Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispensing assembly combining a fluid dispenser and a package into which the dispenser is inserted. Such a distribution set may find a preferred application in the field of perfumery, or else cosmetics, as a sample distributed generally free of charge to buyers in specialized stores.
- the dispenser comprises a tank of very low capacity associated with a plug or a dispensing member such as a pump.
- the invention also relates to a packaging method for advantageously conditioning the dispensing assemblies of the present invention.
- document FR-2 862 614 which describes a dispensing assembly comprising a fluid dispenser of substantially cylindrical general shape associated with a package defining two separate flaps connected by a slice forming a loop through which is engaged the fluid dispenser.
- the loop is formed by two incisions at the wafer to define a strip which is shaped to form the loop for the fluid dispenser. Therefore, when the package is closed, the slice has an unsightly window whose user does not see the utility directly.
- the two flaps and the slice are articulated in the manner of a book cover so that the two flaps are arranged substantially parallel to the closed state.
- this document FR-2 862 614 describes a packaging process for packaging several distribution sets more or less compactly.
- the packaging method recommends inserting the dispensing units into each other in the manner of cups or pots. Specifically, a dispensing assembly is inserted between the two flaps of another dispensing assembly until the wafer contacts the dispenser of the other assembly.
- the other distribution sets are inserted in the same way, so that the distributors are arranged side by side with the same orientation and the flaps are superimposed, but offset, on either side of the row of distributors.
- this method of packaging has the disadvantage that several flaps or parts of flaps extend freely with no distributor between them, so that they are particularly fragile, especially when bending at their corners. Consequently, all the distribution sets thus conditioned are not exactly in the same condition, since the last nested packaging sets have their flaps which are more fragile. As a result, the latter distribution sets are often damaged and unusable.
- the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by defining a new type of set of distribution which is simple to manufacture and which allows a particularly advantageous packaging with which the risks of deterioration are particularly minimal. Another object of the present invention is to minimize the production costs of the distribution assembly, especially with regard to printing costs.
- the present invention provides a dispensing assembly, characterized in that it comprises a fluid dispenser of substantially cylindrical general shape, and a package defining a housing for the dispenser and a single side flap which extends from one side of the housing from a lower side edge of the housing, so that the housing projects entirely from one side of the plane defined by the flap.
- the assembly of the present invention comprises only one lateral flap defining a plane from which a housing containing the fluid dispenser is formed.
- the housing has a substantially square cross-section of side U, the flap having a height parallel to the lower side edge and a width perpendicular to the edge, the width corresponding substantially to a multiple of U.
- the housing comprises locking means for holding the dispenser in the housing and a window through which most of the dispenser is visible.
- the dispenser is widely visible inside the two flaps, but it is practically not visible when the shutters are closed on themselves.
- the package is formed from a single sheet folded on itself so that the flap is formed by the superposition of two strips of sheet and the housing is formed by a sheet loop. closed on itself.
- the housing can thus be in the form of a case in which the dispenser is perfectly maintained.
- the window of the case can be very large so that the case covers only the two opposite ends of the dispenser leaving most of it visible.
- Another advantage is that one can use a sheet having a low basis weight, since the rigidity of the side flap comes mainly from the superposition of the sheet strips (possibly reinforced by the presence of glue or welding), and not just the intrinsic rigidity of the sheet.
- the sheet is printed only on one of these faces. Indeed, it is not necessary to print its other face, since the sheet is folded on itself, and that this face is not visible.
- the invention also defines a method of packaging distribution assemblies as defined above, comprising forming a group of n distribution sets arranged so that the shutters are stacked and the housings aligned side by side and oriented in the same way. In this way, the dispensers are still visible through the large windows in their respective homes.
- n corresponds substantially to I / U.
- the U side of the housing can measure 1 cm
- the width of the flap can then be set at 4 cm
- the method comprises forming a row consisting of two identical groups arranged in a head-to-tail relationship so that the stacked flaps of one group extend above the aligned housings of the other group and vice versa, so that all dwellings are aligned side by side, but oriented differently from one group to another.
- n is equal to the multiple of U of the flap, and that this multiple is for example 4,
- the row comprises 2 groups of 4 distribution sets arranged head spades with the windows of the 4 homes of the first group oriented upwards and the windows of the 4 dwellings of the other group arranged down. With this arrangement, the flaps do not protrude laterally beyond the dwellings in a row.
- the width of the flaps corresponds to 4 times the U-side and there are 4 distribution sets per group, the free lateral edge of the most advanced distribution assembly does not protrude beyond the housing of the last distribution set.
- the width of the flaps is less than nxLJ.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a sheet from which the packaging of the dispensing assembly will be manufactured
- FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a distribution assembly according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a view from above of the distribution assembly of FIG. 2
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view through the distribution assembly of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 is a view of the right-hand side of the dispensing assembly of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view through a row of 2 groups of 4 dispensing sets packaged according to the packaging method of FIG. the present invention, and
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view through a block consisting of 8 rows each consisting of 2 groups of 4 distribution sets, a total of 64 distribution sets.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 describe in detail the structural features as well as the manufacture of a dispensing assembly according to one embodiment of the invention.
- a flat sheet 1 which will be used to make a package E according to the invention.
- the flat sheet 1 comprises several strips 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of different widths.
- the height of the bands is identical, since corresponding to the height of the sheet 1.
- the strips are connected together by fold lines 24, 45, 56, 36 which will form edges, substantially at right angles, when the package E will be in its final form.
- the fold line 24 connects the band 2 to the band 4, the line 45 connects the band 4 to the band 5, the line 56 connects the band 5 to the band 6, and the line 36 connects the band 3 to the band 6
- the band 5 is interrupted by a large window 7 where the lateral edges extend even on the adjacent strips 4 and 6.
- the band 5 is cut into two end portions situated on both sides.
- the strips 5 and 6 are provided with 2 pairs of parallel incisions which extend perpendicularly and straddle the fold line 56. Each pair of incisions will form a cleat of the Block 8, as will be seen hereinafter with reference to Figure 2.
- the width of the strips 4, 5 and 6 is substantially identical.
- the width of these bands is designated U, as unit. U can be roughly 1 cm.
- the strip 2 here has a width of 4 U and the strip 3 has a width of 5 U.
- the strip 2 may have a width of 5 U and the strip 3 a width of 6 U. It is also conceivable that the width of these stripes is not an integer multiple of U, although this is not particularly advantageous. It is possible to have a width of the band 2 of 3.5 or 4.5 U and a width of the band 3 of 4.5 or 5.5 U, respectively. It is important that the width of the strip 2 is less than that of the strip 3 of U.
- the sheet 1 is printed on only one of these faces, the other side remaining unprinted.
- the printed face is the underside not visible.
- the printing of the packaging is not expensive, unlike that of the distribution assembly of document FR-2 862 614.
- the end-mounted dispensing assembly is shown, i.e., with the sheet 1 suitably folded to form the package E. More precisely, the sheet 1 has been folded at each of its fold lines 24, 45, 56 and 36 so as to fold the sheet 1 on itself by bringing the strip 2 in superposition of the strip 3.
- the band 3 is located below and that the band 2 is located above the band 3.
- the free lateral edges of the strips 2 and 3 are strictly aligned to give a suitable finish appearance.
- the two strips 2 and 3 are connected together, for example by gluing, heat sealing, etc.
- the strips 4, 5 and 6 they now form a housing L of substantially square section of side U.
- the housing L can be considered as forming a loop of closed leaf on itself defining internally a case substantially cylinder in which the fluid dispenser is arranged in a particularly stable manner, since maintained throughout its length.
- the strip 6 is perpendicular and vertical
- the strip 5 is parallel, but offset by a distance U
- the strip 4 is not visible, but perpendicular.
- the housing L protrudes upwards from the plane formed by the flap V.
- the flap V is connected to the housing L by a lower lateral edge of the housing which is nothing other than the 24.
- the housing L projects only one side of the flap V.
- the flap (V) has a height H which is that of the sheet 1 and a width I which corresponds to a multiple of U, namely 4U. Another multiple can be chosen without departing from the scope of the invention. We can even consider that the width I does not correspond exactly to a multiple of U, although this is not advantageous.
- a fluid dispenser D is disposed within the housing L which forms a kind of case having a large window 7 through which most of the dispenser D is visible. Only the two opposite ends of the distributor D are covered by the two segments of the strip 5.
- the fluid dispenser D is generally of substantially cylindrical shape, advantageously circular, and comprises a reservoir R of fluid product of small capacity associated with a plug or to a dispensing member, such as a pump P fixed on the tank R with a fixing F.
- the pump P comprises a spray orifice O. It can be seen in particular in Figure 3 that the dispenser D is almost entirely visible through the window 7.
- we use the two small tabs 38 which extend into the housing L at both ends of the distributor D.
- FIG. 6 there is shown a distribution set array which comprises eight distribution sets, which can be divided in two groups of four distribution sets.
- the distribution assemblies used are substantially identical to that shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the flap V of each distributor has a width I which is four times greater than the U-side of the housing L.
- Each group thus comprises four sets of distribution arranged so that their flaps V are superimposed with a shift and that their housing L are arranged side by side and oriented in the same direction.
- the distribution assemblies of the left group have their flaps V which extend above the housings L.
- the locking lugs 8 are all oriented with the same direction.
- the flaps V extend below and the housings are oriented differently, as evidenced by the arrangement of the locking tabs 8.
- the four distribution sets of the left group present the same orientation, and the four distribution sets of the right group also have the same distribution, which is, however, reversed compared to that of the left group.
- the two groups are arranged head to tail.
- the housing is oriented differently from one group to another, all the housing in the row are perfectly aligned, only the reversed orientation of the cleats 8 to note that they do not have the same layout.
- the flap V are distributed in a strictly equal manner on each side of the row of housing L, with four flaps V on each side.
- An interesting feature is that the shutter of the dispenser assembly that is in contact with the other group does not extend beyond the housing of the last dispensing assembly. In other words, the flaps do not protrude beyond the dwellings in a row. More specifically, the free lateral edge of the end flaps is aligned with the outer side of the end housings. This is clearly visible in Figure 6. This characteristic comes directly from the fact that the width of the flaps corresponds to a multiple on the side of the square dwellings, and that the number of distribution sets in each group is equal to the same. multiple. In this case, this multiple is 4.
- the width of a flap corresponds to four times the side of the housing so that it extends over four housings and stops in alignment with the outer edge of the last housing. This provides a perfectly compact packaging so the four corners are defined only by the housing, not by the projecting edges of the flaps, as is the case in the aforementioned document of the prior art.
- the shutter is particularly advantageous to size the shutter with a width I corresponding to a multiple of the U side of the housing L
- a width I which is not a multiple of U.
- I is less than nxLJ, in order to prevent the free lateral edges of the flaps from protruding beyond the housings L in a row, as shown in FIG. 6, or in a block, as shown in Figure 7.
