Abstract

The assembly has an insert panel comprising a flat surface (10) formed from a short dell (11) and long dell (12). Respective lateral surfaces (111, 112, 121, 122) of the short dell and long dell are placed on one of lateral sections of a roof of the brick pack. The flat surface is placed at the level of edges of the brick pack and a lower layer of the brick pack for supporting weight of an upper layer of the brick pack. The edges are formed by joining frontal sections at the top of the brick pack.

Description

Le domaine de la présente invention est celui du conditionnement pour le transport des produits alimentaires et en particulier de celui des assemblages de briques en carton pouvant contenir des liquides ou tout produit en poudre ou en grains.The field of the present invention is that of packaging for the transport of food products and in particular that of assemblies of cardboard bricks that may contain liquids or any product in powder or grain.

Les briques en carton, telles que les briques de lait ou de jus de fruit, ont traditionnellement des formes parallélépipédiques qui présentent l'avantage de pouvoir être assemblées et empilées sans difficulté. Elles peuvent être collées les unes aux autres ou bien assemblées sous forme de packs, contenant généralement deux, quatre, six, huit briques ou même plus, qui sont eux-mêmes sont collés les uns contre les autres et éventuellement assemblés par un film plastique soudé. Le gerbage des briques ou de tels packs ne pose pas de problème particulier puisque la partie supérieure de l'ensemble est sensiblement plane et horizontale. Il n'en est plus de même avec l'apparition des briques qui ont un dessus en forme de toit à deux pans, avec un bouchon ou un verseur implanté dans un des pans. Pour réaliser l'empilage de ces ensembles il a fallu réaliser des panneaux intercalaires qui servent de structure d'appui pour la couche de briques supérieure et qui s'appuient sur des endroits particuliers des briques de la couche inférieure. Ces panneaux peuvent être en carton alvéolé, en plastique moulé, en polystyrène ou en cellulose moulée.Cardboard bricks, such as bricks of milk or fruit juice, have traditionally parallelepipedic shapes that have the advantage of being assembled and stacked without difficulty. They can be glued to each other or assembled in the form of packs, usually containing two, four, six, eight or more bricks, which are themselves glued against each other and possibly assembled by a welded plastic film . The stacking of bricks or such packs does not pose any particular problem since the upper part of the assembly is substantially flat and horizontal. It is no longer the case with the appearance of bricks that have a top shaped hipped roof, with a plug or pourer implanted in one of the sides. To achieve the stacking of these sets it was necessary to make interlayers that serve as a support structure for the upper layer of bricks and which rely on particular places of the bricks of the lower layer. These panels may be of cardboard, molded plastic, polystyrene or molded cellulose.

Le problème devient encore plus aigu avec l'apparition de briques dont le dessus a la forme d'un toit, non plus à deux pans, mais à quatre pans.The problem becomes even more acute with the appearance of bricks whose top has the form of a roof, no longer two-sided, but four-sided.

L'utilisation du carton pour le panneau intercalaire n'est plus possible car il faudrait faire des découpes pour laisser passer le bouchon et faire des pliures, ce qui ne convient plus pour avoir une résistance mécanique suffisante. Le polystyrène pourrait convenir mécaniquement mais n'est plus accepté à cause des difficultés associées à son recyclage et à l'impact qui en résulte sur l'environnement.The use of the cardboard for the infill panel is no longer possible because it would be necessary to make cuts to let the cap and make creases, which is not suitable for having sufficient strength. Polystyrene may be suitable mechanically but is no longer accepted because of the difficulties associated with its recycling and the resulting impact on the environment.

Le document GB 2 132 173 décrit un panneau intercalaire destiné à porter des emballages de briques en carton. Tel que représenté sur la figure 5 de ce document, les briques présentent chacune deux faces frontales qui se rejoignent pour former une arrête, cette arrête étant en saillie par rapport au reste desdites faces frontales. Le panneau est de forme sensiblement plane et présente des cavités. Chaque cavité est apte à venir s'intercaler et à venir s'appuyer au niveau de la jonction de deux faces frontales de deux briques adjacentes.The document GB 2 132 173 discloses an insert panel for carrying cartons of cardboard bricks. As shown on the figure 5 of this document, the bricks each have two front faces that meet to form a stop, this stop being in projecting from the rest of said front faces. The panel is substantially flat in shape and has cavities. Each cavity is able to come to interpose and come to rest at the junction of two front faces of two adjacent bricks.

De même le document EP 1 6323 934 décrit un panneau intercalaire destiné à porter des briques de carton présentant chacune deux faces frontales se rejoignant au niveau d'une arrête, cette arrête étant en saillie par rapport au reste desdites faces frontales. Afin de protéger cette arrête, le panneau selon ce document (voir figure 12) présente sur sa face destiné à être en contact avec le dessus des briques, des cavités de manière à englober et protéger les arrêtes et, entre deux cavités contiguës des protubérance aptes à venir s'appuyer sur deux faces frontales de deux briques adjacentes.Similarly the document EP 1 6323 934 discloses an intermediate panel for carrying cardboard bricks each having two end faces joining at a stop, this stop being protruding from the rest of said front faces. In order to protect this edge, the panel according to this document (see Figure 12) has on its face intended to be in contact with the top of the bricks, cavities so as to encompass and protect the edges and, between two contiguous cavities protruding capable to come to rest on two front faces of two adjacent bricks.

Les panneaux décrits dans ces deux documents selon l'art antérieur ne peuvent pas s'adapter à des briques qui ont un dessus en forme de toit à quatre pans.The panels described in these two documents according to the prior art can not be adapted to bricks which have a roof-shaped four-sided.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un ensemble de panneaux intercalaires peu coûteux, résistant mécaniquement, respectueux de l'environnement, qui s'adapte sur des ensembles de briques, assemblées en packs ou pas, dont le dessus a la forme d'un toit à quatre pans.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a set of inexpensive, mechanically resistant, environmentally friendly spacer panels which fits on brick assemblies, assembled in packs or not, the top of which has the shape of a four-sided roof.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble de panneaux intercalaires et de briques, chaque panneau étant positionné pour prendre appui sur une couche inférieure de briques afin d'assurer le portage d'une couche supérieure de briques, le dessus desdites briques ayant la forme d'un toit à quatre pans, deux pans latéraux et deux pans frontaux, les deux pans frontaux se rejoignant pour former une arrête au sommet de chaque brique, lesdits panneaux intercalaires comportant une surface sensiblement plane, de ladite surface se développent des formes en creux ayant la forme d'un toit inversé à quatre faces planes inclinées : deux faces latérales et deux faces frontales, les quatre faces se rejoignant au fond du creux en une zone de raccordement en forme d'arrête, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins une des faces latérales des creux repose sur un des pans latéraux du toit desdites briques de la couche inférieure et que la surface sensiblement plane repose au niveau des arrêtes des briques également de la couche inférieure, de façon à supporter le poids des briques de la couche supérieure.For this purpose, the invention relates to a set of interposed panels and bricks, each panel being positioned to rest on a lower layer of bricks to ensure the carrying of a top layer of bricks, the top of said bricks having the form of a four-sided roof, two side panels and two end panels, the two front panels joining to form a stop at the top of each brick, said intermediate panels having a substantially flat surface, said surface develop recessed forms having the form of an inverted roof with four inclined plane faces: two lateral faces and two end faces, the four faces joining at the bottom of the recess in a stop-shaped connection zone, characterized in that at least one of the lateral faces of the recesses rest on one of the lateral faces of the roof of said bricks of the lower layer and that the substantially flat surface rests at the stop are bricks also of the lower layer, so as to support the weight of the bricks of the upper layer.

Une telle configuration permet de faire porter une partie du poids de la couche supérieure par les pans inclinés des toits des briques de la couche inférieure.Such a configuration makes it possible to carry a portion of the weight of the upper layer by the inclined faces of the roofs of the bricks of the lower layer.

De manière préférentielles, les formes en creux sont disposées sur la périphérie de plusieurs ensembles constitués de 6 briques, dit packs de manière à former un quadrilatère, qu'elles recouvrent et sont placées de façon à s'insérer entre deux packs consécutifs, au dessus de leur jointure, le long du grand côté de ces packs.Preferably, the recessed shapes are disposed on the periphery of several sets of 6 bricks, said packs so as to form a quadrilateral, they cover and are placed so as to be inserted between two consecutive packs, above of their join, along the long side of these packs.

Avantageusement, lesdites deux faces inclinées latérales des formes en creux, hors des bords latéraux et frontaux du panneau, sont symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport à un plan vertical, lesdites faces inclinées latérales sont positionnées entre deux packs de briques adjacents le long d'un de leurs grands côtés et lesdites faces frontales s'étendent dans le sens du petit côté des packs.Advantageously, said two lateral inclined faces of the recessed shapes, outside the lateral and front edges of the panel, are symmetrical to one another with respect to a vertical plane, said lateral inclined faces are positioned between two adjacent brick packs on the along one of their long sides and said front faces extend in the direction of the short side of the packs.

Dans un mode préférentiel, au moins un panneau comprend en outre deux formes en tunnel, lesdites formes en tunnel étant associées à une des forme en creux et sont disposées latéralement par rapport à celle-ci, le long du petit côté des packs, de manière à recouvrir et protéger un bouchon présent sur une brique.In a preferred embodiment, at least one panel further comprises two tunnel shapes, said tunnel shapes being associated with one of the recessed shapes and are arranged laterally with respect thereto, along the short side of the packs, so that to cover and protect a plug on a brick.

De préférence, au moins un panneau comprend en outre des formes en creux complémentaires disposées à l'intérieur du quadrilatère constitué par les formes en creux, de manière à fournir une certaine rigidité lors de la fabrication dudit panneau.Preferably, at least one panel further comprises complementary hollow shapes disposed within the quadrilateral formed by the recessed shapes, so as to provide a certain rigidity during the manufacture of said panel.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, des formes en creux étroites sont positionnées sur au moins un bord latéral du panneau de façon à servir d'appui aux briques de la couche supérieure positionnées sur ledit bord latéral.According to a feature of the invention, narrow recessed shapes are positioned on at least one side edge of the panel so as to serve as support for the bricks of the top layer positioned on said side edge.

Avantageusement, les dimensions en longueur et en largeur d'un panneau intercalaire sont des multiples des longueurs et des largeurs des packs de briques assemblées.Advantageously, the length and width dimensions of a spacer panel are multiples of the lengths and widths of the assembled brick packs.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, détails, caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative détaillée qui va suivre, d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés.The invention will be better understood, and other objects, details, features and advantages thereof will become more clearly apparent in the following detailed explanatory description of a embodiment of the invention given by way of purely illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

  • the figure 3 is a partial top view of an intermediate panel according to the invention;
  • the Figures 4, 5 and 6 are views in section, respectively according to DD, AA and CC of an intermediate panel according to the invention.

En se référant à la figure 1, on voit un pack de six briques 1, posé sur un panneau 2 selon l'invention. Le panneau 2 est réalisé en cellulose moulée, ce qui permet de réaliser des formes complexes avec une épaisseur faible, tout en présentant une bonne tenue mécanique. Ce panneau recouvre une couche de 96 briques correspondant à 16 packs de six briques chacun. Les briques d'un même pack sont assemblées par un moyen (non représenté) tel qu'un film plastique soudé.Referring to the figure 1 we see a pack of six bricks 1, placed on a panel 2 according to the invention. The panel 2 is made of molded cellulose, which allows for complex shapes with a small thickness, while having a good mechanical strength. This panel covers a layer of 96 bricks corresponding to 16 packs of six bricks each. The bricks of the same pack are assembled by a means (not shown) such as a welded plastic film.

Sur la figure 2 est représenté un pack de six briques 1, ayant chacune la forme d'un parallélépipède rectangle surmonté d'un toit à quatre pans. Le pack représenté montre trois briques alignées dans le sens de la longueur (grand côté du pack) et deux dans le sens de la largeur (petit côté du pack), sans que cette configuration soit limitative dans le cadre de l'invention, qui peut parfaitement être adaptée à des briques disposées selon un autre arrangement ou même têtes bêches. Le toit des briques illustrées sur la figure 2 présente deux pans frontaux 3, 4 dont l'un 3 porte un bouchon 7, et deux pans latéraux 5, 6. Les pans frontaux sont ici orientés face au petit côté du pack et les pans latéraux face au grand côté. Les deux pans frontaux se rejoignent pour former une arête 8 au sommet de la brique.On the figure 2 is represented a pack of six bricks 1, each having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped surmounted by a roof with four sides. The pack shown shows three bricks aligned in the length direction (large side of the pack) and two in the width direction (small side of the pack), without this configuration being limiting in the context of the invention, which can perfectly be adapted to bricks arranged according to another arrangement or even heads spades. The roof of the bricks illustrated on the figure 2 has two front panels 3, 4, one of which carries a cap 7, and two side panels 5, 6. The front panels are here facing the small side of the pack and the side panels facing the long side. The two front panels meet to form an edge 8 at the top of the brick.

En référence aux figures 3 à 6 on voit un panneau intercalaire selon l'invention dont la majeure partie a une forme sensiblement plane 10. Des formes en creux sont disposées régulièrement sur cette surface de façon à prendre place entre les protubérances des briques qu'elle a pour fonction de recouvrir; elles servent également à donner une rigidité suffisante au panneau en cellulose moulée, notamment lors de la phase de séchage pendant son élaboration. Certaines parties de ces formes en creux s'appuient sur des surfaces correspondantes des briques pour participer à la reprise du poids de la couche de briques supérieure. D'autres n'ont pour fonction que de protéger les éléments de la couche inférieure, tels par exemple que les bouchons et leur bague d'inviolabilité.With reference to Figures 3 to 6 an intercalary panel according to the invention is shown, most of which has a substantially flat shape 10. Deformed shapes are regularly arranged on this surface so as to take place between the protuberances of the bricks which it has the function of covering; they also serve to give sufficient rigidity to the molded cellulose board, especially during the phase drying during its elaboration. Some parts of these recessed forms rely on corresponding surfaces of the bricks to participate in the recovery of the weight of the upper brick layer. Others have the function of protecting the elements of the lower layer, such as for example the caps and their tamper-evident ring.

Les formes en creux présentées sur les figures 3 à 6 sont essentiellement de trois ordres, une forme en creux de type vallon court 11, une forme en creux de type vallon long 12 et une forme en tunnel 13. Dans la disposition illustrée sur les figures, les formes en creux de type vallon 11 ou 12 sont disposées sur la périphérie des packs qu'elles recouvrent et placées de façon à s'insérer entre deux packs consécutifs, le long du grand côté de ces packs. Les formes en tunnel sont associées aux formes en creux de type vallon long, et disposées latéralement par rapport à celles-ci, c'est-à-dire le long du petit côté des packs. Elles ont pour objet de recouvrir et protéger les bouchons 7 des briques.The hollow forms presented on the Figures 3 to 6 are essentially of three kinds, a recessed form of short valley type 11, a recessed form of long valley type 12 and a tunnel form 13. In the arrangement illustrated in the figures, valley-type hollow forms 11 or 12 are disposed on the periphery of the packs they cover and placed so as to be inserted between two consecutive packs, along the long side of these packs. The tunnel forms are associated with the hollow form of long valley type, and arranged laterally with respect thereto, that is to say along the short side of the packs. Their purpose is to cover and protect the plugs 7 bricks.

Sur les bords du panneau intercalaire les formes en creux 11 ou 12 et les formes en tunnel 13, ont des longueurs ou des largeurs réduites de moitié pour prendre en compte le fait qu'elles ne recouvriront que deux briques au lieu des quatre que recouvrent les formes en creux situées au milieu du panneau. Les formes en creux de type vallon court 11e ou vallon long 12e positionnées le long des grands côtés de la couche de briques sont réduites de moitié dans le sens de leur largeur, tandis que les formes en creux de type vallon long 12c ou les formes en tunnel 13c positionnées le long des petits côtés de la couche de briques sont réduites de moitié dans le sens de leur longueur.On the edges of the intermediate panel the recessed shapes 11 or 12 and the tunnel shapes 13, have lengths or widths halved to take into account the fact that they will cover only two bricks instead of the four covered by the hollow forms located in the middle of the panel. The hollow forms of the 11th or 12th long valley type positioned along the long sides of the brick layer are reduced by half in the width direction, whereas the hollow valley 12c type shapes or the 13c tunnel positioned along the short sides of the brick layer are reduced by half in the direction of their length.

Tel que cela apparaît sur la figure 3 le panneau intercalaire présente également des formes en creux complémentaires 14 disposées à l'intérieur du quadrilatère constitué par les formes en creux 11 et 12. Elles ne participent pas au portage de la couche supérieure de briques mais servent à donner une rigidité suffisante au panneau intercalaire lors de sa fabrication.As it appears on the figure 3 the intermediate panel also has complementary hollow shapes 14 arranged inside the quadrilateral formed by the hollow forms 11 and 12. They do not participate in the carrying of the top layer of bricks but serve to give sufficient rigidity to the intermediate panel during its manufacture.

A la différence des autres formes en creux évoquées ci-dessus, les formes en creux de type vallon, qu'il s'agisse des vallons courts 11 ou des vallons longs 12, ont pour fonction de transmettre à la couche inférieure les efforts résultant du poids de la couche de briques supérieure. Elles se présentent globalement sous la forme d'un toit inversé ayant quatre faces planes inclinées, raccordées entre elles et à la surface plane 10 du panneau par des surface courbes du type congés de raccordement. Les quatre faces se rejoignent au fond du creux en une zone courbe de raccordement en forme d'arête. Deux faces latérales, 111 et 112 pour les vallon courts, 121 et 122 pour les vallons longs, s'étendent dans le sens du grand côté des packs; deux faces frontales, 113 et 114 pour les vallons courts, 123 et 124 pour les vallons longs, s'étendent dans le sens du petit côté des packs.Unlike the other hollow forms mentioned above, the vallon type hollow forms, whether short valleys 11 or long valleys 12, have the function of transmitting to the lower layer the forces resulting from the weight of the brick layer higher. They are generally in the form of an inverted roof having four flat inclined faces connected to each other and to the flat surface 10 of the panel by curved surfaces of the fillet type connection. The four faces meet at the bottom of the hollow in a curved connection area in the form of an edge. Two lateral faces, 111 and 112 for the short valleys, 121 and 122 for the long valleys, extend in the direction of the long side of the packs; two frontal faces, 113 and 114 for the short valleys, 123 and 124 for the long valleys, extend in the direction of the short side of the packs.

Les faces latérales 111, 112, 121, 122 sont positionnées en face et ont sensiblement la même inclinaison que les pans latéraux 5, 6 du toit des briques. Elles coopèrent ainsi avec le toit de certaines des briques de la couche inférieure, ce qui constitue une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention. Lors du positionnement du panneau intercalaire sur la couche inférieure, les faces latérales des formes en creux de type vallon viennent se poser sur les pans latéraux des toits des briques et y prendre appui pour soutenir le poids de la couche supérieure. Le poids de cette couche supérieure se répartit in fine entre toutes les faces latérales 111, 112, 121, 122 des formes en creux du type vallon court ou vallon long et entre la surface plane 10 au niveau des arêtes 8 des briques de la couche inférieure. Les autres formes en creux ne participent a priori pas au soutien de la couche supérieure.The side faces 111, 112, 121, 122 are positioned opposite and have substantially the same inclination as the side panels 5, 6 of the roof of the bricks. They thus cooperate with the roof of some of the bricks of the lower layer, which is an essential feature of the invention. When positioning the intermediate panel on the lower layer, the side faces of valley type hollow forms come to rest on the side panels of the roofs of the bricks and bear there to support the weight of the upper layer. The weight of this upper layer is distributed in fine between all the lateral faces 111, 112, 121, 122 of the hollow forms of the short valley or long valle and between the flat surface 10 at the edges 8 of the bricks of the lower layer . The other hollow forms do not participate a priori to the support of the upper layer.

On va maintenant décrire la structure d'un panneau intercalaire complet, tel qu'on peut le voir sur la figure 1. Ses dimensions en longueur et en largeur sont des multiples des longueur et largeur des packs de briques assemblées. Les faces 3 des briques portant les bouchons étant, dans la configuration illustrée, toutes alignées dans le même sens, les formes en creux de type vallon 11 et 12 sont positionnées le long des grands côtés des packs, au dessus de leur jointure avec le pack adjacent. Les formes en vallon court et en vallon long sont réparties le long de ce grand côté selon un schéma qui se reproduit à chaque longueur de pack, sans que le nombre de vallons courts et de vallons longs dans la longueur d'un pack soit essentiel pour la réalisation de l'invention. Dans l'exemple représenté les vallons courts et les vallons longs alternent de façon régulière, les vallons longs étant positionnés en extrémité de packs et un vallon court étant positionné entre deux vallons longs.We will now describe the structure of a complete intermediate panel, as can be seen on the figure 1 . Its length and width dimensions are multiples of the length and width of the assembled brick packs. The faces 3 of the bricks carrying the plugs being, in the illustrated configuration, all aligned in the same direction, the hollow valley type 11 and 12 are positioned along the long sides of the packs, above their joint with the pack adjacent. The forms in short valley and long valley are distributed along this long side according to a pattern that is reproduced at each pack length, without the number of short valleys and valleys long in the length of a pack is essential for the embodiment of the invention. In the example shown, the short valleys and the long valleys alternate regularly, the long valleys being positioned in end of packs and a short valley being positioned between two long valleys.

Sur les bords latéraux du panneau sont positionnées des formes en creux étroites de type vallons 11e, 12e, dont la largeur est la moitié de celle des vallons situés au milieu du panneau. De même, sur les bords frontaux du panneau sont positionnées des formes en creux de type vallon long raccourcies 12c, dont la longueur est la moitié de celle des vallons longs situés au milieu du panneau. Ces vallons étroits et ces vallons longs raccourcis sont importants dans la mesure où ils procurent une assise aux briques de la couche supérieure qui sont situées sur les bords de l'assemblage.On the lateral edges of the panel are positioned narrow hollow forms of valleys 11e, 12e, whose width is half that of the valleys in the middle of the panel. Similarly, on the front edges of the panel are positioned recessed forms 12c long valley shortened, whose length is half that of the long valleys in the middle of the panel. These narrow valleys and long shortened valleys are important in that they provide a seating for the bricks of the top layer that are located on the edges of the assembly.

Des formes complémentaires, en creux ou en relief, sont ensuite réparties de façon régulière pour améliorer la tenue mécanique du panneau. Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1, des formes en tunnel 13 sont positionnées, latéralement, au niveau de chacun des vallons longs et recouvrent les bouchons 7 d'une rangée latérale de briques 1. Au niveau du bord frontal du panneau qui fait face aux pans des briques 3 portant les bouchons, ces formes en tunnel sont des formes raccourcies 13c. Enfin de façon optionnelle des formes en creux complémentaires 14 sont positionnées au dessus de la ligne de jonction de deux briques d'un même pack.Complementary shapes, hollow or raised, are then evenly distributed to improve the mechanical strength of the panel. In the example shown on the figure 1 tunnel-shaped shapes 13 are positioned, laterally, at each of the long valleys and cover the plugs 7 of a lateral row of bricks 1. At the front edge of the panel which faces the faces of the bricks 3 carrying the plugs these tunnel forms are shortened forms 13c. Finally optionally complementary hollow shapes 14 are positioned above the junction line of two bricks of the same pack.

Au final la couche de briques supérieure repose sur le panneau intercalaire qui prend appui sur les faces inclinées 111, 112, 121, 122 des vallons courts 11 et des vallons longs 12, ainsi que sur les arêtes 8 des briques à travers la face sensiblement horizontale 10 du panneau. On obtient ainsi une très bonne répartition du poids de la couche supérieure sur les parties des briques de la couche inférieure qui présentent une rigidité structurale et on évite de voir un fléchissement d'une partie du panneau du fait d'un chargement excessif.Finally the upper brick layer rests on the intermediate panel which bears on the inclined faces 111, 112, 121, 122 of the small valleys 11 and long valleys 12, and on the edges 8 of the bricks through the substantially horizontal face 10 of the panel. This gives a very good distribution of the weight of the upper layer on the parts of the bricks of the lower layer which have a structural rigidity and one avoids seeing a deflection of a part of the panel due to excessive loading.

L'ensemble de panneaux intercalaires selon l'invention présente l'avantage de faciliter le transport de briques ou packs de briques à 4 pans.The set of intermediate panels according to the invention has the advantage of facilitating the transport of bricks or packs of bricks with 4 sides.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en relation avec un mode de réalisation particulier, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits, ainsi que leurs combinaisons, si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is obvious that it is not limited thereto and that it comprises all the technical equivalents of the means described, as well as their combinations, if these fall within the scope of the invention.
