the example shown at an assembly area 13. A weld 6 is produced between the shortest free end of the backed part and the other part of the sheets 3A, 4A to form between this weld 6 and the backing D 1 , the body 7 with double sleeves beyond which extends the double-leaf flap 20. A second backing D 2 in a contrary direction in the illustrated example is made according to this weld line 6 to fold down the flap 20 against the body 7. It must be considered that the weld 6 can be made after the second fixing D 2 .

Il est à noter que le deuxième dossage D2 autour de la ligne de soudure 6 peut être réalisé dans le même sens que le premier dossage D1. De même, les deux feuilles du volet 20 sont dans l'exemple illustré assemblées entre elles de manière amovible par l'adhésif 15. Il est à noter qu'il peut être prévu que les deux feuilles constitutives du volet 20 peuvent ne pas être assemblées entre elles. Ainsi, chaque feuille 3A, 4A peut être assemblée de manière indépendante par un adhésif 15 au corps 7. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, les feuilles 3A, 4A du volet sont rabattues de part et d'autre du corps 7. It should be noted that the second cover D 2 around the weld line 6 can be made in the same direction as the first cover D 1 . Similarly, the two sheets of the flap 20 are in the illustrated example assembled together removably by the adhesive 15. It should be noted that it may be provided that the two constituent sheets of the flap 20 may not be assembled between them. Thus, each sheet 3A, 4A can be independently assembled by an adhesive 15 to the body 7. In this embodiment, the leaves 3A, 4A of the flap are folded on either side of the body 7.

Dans l'exemple qui précède illustré à la Fig. 2 , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 présente une surface comme support d'informations, égale à la somme de la surface présentée par le corps 7 (au maximum quatre fois le périmètre du contenant) et de la surface présentée par le volet 20 (égale à quatre fois la largeur du volet pouvant atteindre une valeur de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant, voire une valeur supérieure). Ainsi, il peut être escompté une surface d'informations au moins égale à huit fois le périmètre du contenant, correspondant à une largeur du volet égale au périmètre du récipient. Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 2 , la surface d'impression est égale à six fois le périmètre du contenant.In the example above illustrated at Fig. 2 , The labeling sleeve 1 has a surface as a carrier of information, the sum of the surface presented by the body 7 (up to four times the perimeter of the container) and the surface exposed by the shutter 20 (equal to four times the width of the shutter can reach a value of the order of the perimeter of the container, or even a higher value). Thus, it can be expected an information surface at least equal to eight times the perimeter of the container, corresponding to a width of the flap equal to the perimeter of the container. In the example shown in Fig. 2 , the printing area is six times the perimeter of the container.

La Fig. 3 illustre un autre exemple de réalisation d'un manchon d'étiquetage 1 comportant un corps 7 à double manchons et un double volet 20 à double feuilles qui découle directement du manchon illustré à la Fig. 2 . The Fig. 3 illustrates another exemplary embodiment of a labeling sleeve 1 comprising a body 7 with double sleeves and a double flap 20 with double sheets which flows directly from the sleeve illustrated in FIG. Fig. 2 .

Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des Fig. 3A à 3C , un tel manchon est réalisé à partir de deux feuilles distinctes 3A, 4A présentant chacune une largeur comprise entre d'une part une valeur supérieure au périmètre du contenant et dans l'exemple illustré de l'ordre du double du périmètre du contenant et d'autre part une valeur de l'ordre du triple du périmètre du contenant pour présenter au-delà du corps 7, un double volet 20 à double feuilles. Dans l'exemple illustré, chaque feuille 3A, 4A présente une largeur de l'ordre du double du périmètre du contenant. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, la feuille 3A est équipée de l'adhésif 15 tandis que la feuille 4A est équipée de l'adhésif 15 et des prédécoupes 9. Les deux feuilles 3A, 4A sont assemblées ensemble à l'aide des zones d'assemblage 13 (au nombre de cinq dans l'exemple illustré), avant de subir une première opération de dossage D1 en deux parties égales par exemple au niveau d'une zone d'assemblage 13. La ligne de soudure 6 est réalisée entre les deux parties repliées sur elle-même, au niveau de deux zones d'assemblage 13, situées chacune à une valeur de l'ordre du demi-périmètre du contenant par rapport au dossage D1 pour constituer le corps 7. Les feuilles 3A, 4A s'étendent au-delà de cette soudure 6 de manière à présenter pour chacune de ces deux parties repliées, un volet 20 à double feuilles. Chaque volet 20 est rabattu selon la ligne de soudure 6 l'un contre l'autre comme illustré à la Fig. 3 ou chacun sur une partie du manchon externe 4. Selon cette variante illustrée, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 est à même de présenter une surface d'informations égale à la somme de la surface présentée par le corps 7 (au maximum quatre fois le périmètre du contenant) et de la surface présentée par les deux volets 20 (égale pour chaque volet 20, à quatre fois la largeur d'un volet pouvant atteindre une valeur de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant, voire dépasser le périmètre du contenant). Ainsi, il peut être escompté, une surface d'informations au moins égale à douze fois le périmètre du contenant pour les volets 20 présentant chacun une largeur de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant. Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 3 , la surface d'informations est de l'ordre de huit fois le périmètre du contenant.As more specifically Fig. 3A to 3C Such a sleeve is made from two separate sheets 3A, 4A each having a width between firstly a value greater than the perimeter of the container and in the illustrated example of the order of twice the perimeter of the container and on the other hand a value of the order of three times the perimeter of the container to present, beyond the body 7, a double flap 20 with double sheets. In the illustrated example, each sheet 3A, 4A has a width of the order of twice the perimeter of the container. In this exemplary embodiment, the sheet 3A is equipped with the adhesive 15 while the sheet 4A is equipped with the adhesive 15 and the pre-cuts 9. The two sheets 3A, 4A are assembled together using the zones of FIG. assembly 13 (five in the example shown), before undergoing a first operation of setting D 1 in two equal parts for example at an assembly area 13. The welding line 6 is made between the two parts folded on itself, at two zones 13, each located at a value of the order of the half-perimeter of the container relative to the D 1 to form the body 7. The sheets 3A, 4A extend beyond this weld 6 so as to present for each of these two folded parts, a flap 20 double sheets. Each flap 20 is folded along the weld line 6 against each other as illustrated in FIG. Fig. 3 or each on a portion of the outer sleeve 4. According to this variant illustrated, the labeling sleeve 1 is able to present an information area equal to the sum of the surface area of the body 7 (at most four times the perimeter container) and the surface presented by the two flaps 20 (equal for each flap 20, four times the width of a flap up to a value of the perimeter of the container, or even exceed the perimeter of the container). Thus, it can be expected, an information area at least equal to twelve times the perimeter of the container for the flaps 20 each having a width of the order of the perimeter of the container. In the example shown in Fig. 3 , the information surface is of the order of eight times the perimeter of the container.

La Fig. 4 illustre une autre variante de réalisation dans laquelle le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte un corps 7 à double manchons pourvu de quatre volets 20 chacun à double feuilles.The Fig. 4 illustrates another embodiment in which the labeling sleeve 1 comprises a body 7 with double sleeves provided with four flaps 20 each double sheets.

Selon cet exemple de réalisation, les deux manchons 3, 4 du corps 7 sont assemblés entre eux également par une zone d'assemblage 13 limitée à une ligne d'assemblage par collage ou de soudure 131. De préférence, le corps 7 présente deux lignes de soudure opposées 6, 131 délimitant le corps 7. According to this exemplary embodiment, the two sleeves 3, 4 of the body 7 are joined to each other also by an assembly zone 13 limited to an assembly line by gluing or welding 13 1 . Preferably, the body 7 has two opposite welding lines 6, 13 1 delimiting the body 7.

Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des Fig. 4A à 4C , un tel manchon d'étiquetage 1 est réalisé à partir de deux feuilles 3A, 4A présentant chacune une largeur comprise entre les valeurs supérieures au périmètre du contenant et une valeur de l'ordre du triple du périmètre du contenant. Dans l'exemple illustré, chaque feuille 3A, 4A possède une largeur de l'ordre du triple du périmètre du contenant. Chaque feuille 3A, 4A est pourvu de l'adhésif 15 et la feuille 4A des prédécoupes 9. Les feuilles 3A et 4A sont assemblées ensemble à l'aide des zones d'assemblage 13 (au nombre de sept dans l'exemple illustré). Les feuilles 3A et 4A subissent une opération de dossage D1 permettant de replier l'ensemble en deux parties égales ( Fig. 4C ). Deux lignes de soudure 6 et 131 sont réalisées sur les deux parties repliées selon une largeur de l'ordre du demi-périmètre du contenant pour constituer le corps 7, qui présente au-delà de chaque ligne de soudure, deux parties repliées de la largeur du demi-périmètre du contenant. Les quatre parties repliées constituent chacune un volet 20 à double feuilles. Il est à noter qu'une ligne de coupure C est réalisée sur la partie repliée située au niveau du dossage D1 afin d'obtenir deux volets 20 séparés. Les volets 20 sont assemblés de manière amovible entre eux et/ou avec le corps 7 à l'aide de l'adhésif 15 comme expliqué ci-avant.As more specifically Fig. 4A to 4C , Such a labeling sleeve 1 is made from two sheets 3A, 4A each having a width between values greater than the perimeter of the container and a value of the order of three times the perimeter of the container. In the illustrated example, each sheet 3A, 4A has a width of the order of three times the perimeter of the container. Each sheet 3A, 4A is provided with the adhesive 15 and the sheet 4A pre-cut 9. The sheets 3A and 4A are assembled together using the assembly areas 13 (seven in the example shown). The sheets 3A and 4A undergo a d 1 d1 folding operation to fold the set in two equal parts ( Fig. 4C ). Two weld lines 6 and 13 1 are formed on the two folded portions along a width of the order of the half-perimeter of the container to form the body 7, which has, beyond each weld line, two folded portions of the width of the half-perimeter of the container. The four parts are each a folded flap 20 double leaves. It should be noted that a cut-off line C is formed on the folded portion located at the level of the backing D 1 in order to obtain two separate flaps 20 . The flaps 20 are removably assembled together and / or with the body 7 with the aid of the adhesive 15 as explained above.

Dans cette variante de réalisation, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 est à même de présenter une surface d'informations égale à la somme de la surface présentée par le corps 7 (au maximum quatre fois le périmètre du contenant) et de la surface présentée par les quatre volets 20 (égale pour chaque volet 20, à quatre fois la largeur du volet pouvant atteindre voire dépasser, le périmètre du contenant). Ainsi, il peut être escompté une surface d'informations au moins égale à vingt fois le périmètre du contenant pour les volets présentant chacun une largeur égale au périmètre du contenant. Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 4 , la surface d'informations est égale à douze fois le périmètre du contenant.In this variant embodiment, the labeling sleeve 1 is able to present an information area equal to the sum of the surface area of the body 7 (at most four times the perimeter of the container) and the surface area presented by the four flaps 20 (equal for each flap 20, four times the width of the flap can reach or exceed the perimeter of the container). Thus, it can be expected an information area at least equal to twenty times the perimeter of the container for the flaps each having a width equal to the perimeter of the container. In the example shown in Fig. 4 , the information area is equal to twelve times the perimeter of the container.

Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 4 , il est à noter que la ligne de coupure C peut ne pas être exécutée. Dans ce cas, et tel que cela apparaît à la Fig. 4C , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte un deuxième corps 7 à double manchons délimité entre la soudure 131 et la partie dossée D1. Le deuxième corps 7 présente la même constitution que le premier corps 7 décrit ci-dessus. Ainsi, le deuxième corps 7 possède deux manchons s'étendant sur le pourtour d'un contenant et se trouve assemblé au premier corps 7 de préférence par la ligne de soudure 131 commune. Bien entendu, le deuxième corps 7 peut être solidarisé au premier corps 7 par une autre ligne de soudure. Ce deuxième corps 7 comporte un manchon interne 3 et un manchon externe 4 en matière plastique, s'étendant de manière concentrique l'un par rapport à l'autre en étant assemblés ensemble par au moins la ligne de soudure 131 selon au moins une partie de la hauteur des manchons. Le manchon externe 4 est pourvu d'au moins une prédécoupe 9 pour former un rabat ouvrable 10 apte à constituer sur chacune de ses faces, un support d'informations. Dans cette variante envisagée, le manchon d'étiquetage 1 selon l'invention permet d'équiper deux contenants placés côte à côte de sorte qu'il constitue aussi un manchon de groupage. Bien entendu, il peut être envisagé que le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte un nombre de corps 7 supérieur à 2. Il est à noter qu'un tel manchon d'étiquetage et de groupage à deux corps 7 peut être obtenu à partir de l'exemple illustré aux fig. 3, 3A à 3C. En effet, la réalisation d'une ligne de soudure 131 reliant les extrémités libres des deux parties repliées l'une contre l'autre permet d'obtenir un deuxième corps 7 à double manchons, solidaire du premier corps 7 et délimité entre cette ligne de soudure 131 et la ligne de soudure 6. In the example shown in Fig. 4 , it should be noted that the cut line C may not be executed. In this case, and as it appears in Fig. 4C , the labeling sleeve 1 comprises a second body 7 with double sleeves delimited between the weld 13 1 and the back part D 1 . The second body 7 has the same constitution as the first body 7 described above. Thus, the second body 7 has two sleeves extending around the periphery of a container and is assembled to the first body 7 preferably by the common weld line 13 1 . Of course, the second body 7 can be secured to the first body 7 by another weld line. This second body 7 comprises an inner sleeve 3 and an outer sleeve 4 made of plastic material, extending concentrically with respect to one another by being assembled together by at least the weld line 13 1 according to at least one part of the height of the sleeves. The outer sleeve 4 is provided with at least one precut 9 to form an open flap 10 adapted to form on each of its faces, an information carrier. In this variant envisaged, the labeling sleeve 1 according to the invention makes it possible to equip two containers placed side by side so that it also constitutes a grouping sleeve. Of course, it may be envisaged that the labeling sleeve 1 has a number of bodies 7 greater than 2. It should be noted that such a labeling sleeve and two-body grouping 7 can be obtained from the example illustrated in Fig. 3, 3A at 3C. Indeed, the realization of a weld line 13 1 connecting the free ends of the two folded parts against each other makes it possible to obtain a second body 7 with double sleeves, integral with the first body 7 and delimited between this line. welding 13 1 and the weld line 6.

Il ressort des diverses variantes de réalisation illustrées ci-dessus que l'objet de l'invention permet d'utiliser des laizes de feuilles minimum pour une surface d'informations maximum tout en limitant le nombre de pliage.It can be seen from the various embodiments illustrated above that the object of the invention makes it possible to use minimum widths of sheets for a maximum information surface while limiting the number of folding.

Dans les exemples qui précèdent, il est à noter que la surface du manchon d'étiquetage 1 est utilisée au maximum pour servir de support d'informations. Par conséquent, les zones d'assemblage 13 qui délimitent les rabats 10 sont réduites. Les Fig. 5 à 5C illustrent une variante de réalisation dans laquelle un rabat 10 présente une surface relativement faible par rapport au manchon d'étiquetage. Dans l'exemple illustré, le rabat 10 présente une longueur inférieure au demi-périmètre du contenant et une hauteur inférieure à la hauteur du manchon d'étiquetage 1 pour s'étendre à distance des bords haut et bas du manchon d'étiquetage 1. Le rabat 10 qui est de forme rectangulaire par exemple se trouve placé au milieu de la surface du manchon d'étiquetage en étant entouré par une zone d'assemblage 13. In the preceding examples, it should be noted that the surface of the labeling sleeve 1 is used to the maximum to serve as information carrier. Consequently, the assembly zones 13 which delimit the flaps 10 are reduced. The Fig. 5 to 5C illustrate an alternative embodiment in which a flap 10 has a relatively small surface area with respect to the labeling sleeve. In the illustrated example, the flap 10 has a length less than the half-perimeter of the container and a height less than the height of the labeling sleeve 1 to extend away from the top and bottom edges of the labeling sleeve 1. The flap 10 which is of rectangular shape for example is placed in the middle of the surface of the labeling sleeve being surrounded by an assembly zone 13.

Le manchon d'étiquetage 1 est réalisé selon cet exemple, selon le même principe que celui décrit en relation des Fig. 2A à 2C . La différence apparaît au niveau d'une zone d'assemblage 13 qui est d'une grande surface tout en laissant subsister une zone pour laquelle ne sont pas assemblés ensemble les manchons interne 3 et externe 4, ce dernier étant pourvu dans cette zone d'une prédécoupe 9 pour former un rabat 10. The labeling sleeve 1 is made according to this example, according to the same principle as that described in relation to Fig. 2A to 2C . The difference appears at the level of an assembly zone 13 which is of a large surface while leaving a zone for which the inner and outer sleeves 3 are not assembled together , the latter being provided in this zone with a precut 9 to form a flap 10.

Dans les exemples illustrés aux Fig. 2 à 5 , chaque volet 20 comporte deux feuilles de mêmes dimensions afin d'optimiser la surface d'informations. Il peut être envisagé que les deux feuilles de chaque volet présentent des largeurs et/ou des hauteurs différentes. De même, il peut être prévu que chaque volet 20 comporte une seule feuille. Dans le même sens, les volets 20 peuvent présenter entre eux des largeurs et/ou des hauteurs différentes.In the examples illustrated in Fig. 2 to 5 Each flap 20 comprises two sheets of the same dimensions in order to optimize the information surface. It can be envisaged that the two sheets of each shutter have different widths and / or heights. Similarly, it can be expected that each flap 20 comprises a single sheet. In the same direction, the flaps 20 may have different widths and / or heights between them.

Dans les exemples qui précèdent, la description a été faite pour un corps 7 à double manchons. Il est clair que l'objet de l'invention peut s'appliquer à un corps 7 comportant plus de deux manchons. Selon une telle variante de réalisation, le corps 7 comporte de façon supplémentaire, au moins un et dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 6 , un manchon intermédiaire 5 de conception identique aux autres manchons 3, 4. Le manchon intermédiaire 5 est réalisé en matière souple et présente un contour fermé dont le périmètre est de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant. Ce manchon intermédiaire 5 s'étend de manière concentrique par rapport aux manchons interne 3 et externe 4 en étant intercalé entre les manchons interne 3 et externe 4. Ce manchon intermédiaire 5 est assemblé avec les manchons interne 3 et externe 4 par la ligne de soudure 6 qui s'étend sur au moins une partie de la hauteur des manchons. Le manchon intermédiaire 5 possède une hauteur identique ou différente des autres manchons et une largeur sensiblement identique aux autres manchons.In the preceding examples, the description was made for a body 7 with double sleeves. It is clear that the object of the invention can be applied to a body 7 having more than two sleeves. According to such an alternative embodiment, the body 7 additionally comprises at least one and in the example illustrated in FIG. Fig. 6 , an intermediate sleeve 5 of identical design to the other sleeves 3, 4. The intermediate sleeve 5 is made of flexible material and has a closed contour whose perimeter is of the order of the perimeter of the container. This intermediate sleeve 5 extends concentrically with respect to the inner sleeves 3 and outer 4 being interposed between the inner sleeves 3 and outer 4. This intermediate sleeve 5 is assembled with the inner sleeves 3 and outer 4 by the weld line 6 which extends over at least a portion of the height of the sleeves. The intermediate sleeve 5 has a height identical to or different from the other sleeves and a width substantially identical to the other sleeves.

Selon cette variante de réalisation, le corps 7 comporte une série de manchons égale à trois dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 6 , pouvant être pourvu d'un ou de plusieurs volets 20 comme décrit en relation des Fig. 2 à 5 . Dans le cas d'un corps 7 à trois manchons, les volets 20 peuvent comporter de une à trois feuilles. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré aux Fig. 6 à 6C , le corps 7 à trois manchons comporte deux volets 20 de largeurs différentes dont l'un est à deux rabats et l'autre à trois rabats.According to this variant embodiment, the body 7 comprises a series of sleeves equal to three in the example illustrated in FIG. Fig. 6 , which can be provided with one or more flaps 20 as described in relation to Fig. 2 to 5 . In the case of a body 7 with three sleeves, the flaps 20 may comprise from one to three sheets. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Fig. 6 to 6C The body 7 in three sleeves comprises two flaps 20 of different widths one of which is two flaps and the other three flaps.

Tel que cela ressort plus précisément de la Fig. 6A , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 est réalisé à partir de trois feuilles distinctes 3A, 4A, 5A. La feuille 4A est de largeur inférieure aux deux autres feuilles 3A et 5A qui possèdent la même largeur. Les trois feuilles 3A, 4A, 5A sont pourvues de l'adhésif 15 et des prédécoupes 9. L'opération suivante consiste à assembler les feuilles entre elles à l'aide des zones d'assemblage 13 au nombre de sept dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 6B . L'opération suivante consiste à assurer un dossage D1 des feuilles par exemple en dehors d'une zone d'assemblage 13 de manière à mettre en position de superposition, quatre zones d'assemblage 13 à l'opposée du dossage D1 et au niveau desquelles la soudure 6 est réalisée. Cette soudure 6 délimite avec le dossage D1 le corps 7 à trois manchons 3, 4, 5. Un second dossage autour de cette soudure 6 est réalisé pour rabattre les deux volets 20 l'un contre l'autre dans l'exemple illustré.As is more particularly apparent from the Fig. 6A , the labeling sleeve 1 is made from three separate sheets 3A, 4A, 5A. The sheet 4A is of smaller width than the other two sheets 3A and 5A which have the same width. The three sheets 3A, 4A, 5A are provided with the adhesive 15 and the precuts 9. The following operation is to assemble the sheets together by means of the assembly areas 13 to the number of seven in the illustrated example to the Fig. 6B . The following operation is to ensure a sheet D 1 of the sheet for example outside of an assembly area 13 so as to put in the position of superposition, four assembly areas 13 to the opposite of the D 1 record and to whereof the solder 6 is made. This weld 6 delimits with the backing D 1 the body 7 with three sleeves 3, 4, 5. A second record around this weld 6 is made to fold the two flaps 20 against each other in the example shown.

Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 6 , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 comporte un corps 7 à trois manchons 3, 4, 5 réalisé à partir de trois feuilles distinctes. Il est à noter qu'il peut être obtenu un manchon d'étiquetage 1 avec un nombre de manchons différent du nombre de feuilles constitutives, tel que cela ressort de l'exemple illustré aux Fig. 7A à 7C . Selon cet exemple, les manchons interne 3, externe 4 et intermédiaire 5 au nombre de deux dans l'exemple illustré, sont réalisés par deux feuilles en matière plastique 3A, 4A dont au moins une et dans l'exemple illustré, les deux feuilles présentent chacune une largeur au moins de l'ordre du double du périmètre du contenant pour former le corps 7. Il est à noter qu'une des feuilles peut présenter une largeur inférieure au double du périmètre du contenant. Toutefois, cette feuille doit présenter une largeur au moins égale à celle du périmètre du contenant.In the example shown in Fig. 6 , the labeling sleeve 1 comprises a body 7 with three sleeves 3, 4, 5 made from three separate sheets. It should be noted that a labeling sleeve 1 can be obtained with a number of sleeves different from the number of constituent sheets, as is apparent from the example illustrated in FIGS. Fig. 7A to 7C . According to this example, the inner sleeves 3, external 4 and intermediate 5 are two in the illustrated example, are made by two plastic sheets 3A, 4A , at least one and in the example shown, the two sheets present each at least a width of about twice the perimeter of the container to form the body 7. It should be noted that one of the sheets may have a width less than twice the perimeter of the container. container. However, this sheet must have a width at least equal to that of the perimeter of the container.

Tel qu'illustré à la Fig. 7A , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 est réalisé à partir de deux feuilles 3A, 4A présentant chacune dans l'exemple illustré, une largeur de l'ordre du double du périmètre du contenant. Chaque feuille 3A, 4A est pourvue de l'adhésif 15 et de prédécoupes 9. Les feuilles 3A, 4A en position superposée subissent une opération de dossage D1, permettant de replier l'ensemble en deux parties égales ( Fig. 7B ). L'ensemble subit ensuite un deuxième dossage D2 de manière à amener les extrémités libres des feuilles au-dessus de la partie dossée D1. Une soudure 6 est ensuite réalisée au niveau du dossage D1 pour assembler ensemble la partie dossée D1 et les extrémités libres des feuilles. Il est ainsi obtenu un manchon externe 4, un manchon interne 3 et deux manchons intermédiaires 5. Il est à noter que le manchon interne 3 et le manchon externe 4 sont réalisés par la même feuille à savoir 4A dans l'exemple illustré. Il est à noter que l'autre feuille 3A peut posséder une largeur inférieure au double du périmètre du contenant. Dans ce cas, il peut être obtenu soit au moins un volet, soit un manchon intermédiaire, soit un manchon intermédiaire prolongé par un volet.As illustrated in Fig. 7A , the labeling sleeve 1 is made from two sheets 3A, 4A each having in the example shown, a width of the order of twice the perimeter of the container. Each sheet 3A, 4A is provided with the adhesive 15 and precuts 9. The sheets 3A, 4A in superimposed position undergo a dying operation D 1 , making it possible to fold the assembly into two equal parts ( Fig. 7B ). The assembly then undergoes a second registration D 2 so as to bring the free ends of the sheets above the back part D 1 . A weld 6 is then made at the level of the backing D 1 to assemble together the backed part D 1 and the free ends of the sheets. There is thus obtained an outer sleeve 4, an inner sleeve 3 and two intermediate sleeves 5. It should be noted that the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 4 are made by the same sheet namely 4A in the illustrated example. It should be noted that the other sheet 3A may have a width less than twice the perimeter of the container. In this case, it can be obtained either at least one flap, an intermediate sleeve or an intermediate sleeve extended by a flap.

Dans le même sens, il peut être envisagé que l'une et/ou l'autre des feuilles présentent des largeurs supérieures au double du périmètre du récipient afin d'obtenir au-delà de la soudure 6, des volets 20 tels que décrits ci-avant et/ou au moins un corps 7 supplémentaire.In the same direction, it can be envisaged that one and / or the other of the sheets have widths greater than twice the perimeter of the container in order to obtain beyond the weld 6, flaps 20 as described herein. before and / or at least one additional body 7 .

Dans les exemples des Fig. 2 à 6 , chaque volet 20 s'étend au-delà du corps 7, et à l'extérieur du corps 7 de sorte que chaque volet est rabattu sur le corps 7. Les Fig. 8 à 8C illustrent un exemple de réalisation dans lequel deux volets 20 à une feuille s'étendent entre le manchon interne 3 et le manchon externe 4. En d'autres termes, les volets 20 sont situés à l'intérieur du corps 7. Dans l'exemple illustré à la Fig. 8A , le manchon d'étiquetage 1 est réalisé à partir de deux feuilles 3A, 4A présentant chacune une largeur supérieure au périmètre du contenant et (dans l'exemple illustré, de l'ordre de 1,5 fois le périmètre du contenant) mais inférieure au double du périmètre du contenant. L'une des feuilles 4A est pourvue de l'adhésif 15 et de la prédécoupe 9. Au niveau de la largeur de l'ordre du périmètre du contenant, les deux feuilles 3A, 4A subissent un dossage D1 visant à plier les extrémités libres l'une vers l'autre, c'est-à-dire à l'intérieur des feuillesIn the examples of Fig. 2 to 6 Each flap 20 extends beyond the body 7, and outside of the body 7 so that each flap is folded on the body 7. Fig. 8 to 8C illustrate an exemplary embodiment in which two flaps 20 to a sheet extend between the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 4. In other words, the flaps 20 are located inside the body 7. In the example illustrated at Fig. 8A , the labeling sleeve 1 is made from two sheets 3A, 4A each having a width greater than the perimeter of the container and (in the illustrated example, of the order 1.5 times the perimeter of the container) but less than twice the perimeter of the container. One of the sheets 4A is provided with the adhesive 15 and the precut 9. At the width of the order of the perimeter of the container, the two sheets 3A, 4A undergo a file D 1 to bend the free ends towards each other, that is to say inside the leaves

3A, 4A.3A, 4A.

Les feuilles 3A, 4A sont assemblées entre elles par des zones d'assemblage 13 au nombre de deux situées à chaque extrémité de l'ensemble ainsi constitué ( Fig. 8B ). L'opération suivante consiste à assurer un dossage D2 des feuilles 3A, 4A en deux parties égales et à réaliser une soudure 6 à l'opposé du dossage D2 de manière à constituer le corps 7 à deux manchons 3, 4 entre lesquels sont placés les parties repliées formant des volets 20.The sheets 3A, 4A are assembled together by two assembling zones 13 situated at each end of the assembly thus formed ( Fig. 8B ). The following operation consists in ensuring a sheet D 2 of the sheets 3A, 4A in two equal parts and in making a weld 6 opposite to the sheet D 2 so as to constitute the body 7 with two sleeves 3, 4 between which are placed the folded parts forming shutters 20 .
