Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rigid package for containing small items.
- the present invention relates to a rigid package for containing small tiger-like articles such as pencils, sticks or smoking articles or small articles of any other shape and introduced into the package in no particular order, such as candy , paper clips and other small items.
- the rigid package according to the invention is part of the packets with lateral opening and by pivoting.
- rigid packets which have not been provided with a lid giving access to the contents of the pack by the top of the latter, but which are formed by an outer box and an inner box and for which opening the package is obtained by pivoting the inner box relative to the outer box.
- a rigid package is known for example from US-A-I 992 373.
- This rigid package is also equipped with means that limit the pivot angle. These limiting means consist of hooks formed on the inner box and which hook into corresponding slots formed on either side of the inner box on the inner faces of the outer box.
- the rigid package known from US-A-992,373 is manufactured from two separate blanks from which the inner box and the outer box are respectively obtained.
- the two boxes are glued to each other so that relative pivoting between the two boxes is possible. Bonding the two boxes by gluing is economically and technically binding.
- the object of the invention is to overcome this drawback.
- the object of the invention is achieved with a rigid package for containing small items, the pack being formed by an outer box and an inner box interconnected by a pivot connection about an axis of articulation located at the bottom of the package, so that the package is closed when the inner box is tucked into the outer box and the package is opened after pivoting the inner box relative to the outer box.
- the outer box and the inner box are independent of one another and interconnected by first clipping or hooking means, each of the two boxes comprising part of the first clipping or clipping means. hooking.
- the rigid package according to the invention is therefore designed so that the two boxes are connected to each other without requiring a bonding step. This is achieved with a system of attachment or clipping.
- the clipping or hooking system facilitates assembly and ensures both the connection and the possibility of pivoting.
- the chosen assembly technique is called indifferently clipping or hooking. This is justified by the fact that the invention is not limited to the use of a particular material for producing respectively the outer box and the inner box. If it is considered that the clipping assembly technique can not be realized, strictly defined, that thanks to the elasticity of profile areas or body areas concerned, the invention would not apply to packages made cardboard or paper. Indeed, cardboard and paper are soft but not elastic materials. As a result, we should only talk about hooking when using paper or cardboard for the implementation of the invention.
- hooking and clipping will be used interchangeably and without delimitation of one with respect to the other.
- the rigid package according to the invention uses the assembly technique clipping or hooking at least for the realization of the pivot connection between the outer box and the inner box.
- the clipping or hooking technique can be used also for the realization of a means limiting the pivot angle between the two boxes.
- the rigid package is made from two blanks cardboard.
- the principle of the present invention also applies to any other embodiment and any other material that allows to give up a bonding step or equivalent mode of attachment.
- the rigid package according to the invention has a pivot opening of the inner box with respect to the outer box.
- the inner box is for housing articles and the outer box contains at least a portion of the inner box when the package is closed.
- the two boxes of said packet are connected to each other by interlocking clipping or hooking means, each of which comprises two boxes.
- the clipping means thus comprise a latching tongue and a slot in which the latching tongue is intended to engage.
- the hooking tongue is made in the form of an arrow, which makes it possible to optimize its insertion into the slot by translation.
- the tongue-shaped tongue ensures both its introduction into the slot and its anti-shrinkage effect by anchoring on the edges of the slot.
- the slot is adapted with regard to its dimensions, to those of the tongue, and is advantageously formed with a cutout which provides an elastic opening necessary for the introduction of the tongue without initiation of tearing of the slot to be able to fully maintain the anchoring function of the tongue.
- the positioning of the tongue at the bottom of the inner box is advantageously chosen in such a way that the contents of the pack contribute to the following effect: if the contents are tight, the tip of the attachment tongue is subjected to an elastic deformation leading to at a moment of return in rotation favoring the closed maintenance of the packet; if on the other hand the content is not tight, the rigidity of the tip of the latching tongue can allow the contents to be lifted when the inner box is pivoted relative to the outer box, which makes it possible to improve the setting at disposal of articles when the contents are formed by tigiform articles.
- the invention provides means in the form of a connecting tongue coming from the material of the inner box or the outer box and hanging on the other box.
- the connecting tongue may be in the form of clipping or hooking elements or in the form of a band whose free end is trapped in the other box.
- the rigid package according to the invention may also have one or the other of the following characteristics, considered in isolation or in any technically possible combination:
- each of the two boxes is made in one piece with the corresponding part, first clipping means; each of the two boxes is made from a cardboard blank in which is formed the corresponding part of the first clipping means; -
- the rigid package comprises means for limiting the pivot angle of the inner box relative to the outer box, these means being second clipping means; each of the two boxes is made in one piece with a corresponding part of the second clipping means;
- the rigid package comprises means for limiting the pivot angle of the inner box with respect to the outer box, these means being constituted by a strip coming from one of the two boxes, either from the outer box or of the inner box, and fixed by its free end on the other of the two boxes, either on the inner box or on the outer box;
