Definitions

  • the technical field of the present invention is that of packaging. More particularly, the present invention relates to a package of substantially parallelepiped shape of flexible material which, after use of its contents, can be folded and locked in the folded position.
  • the prior art offers numerous packages previously folded and easily unfolded.
  • the document FR 2,507,156 discloses a folded package for unfolding and shaping, the presentation and transport of food products, particularly for the fast food industry.
  • Such packages are intended to be stored in folded form before use, with minimal bulk, and to be easily deployed.
  • their ability to be refolded, for example for disposal, is not essential.
  • the document GB 2,252,546 discloses a package that can be used both to transport products, and to present them, after opening two pre-cut sides acting as a cover.
  • This dual function, transport and presentation meets the need to optimize human intervention in the transport-storage-presentation chain, and protect the environment by avoiding having a type of packaging by function.
  • the rigidity of the assembly is weakened by the cuts and by the tabs intended for opening, especially when such filled containers are stacked.
  • the crushing of the box after use is not sought by this configuration.
  • the present invention therefore proposes to remedy the problems identified with the existing packaging.
  • the invention relates primarily to a package of substantially parallelepipedal shape of a flexible material such as cardboard, capable of acting as a display, comprising a face which acts as a lid and a face with at least one cutout , said face which acts as a cover inserted into said cutout, to block the package, once the latter folded in planar configuration.
  • the package according to the invention further comprises a cut facilitating the opening of the lid. It may be for example a half-moon cut along an edge of the face acting as a lid when it is monobloc. Alternatively, the cutout can be positioned on the face at least partially flap office.
  • Grooving means the result of a compression applied to the material in order to mark it hollow and to facilitate the folding of the material at the compression points.
  • the face which acts as a cover and the face with the cutout which allows the locking of the flat packaging of the package are opposite sides of said package.
  • the packaging according to the invention further comprises an opening tab (42) delimited by two cutouts (40), facilitating the insertion of the lid into the cutout (38) for blocking the packaging in position flattened.
  • Another object of the invention relates to the use of a package according to the invention for conditioning Petri dishes.
  • a final subject of the invention relates to a model of flexible material such as cardboard with folding and gluing areas for shaping, able to form a package according to the invention.
  • the present invention relates to a package 10 of substantially parallelepipedal shape as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • This package is constituted from a model or blank 50, as represented on the figure 7 , of flexible material, such as cardboard.
  • the package 10 has a first face 12 constituting the front face on the figure 1 a second face 14 (visible on the figure 2 ) constituting the rear face on the figure 1 , third and fourth faces 16 and 18 (visible on the figure 2 ), constituting the lateral faces, as well as faces 20 and 22, respectively constituting the lower and upper faces on the figure 1 .
  • the package 10 comprises a lid.
  • the cover 24 of the package 10 is constituted by the face 12 and a portion 22a of the face 22 is integral with the face 12. This part acts as a flap and allows the locking of the packaging in a flattened position, as explained below .
  • This cover 24 is delimited at the face 12 by cutting lines positioned along the lateral edges.
  • two cutouts 26 in the face 22, as represented on the Figures 1 and 2 delimit after opening the lid, the portion 22a. These cuts also define two triangular zones 22b, as indicated on the Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the cutouts defining the cover 24 on the face 22 and the edges of the face 12 can be made in the form of discontinuous pre-cuts, with partial connections at regular or irregular intervals.
  • a half-moon cutout 28 can be arranged on the face 22, as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • This cutout 28 provides access to a tongue 30, which can be driven along F1 ( figure 1 ), which facilitates access to the cover 24 which is still integral with the rest of the package 10, but can thus be easily lifted according to F2 ( figure 1 ).
  • the face 20 is dissociated from the side faces 16 and 18 through pre-cuts (not shown) positioned on the edges delimiting the face 20 of the faces 16 and 18. It is then possible to exert pressure on the parts 22b of face 22, according to F3 as indicated on the figure 2 .
  • creases 32 made on the inside of said triangular portions 22b remaining after opening of the cover 24, facilitate pressure and folding along F3 (FIG. figure 2 ). The pressure on the parts 22b and more specifically at the creases 32 cause the folding of said parts 22b in two. This folding then makes it possible to fold down the lateral faces 16 and 18 in accordance with the arrow F4, as represented on FIG. figure 3 .
  • the faces 16 and 18 and the folded portions 22b are in contact with the face 14.
  • the face 20 and the cover 24 can then be folded over the assembly consisting of the faces 14, 16 and 18 and the parts 22b, as shown on the figure 4 .
  • Said folding is advantageously facilitated by six transverse creases 34 made on the inside of the face 12 of the package 10, as shown in FIG. figure 3 . They are in two groups of three creases 34 aligned transversely. Each group of creases 34 creates a preferential zone of folding, materializing by a transverse fold line 36.
  • These fold lines 36 materialized in broken lines on the figure 4 , provide a transverse folding of the face 12, according to F5 as shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 5 so that the latter is positioned astride the assembly consisting of the faces 14, 16 and 18 and the parts 22b.
  • the two lines fold 36 allow the face 12 once folded, to adapt perfectly to the size due to the assembly constituted by the faces 14, 16 and 18 and the parts 22b, folded.
  • the face 14 comprises a cutout 38.
  • This face further comprises two additional cutouts 40 positioned longitudinally, adjacent to the cutout 38. These cutouts release a tab 42, able to be depressed to facilitate access under the tongue 38.
  • part 22a secured to the face 12 and part of the cover 24, can then be slid under the cutout 38, then locking the package in a flattened position.
  • the package 10 has on the face 14 only the cutout 38, shown in FIG. figure 5 . After these simple operations of pressure and folding, the package 10 is folded and locked in the folded position.
  • This flat configuration represented on the figure 6 , has a limited thickness which facilitates its storage and minimizes the volume necessary for its disposal.
  • the cover consists of only one face, namely the face 12. It is this face 12 which is then slid under the cutout 38 At this end, the cutout 38 can be positioned in a zone of the face 14 more adapted to the smaller size of the cover 24, in particular on the upper part of the face 14.
