Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention concerne un conteneur, du type « bag in box », destiné à contenir du vin.The present invention relates to a container, type "bag in box" for containing wine.

ARRIERE PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUEBACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

Les conteneurs connus du genre en question comportent généralement :

  1. a) une poche souple, en matière plastique à usage alimentaire, pourvue d'un bec verseur ;
  2. b) une enveloppe, essentiellement rigide, adaptée pour :
    • donner la forme au produit fini ;
    • contenir ladite poche souple remplie de vin ainsi que ledit bec verseur ;
    • permettre la sortie et le maintien de ce dernier sur de ladite enveloppe en vue de son utilisation.
Known containers of the kind in question generally include:
  1. (a) a flexible plastic food-grade pouch with a spout;
  2. b) an envelope, essentially rigid, adapted for:
    • give shape to the finished product;
    • contain said flexible pouch filled with wine and said spout;
    • allow the exit and maintenance of the latter on said envelope for use.

Les enveloppes en question sont généralement fabriquées en carton, elles sont de forme parallélépipédique et la sortie du bec verseur et son maintien mettent en oeuvre des lignes de prédécoupe et de prépliage agencées sur l'une des faces.The envelopes in question are generally made of cardboard, they are of parallelepipedic shape and the outlet of the pouring spout and its maintenance implement pre-cut and pre-fold lines arranged on one of the faces.

Leur ouverture et plus particulièrement leur fermeture ne sont pas toujours aisés et le bec verseur n'est pas non plus toujours stable une fois les éléments prédécoupés et prépliés remis en position fonctionnelle.Their opening and more particularly their closure are not always easy and the spout is also not always stable once the pre-cut and pre-folded elements returned to the functional position.

En outre, ils sont tous parallélépipédiques et ne présentent donc pas d'originalité dans leur forme.In addition, they are all parallelepipedic and therefore have no originality in their form.

RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

L'invention vise à réaliser un conteneur du genre en question qui élimine les inconvénients susmentionnés.The invention aims to provide a container of the kind in question which eliminates the aforementioned drawbacks.

A cet effet, le conteneur selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce que l'enveloppe externe est constituée d'un corps tubulaire, en forme de cylindre bombé, fermé aux deux extrémités par deux fonds circulaires transversaux emboîtables dont l'un comporte un moyen, destiné à maintenir le bec verseur, qui est constitué :

  • d'une embase annulaire apte à s'emboîter dans une ouverture circulaire aménagée sur ledit fond et dont l'ouverture est définie pour permettre le passage du bec verseur en vue de son utilisation :
  • d'un élément de fermeture constitué d'une partie circulaire apte à s'emboîter, de manière amovible, dans ladite embase annulaire et d'une partie détachable apte à dégager une ouverture, en forme de fer à cheval, destinée à recevoir, en vue de son maintien, la base du bec verseur.
For this purpose, the container according to the invention is essentially characterized in that the outer casing is constituted by a tubular body, in the form of a curved cylinder, closed at both ends by two transverse interlocking transverse bases, one of which has a medium, intended to maintain the pouring spout, which consists of:
  • an annular base adapted to fit into a circular opening on said bottom and whose opening is defined to allow the passage of the spout for use:
  • a closure element consisting of a circular part adapted to fit, removably, in said annular base and a detachable part adapted to to reveal an opening, in the shape of a horseshoe, intended to receive, in order to maintain it, the base of the spout.

La mise en oeuvre dudit conteneur par le consommateur consiste, après avoir enlevé la partie détachable :

  1. a) à désemboîter la partie circulaire de l'embase annulaire ;
  2. b) à sortir le bec verseur de l'enveloppe ;
  3. c) à glisser la base dudit bec verseur dans l'ouverture de ladite partie circulaire ;
  4. d) à remboîter celle-ci dans l'embase annulaire.
The implementation of said container by the consumer consists, after having removed the detachable part:
  1. a) disengaging the circular portion of the annular base;
  2. b) pulling the spout out of the envelope;
  3. c) sliding the base of said spout into the opening of said circular portion;
  4. d) to re-fit the latter in the annular base.

Ainsi réalisé, ledit conteneur est facile à mettre en oeuvre par le consommateur : il suffit d'enfoncer la partie détachable, d'enlever la partie circulaire en passant un doigt dans l'ouverture ainsi dégagée, d'y glisser le bec verseur et de remboîter le tout sans aucune autre manipulation.Thus realized, said container is easy to implement by the consumer: it is sufficient to push the detachable part, to remove the circular part by passing a finger in the opening thus released, to slide the spout and repack all without any other manipulation.

En outre le bec verseur y est positionné de manière stable et le tout à la forme d'un petit tonneau.In addition, the spout is stably positioned therein and all in the form of a small barrel.
