Definitions

• the present invention relates to a product presentation device having at least two pots connected by a connecting region located in their upper part.
• Products such as yogurts are usually delivered to stores in cardboard bundles arranged on a pallet.
• the grouping trays are generally very simple, having a bottom whose periphery is surrounded by a wall ensuring the maintenance of the products inside. When putting on the shelf, the products are removed from the grouping trays, and the trays are evacuated. To save in loading time, it is also possible that the grouping trays are placed directly on the shelves.
• a fourth problem is the stacking of pots on pallets whose height is about 2 meters. Indeed, the grouping trays are stacked on each other by their bottom which rests on the vertical walls forming the periphery of these trays and especially on the products of the lower layer or layers which thus support most of the weight.
• the present invention relates to a device for presenting products in the shelves of a store that is able to avoid at least one of the aforementioned drawbacks.
• the invention thus relates to a product presentation device having at least two pots connected by a connecting region located in their upper part, characterized in that it has a plate having a bottom and at least one vertical separation wall obtained by folding edge to edge and at 90 ° of two regions of a blank, on which the lower face of at least one connecting region bears, said two aforementioned pots being located on either side of the partition wall .
• a said partition wall extends from a front edge to a rear edge of the plate, which makes it possible to best contribute to the compressive strength of the pairs of pots by carrying them by the middle over the entire length of the connection between the pots.
• the device may comprise a plurality of separation walls separated by a distance corresponding to 2 cavities.
• the products may be grouped in multiples of two, in particular in groups of 2, 4, 6 or 8 pots arranged in one or more rows.
• At least one partition wall can extend from one edge to the other of the blank.
• the device is generally formed from a single blank, especially cardboard.
• the bottom of the tray is advantageously bordered by a first wall adapted to hold the products and along a first side of the bottom.
• the first wall is extended on either side by a second and a third wall which are adjacent to it and which extend over part of a second and a third side adjacent to the first side, in particular on less than half the length of the second and third sides, and more particularly about one-third of this length.
• the device can be characterized in that the first wall is formed by folding a first hinged flap on the first side of the plate and in that the second and third wall are formed by folding a second and a third hinged flap on the second and third sides of the tray, which may have a bearing flap partially overlapping with the first flap.
• the device may comprise at least one holding flap hinged to a said folded region edge to edge and coming into abutment between the first holding region, which by folding and gluing of three overlapping flaps reinforces the rear portion which is used for the manipulation, while inscribing the cut of the blank in a rectangle of optimal size.
• At least one holding wall may have at its lower part and at its upper part an extension and a complementary cut which cooperate during the superposition of the products.
• At least the bottom of the tray and at least one partition wall may have openings so as to facilitate air circulation.
• FIG. 1a and 1b, and FIGS. 2a and 2b represent in front and rear perspective a plate according to a first and a second embodiment of the invention, in particular with a breakaway stop for holding the pots.
• FIGS. 3a and 3b show a presentation device comprising the plate of FIGS. 1a and 1b and jars of yoghurt as a quadrette ( Figure 3a - rear perspective) or groups of 8 ( Figure 3b - forward perspective).
• FIGS. 4a and 4b illustrate the superposition of presentation devices according to FIG. 3a respectively in rear perspective and in front perspective with partial removal of the products, FIG. 4c being a partial enlargement of FIG. 4a to show the region where the two trays are nested.
• FIG. 5 illustrates in perspective before the superposition of two presentation devices according to Figure 3b with removal of two groups of 8 pots.
• FIG. 6 is a plan view of a blank for the production of a tray according to the preceding figures.
• FIG. 7a and 7b show a variant respectively of a presentation device and a blank for its implementation.
• a plate 1 comprises a bottom 2 of generally rectangular shape and two partition walls 4 and 5 extending parallel to the sides 23 and 24, preferably between the front edge 25 and a rear wall 22.
• This rear wall 22 is bordered by two lateral walls 20 and 21 which are adjacent to it and which extend over part of the length, here about one third of the two sides 23 and 24.
• the bottom 22 has a gripping opening 26 'obtained by folding at 90 ° and gluing a cut flap 26 which allows a reinforcement in this area.
• the side walls 20 and 21 have an upper edge 32 which extends to about one-third of the sides 23 and 24 from the rear edge 25 ', and which extends forwards by a cut-off portion 31 and a vertical edge 30 and rearward by a raised extension 33 defined by a cut-off 33 'and an upper edge 33 ".
• the side walls 20 and 21 are extended by flaps 60 and 61 which overlap the wall 22 and have an upper edge 35 along the upper edge 36 of the wall 22 and an extension extension 34 defined by a section cut 34 'and an upper edge 34 ".
• the side walls 20 and 21 have, at their lower rear part, trapezoidal cuts 37 complementary to the extensions 33, and are adjacent to trapezoidal cuts 38 of the flaps 60 and 61, which are complementary to the extensions 34, these extensions and cutouts making it possible to to superpose the trays while maintaining them, also because of the cuts 24 'and 25 "of the sides 24 and 25', extensions and complementary cuts may be provided in the flap 22, in particular in the absence of the flaps 60 and 61.
• FIGS. 2a and 2b are distinguished from FIGS. 1a and 1b by holding elements deployed with two holding flaps 42 and 43, as well as 52 and 53 (FIG. ) obtained by 44 'and 44 "cuts, and 54' and 54" which are deployed to form two 90 ° flaps 42 and 43 on the one hand and 52 and 53 on the other hand, which are easily tearable.
• These optional holding elements 52 and 53 may be arranged, preferably near the front edge 25 as shown, to facilitate their tearing or folding during the shelves, or even in the space 74 between two products. Just make precuts in a cardboard blank to get them.
• one or more holding devices can be implemented with a single deployable flap.
• Figures 3a and 3b show a presentation device associating a tray described above and yoghurt pots by four (quadrette 75) for Figure 3a and by eight (mark 80) for Figure 3b.
• Figures 4c and 4b illustrate the superimposition of the presentation devices with holding by the trapezoid cuts 37 and 38 and the raised extensions 33 and 34 (see Figure 4c).
• FIG. 4b shows the yogurt pots 72 arranged astride the walls 4 and 5, two pots of a quadrette 75 being disposed on each side of a wall.
• Figure 5 shows the arrangement of yoghurt 8 (80) either laterally or in the length of the tray. The height of the partition walls 4 and 5 is chosen so that their upper face 48, 58 comes into substantially contact with the lower face 71 of the bridge regions 70 separating the pots 72.
• the presentation device which is designed to be placed on the shelf eliminates or significantly reduces the cardboards in which the pots are packed and which are brought home by the consumers, hence the problems referred to above for which an eco-tax is levied.
• the device as described has advantages as to shelving.
• the tray may be covered with printed information that will be discovered as and when the products are collected by the customers.
• the side flaps 20 and 21 and the folded flaps 60 and 61 mechanically reinforce the tray at its rear portion and provide a grip without problem for handling and shelving.
• the absence of a wall over most of the periphery of the plate facilitates the circulation of air during the passage of products in a cooling tunnel. This circulation is facilitated by the presence of the cuts 26 "and / or 27 and / or 28 and / or 29 and / or 45 and / or 55.
• the mechanical function of the longitudinal walls 4 and 5 on which the products are placed on horseback is reinforced in the case where they come from folding edge to edge of two panels 46 and 47 on the one hand and 56 and 57 on the other hand whose upper edges respectively 48 and 58 serve to support the bridge regions 71 between pots 72 or rows of pots joined together.
• the tray 2 can be formed from a carton blank shown in FIG.
• the walls 4 and 5 are formed by folding edge to edge and gluing the panels 46 and 47 on the one hand and 56 and 57 on the other hand. Therefore, the material constituting the walls 4 and 5 which provide the vertical compressive strength is integral with the bottom of the device, which is favorable to a good transmission of forces and the mechanical strength of the assembly.
• the folding flaps 20 and 21 form the side panels, and the folding of the bottom flap 22 is followed by the folding of the flaps 60 and 61 of the side panels 20 and 21.
• the device illustrated in Figures 7a and 7b has two additional flaps 93 and 94 which are articulated to the rear edge of a panel (46, 47; 56, 57) which by folding edge to edge form the longitudinal walls 4 and 5.
• the rear part of the presentation device then has the central flap 92, the aforementioned flaps 93 and 94 and the flaps 90 and 91 which extend the lateral flaps 20 and 21.
• the flaps 93 and 94 are hinged to the rear edge respectively panels 46 and 57.
• FIG 7a is obtained at both ends of the bottom 92, a partial overlap with the shutters 90 and 95 on the one hand and 91 and 94 on the other hand, to form a triple thickness which strengthens the device in this region that is used for manipulation.
• the blank fits into an optimized contour rectangle, with minimal loss of material.
