Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of packaging, cardboard or other semi-rigid material, generally cylindrical shaped articles such as bottles or boxes, drink or other liquid or granular products.
  • beverage bottles are packaged in cardboard boxes of parallelepipedal or substantially parallelepipedal shape, side by side in a standing position.
  • the invention relates to the packaging of bottles, for example water, in boxes with two parallel rows.
  • Such a type of cardboard packaging is known. It consists of a box whose bottles or boxes are arranged on the bottom parallel to the walls of the box. In use in the refrigerator, the box is lying on a side, so that the bottles are themselves lying down, and comprises a detachable corner providing a dispensing opening in the longitudinal direction of the bottles. Parallel to the opening, possibly a bottom portion tilts around an axis parallel to the bottles and defines a hopper for receiving the bottles sliding through the opening.
  • the aim of the invention is to produce a package comprising a gripping handle that is both strong enough to support a solid box while occupying the least possible space during transport to the distribution area, in particular not creating an oversize unfavorable to palletization.
  • Packageable bag packages are known by US 3019960 and US 1949986 .
  • a package according to the invention is defined by the main claim,
  • the invention has many advantages.
  • the handle In the retracted position the handle is completely housed in the box it creates no extra thickness that would interfere with the proper stacking of crates during transport.
  • the solution is ergonomically favorable because the handle can be extended enough for easy grip.
  • its central position makes it possible to balance the load.
  • the handle As the handle is formed in a central panel, it performs the function of separating the bottles participating in a good distribution of loads in the box.
  • This arrangement is particularly advantageous because the returns are then in abutment against the transverse walls and, in the deployed position, their edge abuts against the hinges of the second flaps.
  • the transfer of loads between the handle and the body is thus provided without deformation of the closing flaps of the latter when the body is suspended by the handle during manual transport.
  • this panel whose grooves are vertical improves the performance RCV (resistance in vertical compression) of the body by its doubled length and the dihedron ends.
  • the panel comprises two plates against each other, the two plates each comprising two returns at right angles.
  • the panel is formed of a single plate with a return on each side.
  • the package also fulfills the bottle dispensing function.
  • the belt of the body comprises a detachable portion, releasing a dispensing opening bottles.
  • the dispensing opening released by the detachable portion is shaped to distribute the bottles parallel to the panel.
  • the panel is preferably formed of a single plate.
  • the detachable portion extends on either side of an edge of the belt of the box parallel to said panel with handle.
  • the belt of the body comprises a portion detachable in part to form a wedge of elevation of the part of the belt away from the detachable portion. This feature allows to tilt the box towards the dispensing opening and facilitate the gripping of the bottles.
  • Box 1 of the figure 1 is made in a conventional manner for example by placing a volume of a cardboard plate suitably grooved and cut. It comprises a belt 2.
  • the bottom of the box is not visible is any, for example of the American box type with four flaps folded over each other and stapled or glued together.
  • the upper side is opened here and allows the loading of articles in the box.
  • first flaps 3 and 4 articulated on the upper edge of the box. They are arranged on the opposite sides the longest in this embodiment but it is not an obligation.
  • the first flaps each comprise a flap 31 and 41 respectively which is the simple extension of the flap to its free edge and folded along a fold line called creasing. There is a central opening 32 and 42 respectively straddling the fold line.
  • the two second flaps 5 and 6 adjacent to the first two are articulated on the edges of the other two sides of the belt 2. They have a slot 51 and 61 perpendicular to their hinge line and median. The slots widen at 52 and 62 respectively to their free edge.
  • the invention also includes variants within the reach of those skilled in the art.
  • the figure 2 represents a panel 10 consisting of two half-plates 10a and 10'a.
  • the half plates are connected along a fold line.
  • Each plate comprises along the edges perpendicular to the fold line, two shutters forming returns 10r and 10'r respectively. These returns extend from the opposite edge of the fold line to a distance less than that separating the edge opposite the fold line to the fold line. Openings 10b and 10'b respectively are cut near the fold line.
  • the panel is seen above the body 1, open and loaded bottles.
  • the width of the panel 10 is the same as that of the longitudinal flap 3.
  • the returns 10r and 10'r are at right angles to the panel and are slid along the inner faces of the lateral transverse walls of the belt 2.
  • the panel forms partition wall between the two rows of bottles. Its height is at most equal to that of the belt.
  • the following steps consist in folding the flaps 5 and 6 first and then the flaps 3 and 4 thereon.
  • the flaps 31 and 41 are slid in the slots 51 and 61. It is seen on the figure 4 that the flap 4 has been folded over the flaps 5 and 6 its flap 41 already engaged in the slots of the flaps 5 and 6.
  • the flap 3 has not yet been folded on the previous flaps.
  • the panel 10 is not visible; he is fully pushed into the box.
  • the figure 5 shows the closed box ready to be shipped. On the upper face is observed the opening defined by the cutouts 32 and 42 made in the flaps 3 and 4 respectively. This opening is partitioned by the panel 10. This arrangement shows that the body externally has the same volume as a box without handle.
  • the figure 6 shows the crate whose handle has been deployed.
  • the output height of the panel is a function of the height of the returns, until they abut against the inner face of the flaps 5 and 6.
  • the returns 10r are pressed against the walls of the belt, their contact with flaps 5 and 6 are along the hinge.
  • the flutes of the cardboard plates are preferably oriented in the vertical direction to take advantage of their contribution to the strength of the cardboard in this direction.
  • the figure 7 shows a variant of the box at an angle that allows to see the precut line 31 of a portion 2 'of the belt.
  • the precut line is made for example with a succession of notches that weaken the carton and allow cutting the carton along this line by simply pulling the portion 2 '.
  • this portion 2 ' is detachable to release a dispensing opening in the belt.
  • This detachable portion extends over two faces of the belt 2 and their two adjacent bottom and top walls.
  • Other precut lines are possible.
  • the panel is preferably formed of a single plate with a flap on each side only.
  • an inner panel comprising a plate with two dihedral dihedral dihedral, the dihedron being arranged so as not to close the opening released by the removal of the precut and do not hide the bottle.
  • This flap of the dihedron is bent down preferably.
  • a shim which is formed from a portion 2 "detachable at least partially from the belt. figure 9 the portion 2 "is partially precut in the belt. While rolling this portion of the belt is created a wedge attached to the belt. The wedge is chosen to give the desired inclination to the package.
  • the upper flaps do not include reentrant flaps. They are held against the second flaps by gluing or stapling.
