Definitions

  • the object of the invention relates to the technical field of packaging and conditioning volumetric bodies, containers or articles in the general sense.
  • the object of the invention is more precisely the sleeving and packaging of articles of the box, bottle or cans type using tubular sleeves made of a stretchable plastic material.
  • Such a sleeve is produced in a conventional manner from at least one sheet or sheath of stretchable plastic material.
  • Such a labeling sleeve can be manufactured according to various techniques such as that described for example in the patent application. FR 2 682 320 or the patent US 4,102,728 .
  • a labeling sleeve has a tubular shape delimited between a first end edge and a second so-called engagement end edge from which the sleeve is threaded around the article.
  • Such a labeling sleeve has a perimeter of the order of the perimeter of the article, that is to say substantially equal to or preferably substantially less than the perimeter of the article to adapt by elasticity around the article.
  • the sleeving operation is performed using a gripping system acting on a gripping edge delimited from the engagement edge of the sleeve. This manual or mechanical gripping system (set of pliers) ensures the stretching of the sleeve to allow it to be placed around the article.
  • a retractable plastic labeling sleeve is a different technique from a stretchable sleeve, since it requires having a sleeve of larger dimensions than the article to be sleeved. The sleeve is thus threaded over the article, without any stretching. This technique requires the article with the sleeve to be baked in order for it to retract around the article. Thus, the installation of a shrinkable plastic sleeve around an article does not raise a problem of mechanical strength since the sleeve is not stretched during the sleeve operation.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a labeling sleeve made of stretchable plastic material, capable of being easily sleeved on an article without risk of tearing while offering the advantage of being able to be easily removed from the article without recourse. in particular to a tool.
  • the object of the invention relates to a labeling sleeve according to claim 1, made from at least one film or a sheath of stretchable plastic material, having a tubular shape delimited by an edge of 'end and an engaging edge from which the sleeve can be threaded, by stretching, around at least one article by means of a gripping system acting on a gripping edge delimited from the edge of engagement, the sleeve having a perimeter slightly less than the perimeter of the article to elastically fit around the article.
  • this sleeve comprises a line of weakening provided from the end edge and in the direction of the engagement edge, the grip edge not having a line of weakening.
  • the weakening line comprises a variable resistance so that on the one hand, the gripping edge has a resistance adapted to resist the stretching force during of the operation of threading the sleeve around the article, and on the other hand, the sleeve has from the end edge, a resistance less than the resistance of the grip edge to allow easy opening of the sleeve by manual effort.
  • the line of weakness extends between 5 and 100% of the distance between the end edge and the grip edge.
  • the line of weakness extends from the end edge to the grip edge.
  • the gripping edge extends from the engagement edge over a height of between 10 and 30 mm.
  • the line of weakness extends rectilinearly from the end edge towards the engagement edge.
  • the line of weakness extends perpendicular to the end edge.
  • the sleeve comprises a gripping zone arranged from the end edge, contiguous to the line of weakness to facilitate opening of the sleeve.
  • the line of weakness is produced by pre-cuts, by a difference in resistance of the material constituting the film or of the sheath or by a difference in thickness of the film or of the sheath.
  • the object of the invention relates to a stretchable labeling sleeve 1 intended to be placed around at least one article 2 of any type such as a container, a receptacle or packaging such as a can, a bottle, a pot , etc.
  • Such a labeling sleeve 1 is shaped to fit around the periphery of the article 2 and thus has a generally tubular or cylindrical shape ( Fig. 2 ).
  • Such a labeling sleeve 1 has a perimeter slightly less than the perimeter of the article in order to adapt by elasticity around the article 2 .
  • each labeling sleeve has a tightening rate calculated from the perimeters of labeling sleeve 1 and item 2 .
  • This labeling sleeve 1 has a closed contour or a substantially cylindrical or tubular shape, delimited by a first end edge 1 1 called hereafter end edge and a second opposite end edge 1 2 said edge of engagement intended to constitute the entry edge from which the sleeve 1 is threaded onto the article 2 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • This labeling sleeve 1 is made from at least one film or sheath of stretchable plastic. This labeling sleeve 1 may or may not be equipped with one or more flaps, or even also with a label. Conventionally, this labeling sleeve 1 comprises printing in order to constitute an information medium for indications relating to the article.
  • such a labeling sleeve 1 is intended to be placed around an article 2 by means of a gripping system 4 acting on the sleeve, along a gripping edge 5 delimited from the edge of the sleeve. commitment 1 2 and up to a limit shown in phantom on the Fig. 3 .
  • the gripping rim 5 illustrated illustratively on Fig. 3 extends from the engagement edge 1 2 over a height of between 10 and 30 mm.
  • the gripping system 4 is of the manual or mechanical type and ensures the gripping of the labeling sleeve 1 as for example illustrated by arrows F at the Fig. 3 .
  • This gripping system 4 ensures the stretching of the labeling sleeve 1 to allow its engagement around the article 2. After removing the stretching force, the labeling sleeve 1 automatically tightens around. of article 2 .
  • the labeling sleeve has a line of weakness 10 formed from the end edge 1 1 towards the engagement edge 1 2 .
  • This weakening line 10 has a variable resistance so that on the one hand, the gripping edge 5 has sufficient or suitable resistance to resist stretching during the operation of threading the labeling sleeve 1 around of article 2 and on the other hand, the labeling sleeve 1 has from the end edge 11 , a resistance lower than the resistance of the gripping edge 5 to allow easy opening of the sleeve.
  • the labeling sleeve 1 thus comprises a line of weakness 10 extending from the end edge 11 and over at least part of the height of the sleeve to allow easy opening of the sleeve. sleeve and in particular manual opening without resorting to a cutting tool.
  • the resistance of the line of weakness 10 is adapted to allow the sleeve to remain intact or intact during the sleeve operation and during its use while offering ease of opening under the effect of limited manual effort.
  • This line of weakness 10 extends to the maximum as far as the grip edge 5 so that this grip edge 5 does not include a line of weakness.
  • the line of weakness 10 extends between 5 and 100% of the distance separating the end edge 1 1 and the grip edge 5 .
  • the line of weakness 10 extends from the end edge 11 to the gripping edge 5 as illustrated in the drawings and more precisely to the limit of the gripping edge 5.
  • the weakening line 10 extends rectilinearly from the end edge 1 1 towards the engagement edge 1 2 .
  • the line of weakness 10 extends in a curved direction from the end edge 1 1 to, for example, adapt to the shape of the article or to facilitate the gesture. opening.
  • the line of weakness 10 extends perpendicularly to the end edge 1 2 .
  • a gripping zone such as a cutout is provided from the end edge 1 1 contiguous to the line of weakness 10 to facilitate opening of the sleeve.
  • the weakening line 10 is produced by pre-cuts produced mechanically or otherwise such as by laser, by a difference in the material constituting the film or the sheath, or by a variable thickness of the film or the sheath. It should be noted that in the case where the labeling sleeve 1 is made from a film comprising a weld extending between the end edges 1 1 and 1 2 , the line of weakness 10 is preferably built near this weld.
