Description

La présente invention concerne un sachet de couverture d'au moins une partie d'un objet en sorte de protéger celle-ci, par exemple, contre les chocs, la poussière, l'humidité ....The present invention relates to a bag for covering at least a part of an object so as to protect it, for example, against shocks, dust, moisture ....

Un tel objet peut, par exemple, être un extincteur incendie, la partie à protéger étant dans ce cas la tête de l'extincteur. Cet objet peut également être, par exemple, un panneau de signalisation, une bouteille de gaz ou d'oxygène, une borne lumineuse, une plante, un arbuste ou tout autre végétal, voire tout autre objet.Such an object may, for example, be a fire extinguisher, the part to be protected being in this case the head of the fire extinguisher. This object may also be, for example, a sign, a gas or oxygen cylinder, a bollard, a plant, a shrub or any other plant, or any other object.

De manière habituelle, les objets ou parties d'objet sont protégés au moyen d'un sachet constitué d'une enveloppe à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposée la partie de l'objet à protéger. Le sachet est maintenu en position au moyen d'un lien ou d'un élastique qui est disposé autour de l'enveloppe et serré autour de la partie de l'objet à protéger.In the usual way, objects or parts of objects are protected by means of a bag made of an envelope inside which is disposed the part of the object to be protected. The bag is held in position by means of a tie or elastic which is arranged around the envelope and clamped around the part of the object to be protected.

Les conceptions actuelles nécessitent plusieurs manipulations pour la mise en place du sachet autour de la partie de l'objet. En effet, l'utilisateur doit dans un premier temps positionner la partie de l'objet à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe puis manipuler le lien ou l'élastique avec les deux mains afin de mettre en place celui-ci et d'assurer un étranglement ou le serrement du sachet autour de l'objet pour le maintenir en place. Le lien est mis en place et maintenu en position en effectuant plusieurs boucles autour du sachet et de l'objet et en effectuant un noeud, ce qui nécessite une manipulation avec les deux mains.The current designs require several manipulations for the establishment of the bag around the part of the object. Indeed, the user must first position the part of the object inside the envelope and then manipulate the link or the elastic with both hands in order to set up the latter and ensure throttling or squeezing the bag around the object to hold it in place. The link is set up and held in place by making several loops around the bag and the object and performing a knot, which requires manipulation with both hands.

De même, l'utilisation d'un élastique présente pour inconvénient de nécessiter plusieurs manipulations afin d'étirer celui-ci et de le mettre en place autour de l'objet en sorte que celui-ci se resserre et étrangle ledit objet et maintienne ainsi le sachet de couverture en position.Similarly, the use of an elastic has the disadvantage of requiring several manipulations to stretch it and put it in place around the object so that it tightens and strangles said object and thus maintains the cover bag in position.

Lors du retrait du sachet, afin de gagner du temps, l'utilisateur doit en outre de manière fréquente procéder à la découpe du lien ou de l'élastique au moyen d'un outil de coupe tel qu'un couteau.When removing the bag, in order to save time, the user must also frequently cut the link or the elastic by means of a cutting tool such as a knife.

Les sachets de couverture actuels présentent en outre pour inconvénient qu'il est nécessaire de s'assurer de disposer d'autant de liens ou d'élastiques que de sachets à mettre en place sur les objets. Lorsque ces liens sont constitués par des morceaux de fil provenant d'une bobine de fil, il est en outre nécessaire au préalable de prédécouper les liens avant leur mise en place autour du sachet de couverture.The present cover bags also have the disadvantage that it is necessary to ensure to have as many links or elastics as bags to put in place on the objects. When these links are constituted by pieces of wire from a spool of wire, it is also necessary beforehand to pre-cut the links before they are placed around the cover bag.

Le document WO-A-95 19259 décrit une enveloppe comportant une ouverture et comprenant une bande, munie d'une première et d'une seconde extrémités. Seulement une de ces extrémités est fixé de manière permanente sur l'enveloppe.The document WO-A-95 19259 discloses an envelope having an opening and comprising a band, provided with a first and a second ends. Only one of these ends is permanently attached to the envelope.

La présente invention a pour objet de pallier les inconvénients précités et propose pour cela un sachet de couverture d'au moins une partie d'un objet, comprenant une enveloppe munie d'une ouverture configurée pour permettre l'introduction de la partie de l'objet à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe.The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and proposes for this purpose a pouch for covering at least a part of an object, comprising an envelope provided with an opening configured to allow the introduction of the part of the object inside the envelope.

Selon l'invention, le sachet de couverture comprend une bande munie d'une première et d'une seconde extrémités qui sont fixées de manière permanente à proximité de l'ouverture, de préférence sur le côté externe de l'enveloppe. En outre, des moyens de détachement sont agencés sur la bande pour séparer ladite bande en une première et une seconde parties, tandis que les première et seconde extrémités restent fixées de manière permanente sur l'enveloppe. De même, un système de fixation adhésif est agencé sur l'une des deux parties de la bande. Ainsi, selon l'invention, lorsque la bande est détachée et séparée en une première et une seconde parties, il est possible d'entourer au moins l'une desdites première et seconde parties autour de l'enveloppe et de serrer celle-ci contre l'enveloppe et la partie de l'objet à protéger disposé à l'intérieur de ladite enveloppe, le système de fixation adhésif assurant le maintien en position de ladite au moins une partie de la bande enserrée autour de la partie de l'objet.According to the invention, the cover bag comprises a strip provided with first and second ends which are permanently fixed near the opening, preferably on the outer side of the envelope. In addition, detachment means are provided on the web for separating said web at first and second portions while the first and second ends remain permanently affixed to the web. Similarly, an adhesive fastening system is arranged on one of the two parts of the strip. Thus, according to the invention, when the strip is detached and separated into a first and a second part, it is possible to surround at least one of said first and second parts around the envelope and to tighten it against the envelope and the portion of the object to be protected disposed within said envelope, the adhesive fastening system ensuring the holding in position of said at least a portion of the band gripped around the portion of the object.

Selon l'invention, les moyens de détachement sont de préférence agencés au niveau de la seconde extrémité de la bande ce qui permet de disposer d'une première partie de bande correspondant sensiblement à la longueur de ladite bande tandis que la seconde partie de bande est très petite et n'est pas utilisée une fois le détachement réalisé. Cela permet de disposer d'une première partie de bande de longueur importante en sorte d'assurer convenablement son enroulement autour de l'enveloppe et de la partie de l'objet à enserrer. En outre, le système de fixation adhésif est agencé sur la première partie de bande au niveau d'une portion distale à la première extrémité de ladite bande. Ainsi, ladite première partie de bande est convenablement enroulée autour de l'enveloppe et de l'objet puis maintenue en position au moyen du système de fixation adhésif.According to the invention, the detachment means are preferably arranged at the second end of the strip, which makes it possible to have a first strip portion corresponding substantially to the length of said strip while the second strip portion is very small and is not used once detachment achieved. This makes it possible to have a first portion of the strip of long length so as to properly ensure its winding around the envelope and the part of the object to be clamped. In addition, the adhesive fastening system is arranged on the first band portion at a distal portion at the first end of said band. Thus, said first band portion is suitably wrapped around the envelope and the object and then held in position by means of the adhesive fastening system.

Bien entendu, on pourrait envisager de mettre en oeuvre les moyens de détachement à d'autres positions sur la bande, par exemple, en position centrale en sorte que la première partie et la seconde partie de bande soient quasiment de longueur identique, lesdites parties de bande étant dans ce cas de préférence enroulées toutes les deux autour de l'enveloppe et de l'objet, en sens inverse l'une par rapport à l'autre, puis maintenues serrées entre elles autour de ladite enveloppe et dudit objet au moyen du système de fixation adhésif.Of course, it could be envisaged to implement the detachment means at other positions on the strip, for example, in a central position so that the first part and the second part of the strip are almost of identical length, said parts of strip being in this case preferably wound both around the envelope and the object, in opposite directions relative to each other, then held tight together around said envelope and said object by means of the adhesive fixing system.

Selon l'invention, les moyens de détachement sont, de préférence, constitués d'une prédécoupe agencée sur la largeur de la bande.According to the invention, the detachment means are preferably constituted by a precut arranged on the width of the strip.

Selon l'invention, le système de fixation adhésif est constitué d'une couche adhésive revêtue d'un film de protection amovible. Ce film de protection permet de maintenir en parfait état la couche adhésive jusqu'à l'utilisation du sachet de couverture pour sa mise en place autour de la partie de l'objet à protéger.According to the invention, the adhesive fastening system consists of an adhesive layer coated with a removable protective film. This protective film makes it possible to keep the adhesive layer in perfect condition until the cover bag is used for placing it around the part of the object to be protected.

Selon l'invention, l'enveloppe est constituée de deux feuilles rectangulaires soudées entre elles au niveau de trois de leurs côtés en sorte de constituer un fond et deux côtés latéraux, les première et seconde extrémités de la bande étant fixées respectivement sur les côtés latéraux. Cela permet de maintenir l'enveloppe et la bande convenablement à plat l'une sur l'autre afin de faciliter le conditionnement du sachet dans des cartons et d'éviter d'accrocher et de détacher inopinément la bande.According to the invention, the envelope consists of two rectangular sheets welded together at three of their sides so as to constitute a bottom and two lateral sides, the first and second ends of the strip being fixed respectively on the lateral sides . This keeps the wrapper and the belt suitably flat on one another to facilitate packaging of the bag in cartons and to avoid unexpectedly hanging and detaching the band.

De manière préférentielle, la bande comprend une face interne et une face externe, le système de fixation adhésif étant agencé sur la face externe. On pourrait toutefois envisager une variante de conception selon laquelle le système de fixation adhésif serait agencé sur la face interne de la bande sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Preferably, the strip comprises an inner face and an outer face, the adhesive fastening system being arranged on the outer face. However, one could consider an alternative design in which the adhesive fastening system would be arranged on the inner face of the strip without departing from the scope of the invention.

Selon l'invention, le sachet comprend des moyens de rembourrage agencés sur l'enveloppe, par exemple à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Ces moyens de rembourrage peuvent être constitués d'une mousse de rembourrage, voire de film « bulles ».According to the invention, the bag comprises padding means arranged on the envelope, for example inside thereof. These padding means may consist of a padding foam, or even "bubble" film.

Bien entendu, le sachet de couverture de l'invention peut combiner des caractéristiques précitées.Of course, the cover bag of the invention can combine the aforementioned characteristics.

La description suivante illustre un mode de réalisation du sachet de couverture objet de l'invention s'appuyant sur des figures parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 illustre une vue en plan d'un mode de conception préférentiel du sachet de couverture objet de l'invention ; et
  • les figures 2 à 5 illustrent les différentes étapes de mise en place du sachet de couverture sur une partie d'un objet consistant sur lesdites figures en une bouteille de type bouteille d'oxygène ou détecteur d'incendie.
The following description illustrates an embodiment of the cover bag object of the invention based on figures among which:
  • the figure 1 illustrates a plan view of a preferred mode of design of the cover pouch object of the invention; and
  • the Figures 2 to 5 illustrate the different steps of placing the cover bag on a portion of an object consisting of said figures in a bottle of oxygen cylinder type or fire detector.

Sur la figure 1 , on constate que le sachet de couverture 1 comprend une enveloppe 2. Sur cette figure 1 , l'enveloppe est de forme rectangulaire et mise en oeuvre au moyen de deux feuilles de forme rectangulaire, par exemple, dans une matière de type polyéthylène basse densité (PEBD), ces feuilles étant thermo-soudées entre elles sur les côtés latéraux 2a, 2b et sur le fond 2c. Bien entendu, on pourrait envisager d'autres matières pour la mise en oeuvre de l'enveloppe ainsi que différentes formes plus ou moins adaptées à la partie de l'objet qu'elle est destinée à recevoir.On the figure 1 , it is found that the cover bag 1 comprises an envelope 2. On this figure 1 , the envelope is of rectangular shape and implemented by means of two sheets of rectangular shape, for example, in a low density polyethylene material (LDPE), these sheets being heat-welded together on the lateral sides 2a, 2b and on the bottom 2c. Of course, one could consider other materials for the implementation of the envelope and different forms more or less adapted to the part of the object that it is intended to receive.

Bien entendu, cette enveloppe présente une ouverture 21 au niveau de son quatrième côté 2d permettant d'introduire la partie de l'objet à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 2, comme on peut le constater sur les figures 2 à 5 . Of course, this envelope has an opening 21 at its fourth side 2d for introducing the part of the object inside the envelope 2, as can be seen on the Figures 2 to 5 .

Le sachet de couverture 1 comprend également une bande 3 qui présente une première extrémité 3a et une seconde extrémité 3b, ces deux extrémités 3a, 3b sont fixées de manière permanente au niveau des deux côtés latéraux 2a, 2b de l'enveloppe 2. Cette fixation est par exemple réalisée par un thermo-soudage.The cover bag 1 also comprises a band 3 which has a first end 3a and a second end 3b, these two ends 3a, 3b are permanently fixed at the two lateral sides 2a, 2b of the casing 2. is for example made by a heat-welding.

On constate sur la figure 1 que la bande 3 comprend une prédécoupe 4 qui, selon l'exemple préférentiel, est mise en oeuvre à proximité de la seconde extrémité 3b. Cette prédécoupe 4 permet de détacher la bande 3 en deux parties 31, 32. Selon l'exemple illustré aux figures 1 à 5 , la première partie 31 correspond sensiblement à la longueur de ladite bande 3 tandis que la seconde partie 32 est de longueur très réduite, tel qu'illustré en figure 3 . Cela revient quasiment à détacher la bande 3 par rapport au côté latéral 2b de l'enveloppe 2 tandis que la première extrémité 3a de la bande 3 reste attachée en permanence par rapport au premier côté latéral 2a de l'enveloppe 2. We see on the figure 1 that the band 3 comprises a precut 4 which, according to the preferred example, is implemented near the second end 3b. This pre-cut 4 makes it possible to detach the strip 3 in two parts 31, 32. According to the example illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 5 The first part 31 corresponds substantially to the length of said strip 3 while the second portion 32 is of much reduced length, as illustrated in figure 3 . This amounts almost to detach the band 3 from the lateral side 2b of the casing 2 while the first end 3a of the band 3 remains attached permanently relative to the first lateral side 2a of the casing 2.

La bande 3 comprend sur sa face externe 3c apparaissant sur la figure 1 , une couche adhésive 5 consistant par exemple en de la colle. Cette couche adhésive 5 est revêtue d'un film de protection 6. On constate sur la figure 1 que le film de protection 6 est de longueur identique à la bande 3 sur laquelle il est disposé et s'étend de la première extrémité 3a à la seconde extrémité 3b de ladite bande 3. On pourrait toutefois envisager que ce film de protection 6 soit de dimensions adaptées aux dimensions de la couche adhésive 5 en sorte de minimiser la quantité de matière utilisée pour ce film de protection 6. Ce film de protection 6 est amovible, ce qui permet son retrait lors de l'utilisation du sachet de couverture 1, en sorte de libérer la couche adhésive.The band 3 comprises on its outer face 3c appearing on the figure 1 , An adhesive layer 5 consisting, for example glue. This adhesive layer 5 is coated with a protective film 6. It can be seen on the figure 1 that the protective film 6 is of identical length to the strip 3 on which it is arranged and extends from the first end 3a to the second end 3b of said strip 3. It could however be envisaged that this protective film 6 is of dimensions adapted to the dimensions of the adhesive layer 5 so as to minimize the amount of material used for this protective film 6. This protective film 6 is removable, which allows its removal during use of the cover bag 1, in sort of release the adhesive layer.

La mise en place du sachet de couverture 1 autour d'une partie d'un objet à protéger est mise en oeuvre selon les étapes illustrées aux figures 2 à 5 . Ainsi, l'enveloppe 2 du sachet de couverture 1 est positionnée sur la partie 7a de l'objet 7 à protéger en pénétrant ladite partie 7a de l'objet 7 au travers de l'ouverture 21 demeurant sur le côté 2d de l'enveloppe 2. La bande 3 est ensuite détachée au niveau de la prédécoupe 4 disposée à proximité de l'extrémité 3b de ladite bande, laquelle est détachée au niveau du côté latéral 2b de l'enveloppe 2, tandis qu'elle reste attachée au niveau du côté latéral 2a de ladite enveloppe 2, tel que cela apparaît sur la figure 3 . The introduction of the cover bag 1 around a portion of an object to be protected is implemented according to the steps illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2 to 5 . Thus, the envelope 2 of the cover bag 1 is positioned on the portion 7a of the object 7 to be protected by penetrating said portion 7a of the object 7 through the opening 21 remaining on the side 2d of the envelope 2. The strip 3 is then detached at the precut 4 disposed near the end 3b of said strip, which is detached at the lateral side 2b of the envelope 2, while it remains attached at the level of the lateral side 2a of said envelope 2, as it appears on the figure 3 .

Le film de protection 6 est ensuite retiré de la bande 3, ce qui permet de libérer la couche adhésive 5 mise en oeuvre sur la face externe 3c de ladite bande, tel que cela apparaît sur la figure 4 . The protective film 6 is then removed from the band 3, which makes it possible to release the adhesive layer 5 implemented on the external face 3c of said band, as it appears on the figure 4 .

La bande 3 est ensuite entourée autour de l'enveloppe 2 et de la partie 7a de l'objet 7, ce qui permet d'enserrer l'enveloppe 2 autour de la partie 7a de l'objet, puis la couche adhésive 5 est collée sur ladite bande 3 voire sur l'enveloppe 2, ce qui permet de maintenir convenablement l'enveloppe 2 en position par rapport à la partie de l'objet à protéger.The band 3 is then surrounded around the casing 2 and the part 7a of the object 7, which makes it possible to grip the casing 2 around the part 7a of the object, then the adhesive layer 5 is glued on said band 3 or on the envelope 2, which allows to properly maintain the casing 2 in position relative to the portion of the object to be protected.

Bien entendu, le retrait du sachet de couverture s'effectue de manière très aisée en détachant la couche adhésive 5, ce qui permet de libérer la bande 3 et de desserrer celle-ci, puis d'extraire l'enveloppe 2 de la partie 7a de l'objet 7. Of course, the withdrawal of the cover bag is performed very easily by detaching the adhesive layer 5, which allows to release the band 3 and loosen it, and then extract the envelope 2 of the part 7a of the object 7.

D'autres variantes peuvent être envisagées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, telles que, par exemple, modifier la position de la prédécoupe 4 sur la bande 3 ainsi que la position de la couche adhésive 5 et du film de protection qui peuvent être mis en place sur la face interne de ladite bande 3. Other variants may be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention, such as, for example, changing the position of the precut 4 on the strip 3 as well as the position of the adhesive layer 5 and the protective film which may be placed on the inner face of said strip 3.

On peut également prévoir un rembourrage, de type mousse, à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 2, voire concevoir cette enveloppe au moyen de film bulle.It is also possible to provide padding, foam type, inside the casing 2, or even design this envelope by means of bubble film.
