Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for easy opening of a packaging in the form of a triangular portion, and a corresponding packaging and its manufacturing process. It is particularly suited to the field of packaging packaging of a pasty food product, such as cheese.
- a pasty food product such as cheese.
- later packaging or triangular portion any package comprising five faces, a base and a shaped lid approaching a triangle separated by three side walls.
- a first solution of the prior art is described in the patent FR2597441. It relates to a package whose base is a portion of a disc, of shape approximating an isosceles triangle, comprising two large sides of the same length corresponding to the radius of the disc and a small rounded side corresponding to a portion of the circular periphery of the disc.
- the opening solution described for this type of packaging is based on a tear strip comprising an end to be grasped, disposed on the edge of the package corresponding to the center of the disc, separating into two strips along the two long sides of the triangular base then up and ending up the rounded side wall opposite the central ridge of the package.
- This solution allows the opening of the portion by the tearing of its triangular base and the rounded side wall of the portion.
- a first disadvantage of this solution is that it is poorly suited to plastic packaging such as polypropylene for example.
- a second disadvantage of this solution is that it causes the opening of a global surface insufficient to be able to grab the cheese easily without putting on the fingers.
- a second solution of the prior art for opening this type of packaging is described in document EP0803439. It rests on two bands of tearing traversing the three lateral walls of the triangular portion. They cause the opening of the side walls of the portion, the base and the remaining lid arranged on the cheese.
- a first drawback of this solution comes from the fact that it is related to a particular manufacturing process of the packaging which is based on the realization of the side walls separately by winding them around a mandrel, then on the addition of the base and the lid.
- a second disadvantage comes from the fact that the seizure of the base and the lid of the package after opening before consumption of its contents is not easy, is difficult without getting dirty hands.
- a first object of the present invention is to provide an opening device for a triangular type package and the associated package, which allows the opening of a large surface of the package and well arranged to facilitate the seizure of cheese in a friendly way.
- a second object of the present invention is to provide an opening device for a triangular type of packaging suitable for packaging of different materials, such as aluminum or plastic.
- a third object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive manufacturing method of such a device.
- the invention is based on a device for easy opening of a substantially triangular package, comprising a base, a cover and three side walls, comprising two tear strips joining to form a tongue, characterized in that these two strips are able to traverse part of the side walls and the base of the packaging to cause tearing of the base and a large overall surface of the side walls during the pulling of the tongue.
- the device for easy opening of a substantially triangular package is characterized in that the tongue is disposed on an angular portion close to an edge of the package, opposite a large side wall , in that a first band extends along a long side on the base and then extends on one side of the large side wall and in that the second band extends along another side on the base to be extended on a second side of the large side wall to allow the opening of the base and the large side wall by pulling the tongue.
- the device for easy opening of a substantially triangular package is characterized in that the tongue is on a side wall, in that a first band extends on one side of the side wall, extends through the base at an angle and extends to one side of another side wall and that a second band extends to another side of the side wall, passes through the base along a the side opposite the angle and extends on another side of the other side wall to allow the opening of the base and the two side walls by pulling the tongue.
- the invention also relates to a substantially triangular-based package comprising a base, a lid and three side walls, characterized in that it comprises an easy opening device as described above.
- the package is characterized in that it is substantially triangular isosceles and in that the two tear strips of the easy opening device are not identical, of it extending substantially along the short side on the base of the package.
- the tongue may be disposed on an angled portion folded on the side wall opposite this angular portion. It can protrude on the lid of the package.
- the packaging can be aluminum or plastic and includes pre-cuts at the tongue to promote the initiation of tearing.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a packaging as described above, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- the film is made of plastic and step c) comprises hot bends.
- FIG. 1 represents a view of a film in a step at the beginning of the manufacture of the packaging according to a first embodiment of the invention
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the package according to the first embodiment of the invention
- Figure 3 shows a view of the package at the beginning of its opening operation according to the first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 4 represents a view of the open package according to the first embodiment of the invention
- FIG 5 represents a view of a film in a step at the beginning of the manufacture of the packaging according to a second embodiment of the invention
- Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the package according to the second embodiment of the invention
- Figure 7 shows a view of the package at the beginning of its opening operation according to the second embodiment of the invention
- Figure 8 shows a view of the open package according to the second embodiment of the invention.
- the invention thus relates to triangular packages, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 6, comprising a base 2, a cover 6 and three side walls 13, 14 and 15.
- a package is made from a film 1 of plastic material, for example polypropylene, comprising a substantially triangular base 2 isosceles, the two long sides of the same length 3 and 4 delimit respectively two portions 13 and 14 for forming side walls of the package after folding.
- the base 2 further comprises a third side 5 of smaller size, rounded because the base 2 is in fact a triangular portion from a disk of center O, which delimits the base 2 of a portion 15 whose fold will form the rounded side wall opposite the center O of the portion.
- the film 1 further comprises corner portions 17, 18 placed in this order between the parts 13 or 14 and the part 15, separated by a fold line 19 which will form an edge 19 of the future portion after folding.
- the film 1 comprises a part 20 in the shape of a fish tail, symmetrical around the central fold line 16 intended to form the third edge of the portion after folding, ridge rising vertically above the center O of the triangular portion. This part 20 has the function of forming this edge 16 as well as sealing the portion in this area.
- two tear strips 23, 25 are respectively arranged and heat-sealed along the sides 3 and 5 on the base 2 of the film 1. These two strips meet, are superimposed and are bonded to each other. along a fold line 19 of an angular region, on a corner portion 17 of the film to form a single tongue 27 which extends beyond the film 1.
- this tongue 27 passes through a small surface of the lateral portion 13 at its intersection with the parts 2, 17 and 15.
- the two strips 23, 25 extend at their second end on the edges of a portion of the side wall 14 opposite to the angular zone carrying the tongue 27, respectively in a strip 21 along the border between the parts 14 and 20 and in a strip 22 along the border between the parts 14 and 17 of the film 1.
- the film 1 is made of polypropylene and two pre-cuts 29 are provided on the periphery of the film 1 around the tongue 27.
- the same configuration comprising two tear strips can be obtained from a single continuous strip folded to form the tongue 27 and the two strips on either side.
- the term "two bands" therefore also includes an embodiment of two parts of the same tear strip.
- Such a tear tape may be polyester or polypropylene.
- the film 1 is hot folded according to a known manufacturing method, such as that described in WO2004 / 052753, to form the portion illustrated in perspective in Figure 2, the base 2 being on the top.
- the fold lines 16 and 19 form the three edges of the triangular portion, a portion of the lateral portions 13, 14 and 15 of the film, after a first folding respectively around the lines 3, 4 and 5 form the side walls of the finished portion. .
- the end of these parts 13, 14 and 15 is folded over a lid 6 added facing the base 2, after filling the package, to allow sealing of the package, according to lines not shown.
- the corner portions 17, 18 and 20 are folded over the side portions of the package.
- the result obtained is therefore a substantially triangular portion isosceles, comprising two large side walls 13 and 14 of the same dimensions, joining on a ridge 16, and delimited with a small side wall rounded by two edges 19.
- the portion 17 comprising the tongue 27 is folded over the rounded side wall 15, rather than on the side wall 13, then on the cover 6.
- the tongue 27 could follow the edge 19 on the angular portion 18, instead of the portion 17, and join the base 2 through the portion 15, instead of the wall 13, these angular portions 17 and 18 then being advantageously folded over the side wall 13 of the completed portion and not on the wall 15.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the initial phase of the opening of the triangular portion in which the tongue 27 has been pulled and has caused a tearing of the portion in the angular zone around the edge 19.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the portion after its complete opening following the prolonged pull of the tongue 27.
- the two tear strips 23 and 25 cause the package to tear along the sides 3 and 5 and thus the opening of the total surface of the base 2 and then both tear strips 21 and 22, which extend substantially over the entire thickness of the package on the side wall 14, cause the tearing of the side wall 14 over its entire surface.
- This solution therefore has the following advantages: initiation of tearing is facilitated;
- the open package can be entered manually in a user-friendly manner, without affecting its contents, for example by placing the thumb on the inner surface of the torn base 2 and the index on the outer surface of the lid 6 on which the content.
- This content can thus be easily grasped, either by unmolding it on a plate, or by bringing it directly to the mouth;
- the shape of the package containing the cheese after it has been opened is such that it has no corner in which some of the contents might be trapped.
- this embodiment of the invention relates more particularly to triangular packages having lateral walls of different sizes, large and small.
- FIGS 5 to 8 illustrate a second embodiment of the invention, in which identical references correspond to the same characteristics. This embodiment differs from the previous mode in the location of the tear strips.
- Two tear strips made of aluminum or polyester are used and arranged on an aluminum film 1 of equivalent shape to that of FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 5, these two strips meet to form a tongue 37 projecting beyond of the lateral portion 14 of the film 1, in an area closer to the corner portion 17 than the Part 20.
- the two tear strips of this tongue 37 then separate and pass through the side wall 14 by two parts 31 and 32 respectively.
- the first part 31 passes through the base 2 at its angle O corresponding to the center of the disk whose portion is issued, then is extended by a portion 33 on the side wall 13 to a length corresponding to the thickness of the finished future packaging, illustrated in Figure 6.
- the second band comprises a portion 35 extending the portion 32, which passes through the base 2 substantially along its short side 5, and which extends on the side wall 13 by a portion 34 to a length corresponding to the thickness of the future finished packaging.
- the tongue 37 protrudes from the cover 6, as illustrated in FIG.
- Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the opening of the package.
- the traction on the tongue 37 causes the tearing of almost the entire side wall 14, then the entire surface of the base 2, and finally the entire surface of the other large side wall 13.
- the open package can be entered manually in a user-friendly manner, without affecting its contents, which can be easily grasped, either by unmolding it on a plate or by bearing it directly in the mouth;
- the invention relates to triangular packages of any material such as aluminum or plastic, and allows a better opening of these packages through the tearing of at least the base and a large surface of the side walls. It therefore comprises an arrangement of tear strips to define a large total surface of the side walls of the triangular portion that tears. This surface is more precisely defined by the area between the two tear strips. In the first embodiment, this surface is important because it concerns the entire of a large side wall and in the second embodiment, this surface is important because it concerns almost all of the two large side walls. Any other intermediate combination may be suitable.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a package which comprises the following steps:
- steps a) and b) can be reversed in time, the strips being first arranged on the film belonging to a roll before it is cut into this roll.
