Description

"Conditionnement pour substance à infuser" "Conditioning for substance to be infused"
La présente invention concerne un conditionnement pour une substance à infuser.The present invention relates to a package for a substance to be infused.
Elle trouvera son application en particulier pour la fabrication et l'utilisation d'emballages pré-dosés en une substance à infuser qui peut être notamment : du café moulu, des feuilles de thé, des substances d'origines végétales diverses à infuser.It will find its application in particular for the manufacture and use of pre-dosed packaging in a substance to be infused which can be in particular: ground coffee, tea leaves, substances of various vegetable origins to infuse.
L'invention permet, en coopération avec une machine de fabrication de boisson, de réaliser, directement dans le conditionnement, l'infusion de la substance de sorte à produire une boisson.The invention allows, in cooperation with a beverage manufacturing machine, to carry out, directly in the packaging, the infusion of the substance so as to produce a drink.
Le document FR-A-2 754 793 montre un emballage utilisable pour du café moulu comportant une bague périphérique délimitant un volume de réception d'une substance à infuser, ce volume étant fermé en parties supérieure et inférieure par deux feuilles de matière filtrante. Une telle disposition n'est pas satisfaisante sur le plan de l'assemblage des trois parties constitutives. En effet, la tenue mécanique de l'ensemble, et en particulier la soudure périphérique des feuilles sur la bague, ne peut être réalisée efficacement. En outre, la préhension de l'ensemble est délicate car aucune rigidité dans le sens transversal à la bague n'est véritablement produite.Document FR-A-2 754 793 shows a packaging that can be used for ground coffee comprising a peripheral ring delimiting a volume for receiving a substance to be infused, this volume being closed in upper and lower parts by two sheets of filtering material. Such an arrangement is not satisfactory in terms of the assembly of the three constituent parts. Indeed, the mechanical strength of the assembly, and in particular the peripheral welding of the sheets on the ring, can not be carried out effectively. In addition, the grip of the assembly is delicate because no stiffness in the direction transverse to the ring is actually produced.
On connaît également du document WO-A1-95 07041 un conditionnement disposant de deux couches de matière filtrante superposées et encadrant une feuille de renfort. L'ensemble présente une bonne rigidité dans le sens du plan de joint entre les deux couches de matière filtrante. Ce type de conditionnement est par ailleurs très facile d'utilisation et s'insère parfaitement dans certaines machines de production de boisson telle celle décrite dans WO- A1 -95 07041.Also known from WO-A1-95 07041 a package having two layers of filter material superposed and flanking a reinforcing sheet. The assembly has good rigidity in the direction of the joint plane between the two layers of filter material. This type of packaging is also very easy to use and fits perfectly in some beverage production machines such as that described in WO-A1-95 07041.
Il existe cependant un besoin d'augmenter la rigidité d'un tel conditionnement dans le sens perpendiculaire au plan de joint entre les couches.However, there is a need to increase the rigidity of such a package in the direction perpendicular to the joint plane between the layers.
La présente invention s'inscrit dans ce cadre et propose à cet effet un conditionnement pour une substance à infuser comportant deux couches de matière filtrante encadrant une feuille de renfort dotée d'un trou. Ce conditionnement est tel qu'il comporte une pièce cylindrique creuse de rigidification transversale dont la paroi extérieure est ajustée sur le trou de la feuille de renfort et délimitant avec les couches un volume de réception d'une substance à infuser.The present invention falls within this framework and proposes for this purpose a packaging for a substance to be infused with two layers of filter material framing a reinforcing sheet with a hole. This conditioning is such that it comprises a cylindrical hollow transverse stiffening part whose outer wall is fitted over the hole of the reinforcing sheet and delimiting with the layers a receiving volume of a substance to be infused.
La pièce cylindrique creuse coopère avec la feuille de renfort de sorte à produire une rigidité dans les deux sens principaux du conditionnement (dans le sens du plan de joint et la direction qui lui est transversale).The hollow cylindrical part cooperates with the reinforcing sheet so as to produce a rigidity in the two main directions of the packaging (in the direction of the joint plane and the direction which is transverse to it).
Cette disposition permet par ailleurs d'ajuster très aisément le volume de réception de la substance à infuser et ce sans modifier les dimensions externes du conditionnement. Par exemple, suivant la nature du produit à infuser, il suffit d'augmenter ou de diminuer les dimensions du trou et de la pièce cylindrique creuse. On peut aussi modifier uniquement les dimensions intérieures de la pièce cylindrique creuse. De cette façon, on peut conditionner tout type de substances à infuser dont des substances ne devant pas être comprimées dans le volume de réception telles des feuilles de thé.This arrangement also makes it possible to very easily adjust the reception volume of the substance to be infused without changing the external dimensions of the packaging. For example, depending on the nature of the product to be infused, it is sufficient to increase or decrease the dimensions of the hole and the hollow cylindrical part. It is also possible to modify only the internal dimensions of the hollow cylindrical part. In this way, any type of substances to be infused, including substances not to be compressed in the reception volume such as tea leaves, can be packaged.
On notera que, par la configuration de l'ensemble ainsi formé, il n'y a pas nécessité (même si cela n'est pas exclu par l'invention) de solidariser la feuille de renfort et la pièce cylindrique creuse pour parvenir à un ensemble de rigidité souhaitée. En effet, la pièce de renfort et la pièce cylindrique creuse sont parfaitement encadrées par les couches en matière filtrante de sorte que l'ensemble présente une bonne cohésion. Selon des modes de réalisation préférés mais non limitatifs, le conditionnement de l'invention est tel que :Note that, by the configuration of the assembly thus formed, there is no need (although this is not excluded by the invention) to secure the reinforcing sheet and the hollow cylindrical part to achieve a set of rigidity desired. Indeed, the reinforcing piece and the hollow cylindrical part are perfectly framed by the layers of filter material so that the assembly has good cohesion. According to preferred but non-limiting embodiments, the packaging of the invention is such that:
- le trou est circulaire et la pièce cylindrique creuse a une section circulaire,the hole is circular and the hollow cylindrical part has a circular section,
- la pièce cylindrique creuse est formée à partir d'une bande roulée dont les deux extrémités sont jointes,the hollow cylindrical part is formed from a rolled strip whose two ends are joined,
- la feuille de renfort et/ou la pièce cylindrique creuse sont à base de papier cartonné,the reinforcing sheet and / or the hollow cylindrical part are based on paperboard,
- la feuille de renfort et les couches sont solidaires par leur pourtour.- The reinforcing sheet and the layers are secured by their periphery.
Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples et ne sont pas limitatifs de l'invention. Ils représentent seulement un mode de réalisation de l'invention et permettront de la comprendre aisément.The accompanying drawings are given by way of example and are not limiting of the invention. They represent only one embodiment of the invention and will make it easy to understand.
La figure 1 présente une vue de côté du conditionnement de l'invention et la figure 2 en est une vue en coupe selon les lignes BB.Figure 1 shows a side view of the packaging of the invention and Figure 2 is a sectional view along the lines BB.
La figure 3 est une vue de dessus du conditionnement suivant ce mode de réalisation et la figure 4 une vue éclatée des différents constituants de l'invention.Figure 3 is a top view of the packaging according to this embodiment and Figure 4 an exploded view of the various constituents of the invention.
On a représenté aux dessins un conditionnement 1 sensiblement sous forme de pastille présentant un pourtour extérieur circulaire d'un diamètre D par exemple de l'ordre de 52 mm. Cela étant, ces dimensions et la forme géométrique du conditionnement 1 ne sont pas limitées à cette illustration. Notamment, le pourtour du conditionnement 1 peut aussi être réalisé de façon carré ou rectangulaire. Dans le cas représenté, le conditionnement 1 présente une enveloppe en matière filtrante à base de papier filtre constituée par deux couches 2, 3 assemblées au niveau de leur pourtour 8 selon un plan de joint, dans le cas représenté sensiblement situé au milieu de l'épaisseur du conditionnement 1. Entre les deux couches 2, 3 est présente une feuille de renfort 4 encadrée par chacune des couches 2, 3 en s'appliquant sur l'une de leurs faces au niveau du pourtour 8. Avantageusement, la feuille de renfort 4 et les couches 2, 3 sont assemblées au niveau du pourtour 8 par soudage.There is shown in the drawings a packaging 1 substantially in the form of a pellet having a circular outer periphery of a diameter D for example of the order of 52 mm. However, these dimensions and the geometric shape of the package 1 are not limited to this illustration. In particular, the periphery of the packaging 1 can also be made square or rectangular. In the case shown, the packaging 1 has a filter material envelope based on filter paper consisting of two layers 2, 3 assembled at their perimeter 8 along a joint plane, in the case shown substantially in the middle of the thickness of the packaging 1. Between the two layers 2, 3 is present a reinforcing sheet 4 framed by each of the layers 2, 3 by applying on one of their faces at the periphery 8. Advantageously, the reinforcing sheet 4 and the layers 2, 3 are assembled at the periphery 8 by welding.
A titre préféré, la feuille de renfort 4 est constituée à base de papier cartonné recouvert sur chacune de ses faces par une pellicule de matériau polymère.By way of preference, the reinforcing sheet 4 is made from paperboard covered on each of its faces by a film of polymeric material.
La feuille de renfort 4 procure une grande rigidité à l'ensemble dans le plan de joint.The reinforcing sheet 4 provides a high rigidity to the assembly in the joint plane.
La feuille 4 comporte par ailleurs un trou 5 ici représenté (cf. figure 4) de façon circulaire mais cette forme n'est pas limitative.The sheet 4 also comprises a hole 5 represented here (see FIG. 4) in a circular manner, but this form is not limiting.
Une pièce cylindrique creuse 6 est insérée dans le trou 5 de façon ajustée. L'ajustement entre les deux pièces peut être plus ou moins serré ou plus ou moins glissant suivant la nécessité.A hollow cylindrical part 6 is inserted into the hole 5 in an adjusted manner. The fit between the two pieces can be more or less tight or more or less slippery as necessary.
La pièce cylindrique creuse 6 est, dans le cas représenté, une portion de cylindre de section circulaire creux apte à recevoir en son volume intérieur la substance à infuser 7. Les extrémités de la pièce cylindrique creuse 6 sont fermées par les couches 2, 3.The hollow cylindrical part 6 is, in the case shown, a portion of hollow circular section cylinder adapted to receive in its interior volume the substance to infuse 7. The ends of the hollow cylindrical part 6 are closed by the layers 2, 3.
Il s'entend de la présente demande que la pièce cylindrique peut présenter une section circulaire mais peut présenter une section d'une autre forme. En effet, le cylindre de la pièce 6 peut être engendré par une directrice de forme carrée, rectangulaire ou autre.It is understood from the present application that the cylindrical piece may have a circular section but may have a section of another shape. Indeed, the cylinder of the part 6 can be generated by a square, rectangular or other form of directrix.
Dans le cas illustré, et comme cela est visible en figure 4, la pièce cylindrique creuse 6 est formée à partir d'une bande d'une matière à la flexibilité adaptée roulée de sorte que ses extrémités sont jointes afin de constituer une bague.In the illustrated case, and as can be seen in FIG. 4, the hollow cylindrical piece 6 is formed from a band of a material of adapted flexibility rolled so that its ends are joined in order to form a ring.
La pièce 6 a avantageusement une paroi imperméable de sorte que l'infusion et la circulation d'eau se produisent uniquement par son centre. D'autres dispositions ne sont cependant pas exclues. Au cours de la fabrication, on commence par former dans la couche 3 une cuvette et à appliquer la feuille de renfort 4 en superposition. La pièce cylindrique creuse 6 est rapportée dans la feuille de renfort 4 simultanément ou successivement. La couche 2 est ensuite rapportée sur l'ensemble. Une soudure thermique est ensuite réalisée au niveau du pourtour 8 de sorte à solidariser les couches 2, 3 et la feuille de renfort 4. Le pourtour 8 constitue une portion plane permettant notamment de centrer le conditionnement 1 sur la machine de production et/ou de réaliser un guidage du conditionnement au cours de ses phases d'utilisation. A titre d'exemple, dans le cas d'une configuration circulaire, le diamètre d illustré à la figure 3 représentant le diamètre intérieur du pourtour 8 est de l'ordre de 40 mm. The part 6 advantageously has an impermeable wall so that the infusion and the circulation of water occur solely at its center. Other provisions are not excluded, however. During manufacture, it begins by forming in the layer 3 a bowl and to apply the reinforcing sheet 4 superimposed. The hollow cylindrical part 6 is attached to the reinforcing sheet 4 simultaneously or successively. The layer 2 is then reported on the assembly. A thermal weld is then made at the periphery 8 so as to secure the layers 2, 3 and the reinforcing sheet 4. The periphery 8 constitutes a flat portion allowing in particular to center the packaging 1 on the production machine and / or to carry out a guiding of the packaging during its phases of use. By way of example, in the case of a circular configuration, the diameter d illustrated in FIG. 3 representing the inside diameter of the periphery 8 is of the order of 40 mm.
