Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des emballages en matériau semi-rigide, par exemple en carton plein ou ondulé, destinés à loger des contenants, tels que de type bouteilles.The invention relates to the field of packaging made of semi-rigid material, for example solid or corrugated cardboard, intended to house containers, such as bottles.

Parmi de tels emballages, une caisse de type « caisse américaine » est un emballage fermé par des rabats et adapté pour protéger les marchandises lourdes et/ou fragiles. Ces emballages sont adaptés à l'expédition, l'envoi postal et le transport de marchandises.Among such packages, a box "American box" is a package closed by flaps and adapted to protect heavy goods and / or fragile. These packages are suitable for shipping, mailing and transporting goods.

Cependant, et de façon plus générale, les dimensions des emballages doivent être prévues pour s'adapter à la nature, la forme et le nombre d'objets reçus. Ainsi, on peut réaliser des emballages destinés à contenir de 3 à 12 bouteilles de type classique en verre ou en matière plastique, tels que jus de fruits, alcool et spiritueux.However, and more generally, the dimensions of the packages must be provided to adapt to the nature, shape and number of objects received. Thus, it is possible to produce packaging intended to contain from 3 to 12 conventional glass or plastic bottles, such as fruit juices, alcohol and spirits.

Etant donné que les emballages carton sont diversifiés en termes de forme et de dimensions selon les besoins, les lignes de fabrication de ces emballages à l'échelle industrielle doivent pouvoir être prévues et agencées en conséquence, pour assurer une optimisation d'exploitation et de coûts de production.Since carton packs are diversified in shape and size as needed, the manufacturing lines of these packagings on an industrial scale must be able to be planned and arranged accordingly, to ensure optimization of operation and costs. of production.

Une des difficultés apparaît notamment en cas de fabrication d'emballages sur des lignes de fabrication surdimensionnées par rapport aux dimensions finales fonctionnelles des emballages. Par exemple, la fabrication d'un emballage dit caisse américaine destiné à contenir six bouteilles peut être problématique lorsque la ligne de fabrication est prévue pour la fabrication d'un emballage d'une dimension plus grande, par exemple conçu pour contenir douze bouteilles. Cela peut nécessiter de mettre à disposition plusieurs lignes de fabrication ou des arrêts de production pour les adapter aux dimensions d'emballages voulus, ce qui peut conduire à des baisses de rendements de production et à des accroissements de coûts d'investissement.One of the difficulties arises especially in the case of manufacture of packaging on oversized production lines in relation to the final functional dimensions of the packaging. For example, the manufacture of an American box packaging intended to contain six bottles can be problematic when the production line is intended for the manufacture of a larger size package, for example designed to contain twelve bottles. This may require several production lines or production outlets to be made available in order to adapt them to the desired packaging dimensions, which can lead to decreases in production yields and increases in investment costs.

Par ailleurs, on connaît des emballages à deux compartiments solidarisés entre eux par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne prédécoupée. Ces emballages sont divisibles en deux emballages indépendants, de plus petite taille, par désolidarisation le long de la ligne de prédécoupe. Ces emballages peuvent également comporter des rabats de solidarisation additionnels afin de leur conférer une rigidité supplémentaire, les rabats comportant des lignes prédécoupées et étant également prévus pour être désolidarisés. On peut citer les documents FR 2 963 609 , US 6,006,982 , US 5,048,690 , US 4,913,291 , FR 2 898 873 , FR 2 832 978 .Furthermore, there are known packages with two compartments secured to each other by means of a pre-cut line. These packages are divisible into two smaller independent packages, by separating along the precut line. These packages may also include additional fastening flaps to give them additional rigidity, the flaps having pre-cut lines and also being provided to be detached. We can mention the documents FR 2 963 609 , US 6,006,982 , US 5,048,690 , US 4,913,291 , FR 2 898 873 , FR 2,832,978 .

Cependant, de tels emballages sont fabriqués à partir de flans comportant de part et d'autre de la prédécoupe un premier ensemble de parois et de rabats et un deuxième ensemble de parois et rabats en nombres identiques ou pas à ceux de ce premier ensemble. Selon des configurations désirées, cette ligne de prédécoupe peut être un plan de symétrie pour les premier et deuxième ensembles de parois et des rabats. Après assemblage et mise en volume, on réalise un emballage double qui peut être aisément divisé en deux emballages individuels.However, such packages are made from blanks having on both sides of the precut a first set of walls and flaps and a second set of walls and flaps in numbers identical or not to those of the first set. According to desired configurations, this precut line may be a plane of symmetry for the first and second sets of walls and flaps. After assembly and volume development, a double package is made which can be easily divided into two individual packages.

Dans cette situation, le flan présente en quelque sorte une conformation de large bande constituée notamment par une succession de parois et de rabats articulés entre eux, de part et d'autres d'une ligne de prédécoupe.In this situation, the blank has a sort of broadband conformation consisting in particular of a succession of walls and flaps hinged together, on both sides of a precut line.

Il existe un besoin pour une fabrication moins contraignante.There is a need for less restrictive manufacturing.

Il est proposé un dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage en matériau rigide ou semi-rigide pour la réalisation d'une pluralité de dispositifs d'emballages finaux, ce dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage étant obtenu par assemblage d'au moins deux éléments d'emballage, chaque élément d'emballage comportant des parois d'origine et des rabats d'origine articulés à au moins certaines des parois d'origine, ledit dispositif intermédiaire comportant des parois externes, et au moins trois rabats intermédiaires articulés à des parois externes respectives, chaque rabat intermédiaire ayant été obtenu par assemblage de deux rabats d'origine de deux éléments d'emballage respectifs. Ce dispositif intermédiaire est apte à être convoyé sur une ligne de conditionnement pour la mise en volume dudit dispositif intermédiaire, et de préférence pour son remplissage, en vue d'une dissociation, après mise en volume, de chacun des au moins trois rabats intermédiaires en au moins deux rabats finaux respectifs, afin d'obtenir la pluralité de dispositifs d'emballage finaux.There is provided an intermediate packaging device of rigid or semi-rigid material for producing a plurality of final packaging devices, this intermediate packaging device being obtained by assembling at least two packaging elements, each packaging element having original walls and original flaps hinged to at least some of the original walls, said intermediate device having outer walls, and at least three intermediate flaps hinged to respective outer walls, each intermediate flap having been obtained by assembling two original flaps of two respective packaging elements. This intermediate device is adapted to be conveyed on a packaging line for the volume of said intermediate device, and preferably for its filling, for dissociation, after setting volume, of each of the at least three intermediate flaps. at least two respective end flaps to obtain the plurality of final packaging devices.

Ainsi, les deux éléments d'emballage sont assemblés par le biais des rabats d'origine pour former des rabats intermédiaires, ce qui autorise une dissociation ultérieure de ce dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage au niveau des rabats intermédiaires.Thus, the two packaging elements are assembled through the original flaps to form intermediate flaps, which allows a subsequent dissociation of this intermediate packaging device at the intermediate flaps.

Le dispositif intermédiaire comporte ainsi au moins trois, par exemple quatre, points de liaisons entre les deux éléments d'emballage d'origine, ce qui peut permettre d'assurer une stabilité du dispositif intermédiaire (notamment le long de la ligne de conditionnement) et donc permettre d'éviter de prévoir une ligne de prédécoupe entre les flans de ces deux éléments d'emballage.The intermediate device thus comprises at least three, for example four, points of connection between the two original packaging elements, which can make it possible to ensure stability of the intermediate device (in particular along the packaging line) and so to avoid to provide a pre-cut line between the blanks of these two packaging elements.

L'absence d'une ligne de prédécoupe préexistante dès la conception du dispositif d'emballage, c'est-à-dire dès la fabrication du flan, qui, après assemblage et mise en volume formera ledit dispositif d'emballage, évite un agencement initial du flan imposé de par la présence de cette ligne de prédécoupe. On peut ainsi réaliser des flans avec une plus grande liberté de conception que dans l'art antérieur. En particulier, on peut s'affranchir de la forme générale de bande du flan, et prévoir par exemple deux flans distincts, ou bien un seul flan intégrant les deux éléments d'emballage avec une liaison entre ces deux éléments qui sera détruite avant le passage sur la ligne de conditionnement.The absence of a pre-existing pre-cut line from the design of the packaging device, that is to say from the manufacture of the blank, which, after assembly and setting volume will form said packaging device, avoids an arrangement initial blank imposed by the presence of this precut line. It is thus possible to produce blanks with a greater freedom of design than in the prior art. In particular, it is possible to dispense with the general shape of the strip of the blank, and to provide for example two distinct blanks, or a single blank integrating the two packaging elements with a connection between these two elements which will be destroyed before the transition on the packaging line.

L'invention peut ainsi permettre d'éviter les soucis de manipulation d'un flan à forme générale de bande.The invention can thus make it possible to avoid the handling problems of a generally band-shaped blank.

En outre, l'invention peut permettre d'utiliser des machines courantes, notamment des presses, pour l'obtention d'emballages finaux de dimensions relativement élevées. Dans l'art antérieur, la longueur du flan à forme générale de bande peut être limitée par les dimensions de la presse utilisée.In addition, the invention can make it possible to use standard machines, especially presses, to obtain relatively large final packages. In the prior art, the length of the generally band-shaped blank can be limited by the dimensions of the press used.

Un tel agencement offre également l'avantage d'un convoyage ultérieur du dispositif intermédiaire sur des lignes de conditionnement surdimensionnées par rapport aux dimensions des éléments d'emballage individuels ou des dispositifs d'emballage finaux. Les lignes de fabrication sont ainsi avantageusement prévues et adaptées à la mise en volume du dispositif intermédiaire, avec une étape ultérieure éventuelle de remplissage et de fermeture. Ceci évite d'avoir recours à différentes lignes de production dont chacune n'est habituellement prévue que pour la fabrication ou le conditionnement d'emballages en matière semi-rigide présentant des structures et dimensions adaptées à la ligne considérée.Such an arrangement also offers the advantage of subsequent conveying of the intermediate device onto over-sized packaging lines with respect to the dimensions of the individual packaging elements or final packaging devices. The production lines are thus advantageously provided and adapted to the setting volume of the intermediate device, with a subsequent possible step of filling and closing. This avoids having recourse to different production lines, each of which is usually only provided for the manufacture or packaging of semi-rigid material packaging having structures and dimensions adapted to the line in question.

Le dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage présente les avantages d'une optimisation des coûts de mise en oeuvre et de flexibilité à l'échelle industrielle, puisqu'il peut être prévu une même ligne de production permettant, après d'éventuelles légères adaptations, le conditionnement d'un dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage résultant d'un assemblage d'éléments d'emballage de diverses formes et dimensions grâce aux rabats intermédiaires. En outre, le dispositif intermédiaire est conformé de façon à fournir plusieurs dispositifs d'emballage finaux, par simple désolidarisation des dispositifs finaux du dispositif d'emballage intermédiaire aux niveaux des rabats intermédiairesThe intermediate packaging device has the advantages of an optimization of implementation costs and flexibility on an industrial scale, since it can be provided a same production line allowing, after any slight adjustments, packaging an intermediate packaging device resulting from an assembly of packaging elements of various shapes and sizes thanks to the intermediate flaps. In addition, the intermediate device is shaped so as to provide several final packaging devices, by simply separating the final devices of the intermediate packaging device at the levels of the intermediate flaps.

Avantageusement, le matériau rigide ou semi-rigide peut être le carton rigide ou le carton ondulé. Le carton ondulé, de mise en oeuvre classique, est de préférence utilisé car il présente habituellement, d'une part, des épaisseurs relativement importantes ce qui améliore la protection du contenu, et, d'autre part, des aptitudes au pliage accrues par rapport au carton rigide.Advantageously, the rigid or semi-rigid material may be rigid cardboard or corrugated cardboard. The corrugated cardboard, of conventional use, is preferably used because it usually has, on the one hand, relatively large thicknesses which improves the protection of the contents, and, on the other hand, increased bending capabilities compared rigid cardboard.

Selon des modes de réalisation, l'invention n'est pas limitée par la forme et les dimensions du dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage. Ce peut être un emballage cartonné apte à fournir des dispositifs d'emballage finaux ou individuels, par exemple de type « caisses américaines».According to embodiments, the invention is not limited by the shape and dimensions of the intermediate packaging device. This can be a cardboard packaging capable of providing final or individual packaging devices, for example of the "American boxes" type.

Chaque élément d'emballage peut comporter une pluralité de parois d'origine articulées entre elles de préférence par des lignes de pliage.Each packaging element may comprise a plurality of original walls hinged together preferably by fold lines.

La pluralité des parois d'origine se compose de préférence de parois dites principales et de parois dites latérales. Dans ce cadre, les parois principales et latérales présentent une hauteur identique et une largeur différente. Habituellement, les parois principales ont une largeur plus grande que celle des parois latérales.The plurality of the original walls is preferably composed of so-called main walls and so-called side walls. In this context, the main and side walls have an identical height and a different width. Usually, the main walls have a wider width than the side walls.

Selon des formes préférées de réalisation, chaque élément d'emballage comporte quatre parois d'origine, une partie de fond, laquelle est définie comme susceptible d'être en contact avec le sol, et une partie dite supérieure, opposée à la paroi de fond, respectivement de forme rectangulaire, solidarisées entre elles, de préférence, par des lignes de pliage. Chaque élément d'emballage peut également comporter une partie de fond non rectangulaire mais carrée, voire hexagonale ou autre, le nombre de parois pouvant être supérieur à quatre, en fonction de la forme finale du dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage.According to preferred embodiments, each packaging element comprises four original walls, a bottom part, which is defined as likely to be in contact with the ground, and a so-called upper part, opposite to the bottom wall. , respectively of rectangular shape, secured together, preferably by fold lines. Each packaging element may also comprise a non-rectangular but square bottom portion, or hexagonal or other, the number of walls may be greater than four, depending on the final shape of the intermediate packaging device.

Une des parois parmi la pluralité des parois peut comporter en outre une patte de jonction permettant d'obtenir, après montage, un dispositif d'emballage final de forme carrée ou parallélépipédique, tel que cube et rhomboèdre, c'est-à-dire où chaque paroi est de dimension sensiblement identique (hauteur et largeur) ou bien différente.One of the walls of the plurality of walls may further comprise a connecting tab for obtaining, after assembly, a final packaging device of square or parallelepiped shape, such as cube and rhombohedron, that is to say where each wall is of substantially identical size (height and width) or different.

La jonction peut être effectuée au niveau de l'arête entre deux parois, ou bien sur une face formée de deux parois, par exemple en milieu de face.The junction can be performed at the edge between two walls, or on a face formed by two walls, for example in the middle of the face.

Les deux éléments d'emballage peuvent être de configuration identique ou différente, c'est-à-dire présenter des formes et/ou dimensions identiques entre elles ou différentes.The two packaging elements may be identical or different configuration, that is to say present shapes and / or dimensions identical to each other or different.

La partie de fond et/ou la partie supérieure peu(ven)t comporter des rabats de fermeture inférieure de préférence au nombre de quatre, chacune étant articulée à des parois respectives dudit dispositif intermédiaire.The bottom portion and / or the upper portion may have preferably smaller bottom closure flaps, each of which is hinged to respective walls of said intermediate device.

Avantageusement, une des parois d'au moins un (et de préférence de chaque) élément d'emballage peut être dépourvue d'un rabat de fermeture inférieure et de rabat de fermeture supérieure, cette paroi étant avantageusement une paroi principale. Ceci permet un remplissage efficace et aisé du dispositif d'emballage final par divers contenus, tels que des bouteilles. Avantageusement et de façon non limitative, au moins un desdits au moins trois rabats intermédiaires (et de préférence chacun de ces rabats intermédiaires) est obtenu par assemblage :

  • d'un rabat d'origine d'un premier type, dit premier rabat, comprenant une partie de fermeture d'emballage et une partie de solidarisation, destinée à être dissociée de la partie de fermeture, lesdites parties étant solidarisées entre elles ou étant d'un seul tenant, et
  • d'un rabat d'origine d'un deuxième type, dit deuxième rabat, comprenant une partie de fermeture d'emballage.
Advantageously, one of the walls of at least one (and preferably each) packaging element may be devoid of a lower closure flap and upper closure flap, this wall advantageously being a main wall. This allows an efficient and easy filling of the final packaging device with various contents, such as bottles. Advantageously and in a nonlimiting manner, at least one of said at least three intermediate flaps (and preferably each of these intermediate flaps) is obtained by assembly:
  • an original flap of a first type, said first flap, comprising a packaging closure part and a securing part, intended to be dissociated from the closure part, said parts being secured to each other or being one piece, and
  • an original flap of a second type, said second flap, comprising a packaging closure part.

La partie de fermeture du deuxième rabat est assemblée à la partie de solidarisation du premier rabat. Cet assemblage est effectué de préférence par collage ou par des agrafes.The closing portion of the second flap is assembled to the securing portion of the first flap. This assembly is preferably performed by gluing or staples.

La partie de solidarisation peut par exemple être conçue comme une partie d'extension qui s'étend au-delà de la partie de fermeture, en particulier lorsque cette partie d'extension n'est pas solidarisée sur un côté de paroi.The securing part may for example be designed as an extension part which extends beyond the closing part, in particular when this extension part is not secured to one side of the wall.

Selon des formes de réalisation, lorsqu'une paroi ne comporte pas de rabats, la partie de solidarisation d'un rabat solidarisé à une paroi adjacente peut être obtenue avec des tailles et des dimensions variées grâce à l'espace laissé libre sur le flan du fait de cette absence de rabat. Autrement dit, l'absence de rabats sur l'une des parois principales permet plus de liberté de conception de la partie de solidarisation.According to embodiments, when a wall does not comprise flaps, the securing portion of a flap secured to an adjacent wall can be obtained with various sizes and dimensions thanks to the space left free on the blank of the blank. made of this absence of flap. In other words, the absence of flaps on one of the main walls allows more freedom of design of the securing part.

De préférence, la partie de fermeture et la partie de solidarisation de l'au moins un premier rabat d'origine de chaque élément d'emballage sont séparées par une prédécoupe. Ceci autorise une désolidarisation aisée du dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage en les dispositifs d'emballage finaux, individuels.Preferably, the closure portion and the securing portion of the at least one first flap of origin of each packaging element are separated by a precut. This allows easy separation of the intermediate packaging device in the final packaging devices, individual.

En variante, lesdites deux parties peuvent être reliées entre elles de façon rigide et la séparation étant alors effectuée par découpe utilisant des moyens adaptés, tels que ciseaux, couteaux et autres, par exemple.Alternatively, said two parts can be rigidly interconnected and the separation then being performed by cutting using suitable means, such as scissors, knives and others, for example.

Avantageusement, deux premiers rabats sont disposés de part et d'autres des parties de fond et supérieure, ce qui facilite l'assemblage par la formation de deux zones d'assemblage.Advantageously, two first flaps are arranged on either side of the bottom and top parts, which facilitates the assembly by the formation of two assembly areas.

Les parois externes du dispositif intermédiaire peuvent être les parois d'origine disposées à la périphérie du dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage.The outer walls of the intermediate device may be the original walls disposed at the periphery of the intermediate packaging device.

La présence de quatre rabats intermédiaires assure une plus grande rigidité et solidité du dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage à la manipulation.The presence of four intermediate flaps ensures greater rigidity and strength of the intermediate packaging device handling.

La dissociation du dispositif intermédiaire en deux emballages finaux peut avantageusement être effectuée grâce aux prédécoupes des rabats intermédiaires, en particulier par simple arrachage par un utilisateur.The dissociation of the intermediate device into two final packages can advantageously be carried out thanks to the pre-cuts of the intermediate flaps, in particular by simple pulling by a user.

Le dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage est avantageusement agencé de sorte qu'au moins une des parois parmi la pluralité des parois de l'un des éléments d'emballage et qu'au moins une paroi de l'autre des éléments d'emballage sont fixées face contre face. Ces parois sont dites internes.The intermediate packaging device is advantageously arranged so that at least one of the plurality of walls of one of the packaging elements and at least one wall of the other of the packaging elements are fixed. face to face. These walls are called internal.

Selon cet agencement, les deux éléments d'emballage sont intégrés dans un même flan ou feuille en matériau semi-rigide, ce qui permet de prévoir une seule ligne d'approvisionnement. Ceci confère les avantages de souplesse de gestion des stocks et du personnel attaché à la supervision de cette étape. En outre, le positionnement du flan sur une ligne de conditionnement est facilité.According to this arrangement, the two packaging elements are integrated in the same blank or sheet of semi-rigid material, which allows to provide a single supply line. This confers the benefits of flexible inventory management and the staff attached to the supervision of this step. In addition, the positioning of the blank on a packaging line is facilitated.

En variante, chaque élément d'emballage peut être solidaire de l'autre selon un plan longitudinal par un moyen de solidarisation, par exemple une bande de raccord collée de part de d'autres respectivement à chaque élément, et apte à être pliée longitudinalement. De préférence, la bande de raccord peut être un ruban adhésif ou une bande en carton.Alternatively, each packaging element may be secured to the other in a longitudinal plane by a securing means, for example a connecting tape bonded from each other respectively to each element, and adapted to be folded longitudinally. Preferably, the joining tape may be an adhesive tape or a cardboard tape.

Les deux éléments d'emballage peuvent être avantageusement solidaires l'un de l'autre selon un plan longitudinal de façon antisymétrique par les premiers rabats d'origine. Outre la solidarisation de l'une des parties de fermeture par une ligne de pliage, de préférence à l'un des côtés libres des parois latérales, lesdits premiers rabats d'origine ou seulement leur partie de fermeture de l'un des éléments d'emballage sont solidarisés par leur côtés libres à l'une des parties de fond et/ou l'une des parties supérieure d'une paroi principale d'un autre élément d'emballage, par la ligne de pliage. Selon cet agencement, la zone du milieu de cette ligne de pliage constitue un point de symétrie centrale.The two packaging elements can be advantageously secured to one another in a longitudinal plane antisymmetrically by the first original flaps. In addition to the fastening of one of the closure parts by a fold line, preferably to one of the free sides of the side walls, said first original flaps or only their closing part of one of the elements of packaging are secured by their free sides to one of the bottom parts and / or one of the upper parts of a main wall of another packaging element, by the fold line.

En outre, chaque paroi latérale 12, 32 des éléments d'emballages 2, 3 comporte, aux côtés libres opposés à ceux pourvus des premiers rabats d'origine 83, 93, 84, 94, des rabats de fermeture inférieure respectivement 73, 103 qui sont des parties de fermeture des premiers rabats d'origine, et des parties de solidarisation 74, 104 solidarisées aux parties de fermeture 73, 103 par des premières prédécoupes 75, 105. Egalement ici, chaque partie de solidarisation 74, 104 n'est pas solidarisée aux parois principales autres 22, 42.In addition, each side wall 12, 32 of the packaging elements 2, 3 comprises, with free sides opposite to those provided with the first original flaps 83, 93, 84, 94, lower closure flaps respectively 73, 103 which are closing portions of the first original flaps, and securing portions 74, 104 secured to the closing portions 73, 103 by first precuts 75, 105. Also here, each securing portion 74, 104 is not secured to the main walls other 22, 42.

Comme mentionné plus haut, chaque paroi latérale 11, 31 des éléments d'emballages 2, 3 comporte aux côtés libres, non solidarisés respectivement aux parois principales 21, 41, des rabats de fermeture supérieure 81, 91 et des rabats de fermeture inférieure 71, 101 qui sont les parties de fermeture formant les seconds rabats d'origine.As mentioned above, each side wall 11, 31 of the packaging elements 2, 3 comprises at the free sides, not secured respectively to the main walls 21, 41, the upper closure flaps 81, 91 and the lower closure flaps 71, 101 which are the closing parts forming the second original flaps.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, les deux éléments d'emballage 2, 3 sont solidaires l'un de l'autre par une ligne de pliage 110. Cette ligne de pliage 110 relie un côté de chaque partie de fermeture 83, 93 du premier rabat d'origine, opposé à celui solidarisé aux parois respectives 12, 32, respectivement à un côté libre du rabat de fermeture supérieure 92, 82.According to this embodiment, the two packaging elements 2, 3 are secured to one another by a fold line 110. This fold line 110 connects one side of each closure portion 83, 93 of the first flap of origin, opposite to that secured to the respective walls 12, 32, respectively to a free side of the upper closure flap 92, 82.

Ici, on voit que les deux éléments d'emballage 2, 3 sont symétriques par rapport à un point de symétrie situé au milieu de la longueur de la ligne 110.Here, we see that the two packaging elements 2, 3 are symmetrical with respect to a point of symmetry located in the middle of the length of the line 110.

Le montage du dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage débute par pliage des quatre parois respectives 11, 21, 12, 22 et 31, 41, 32, 42 grâce aux lignes de pliages, de sorte que les parois 11, 22 et 31, 42 sont jointes, par collage, par les pattes de jonction 51, 61.The assembly of the intermediate packaging device begins by folding the four respective walls 11, 21, 12, 22 and 31, 41, 32, 42 through the fold lines, so that the walls 11, 22 and 31, 42 are joined. , by gluing, by the joining tabs 51, 61.

Les deux éléments d'emballage 2, 3 sont ensuite mis face contre face par pliage le long de la ligne de pliage 110 de sorte que les surfaces des parois 22, 42 reposent l'une contre l'autre. Par ce mouvement, les parties de solidarisation 74, 84, 94, 104 des premiers rabats d'origine coopèrent respectivement avec les parties de fermeture 101, 91, 81, 71 des seconds rabats d'origine et sont solidarisés par un point de colle. On forme ainsi quatre rabats intermédiaires 73, 74, 101 ; 83, 84, 91 ; 93, 94, 81 et 103, 104, 71.The two packaging elements 2, 3 are then folded face-to-face along the fold line 110 so that the surfaces of the walls 22, 42 rest against one another. By this movement, the securing portions 74, 84, 94, 104 of the first original flaps respectively cooperate with the closure portions 101, 91, 81, 71 of the second flaps of origin and are secured by a point of glue. Four intermediate flaps 73, 74, 101 are thus formed; 83, 84, 91; 93, 94, 81 and 103, 104, 71.

On désolidarise ensuite les deux éléments d'emballage 2, 3 par découpe au niveau de la ligne de pliage 110.The two packaging elements 2, 3 are then separated by cutting at the fold line 110.

La Figure 2 montre un dispositif intermédiaire d'emballage 120 obtenu après montage du flan 1 ayant deux éléments d'emballage 2, 3 sur une ligne de conditionnement (non représentée).The Figure 2 shows an intermediate packaging device 120 obtained after mounting the blank 1 having two packaging elements 2, 3 on a packaging line (not shown).

Les deux parois principales 22, 42 sont mises face contre face et les parties de solidarisation 84, 94 des premiers rabats d'origine fixées aux parties de fermeture 83, 93 lesquelles sont respectivement solidarisées aux parois principales externes 11, 32, coopèrent avec les parties de fermeture 91, 81 des seconds rabats d'origine articulés sur les parois externes respectivement 31, 12, et sont solidarisées par les premières prédécoupes respectivement 85, 95. Il en est de même des parties de solidarisation 104, 74 (non représentées) des premiers rabats d'origine qui coopèrent avec les parties de fermeture 71, 101 des seconds rabats d'origine (non représentés), solidarisées aux parois latérales externes 11, 31 respectivement, et sont solidarisées par les premières prédécoupes respectivement 105, 75 (non représentés).The two main walls 22, 42 are placed face-to-face and the securing portions 84, 94 of the first original flaps fixed to the closing parts 83, 93 which are respectively secured to the outer main walls 11, 32, cooperate with the parts closure 91, 81 of the second original flaps articulated on the outer walls respectively 31, 12, and are secured by the first pre-cuts respectively 85, 95. It is the same for the securing portions 104, 74 (not shown) of the first original flaps which cooperate with the closing portions 71, 101 of the second original flaps (not shown), secured to the outer side walls 11, 31 respectively, and are secured by the first pre-cuts respectively 105, 75 (not shown) ).

La figure 2 ne représente que deux rabats intermédiaires 83, 84, 91 et 93,94,81.
Les autres références sont celles de la Figure 1.The figure 2 represents only two intermediate flaps 83, 84, 91 and 93, 94, 81.
The other references are those of the Figure 1 .

Le fait que les parois principales 22, 42 ne comportent pas de rabats permet le remplissage approprié de chaque élément d'emballage par des bouteilles, par exemple.The fact that the main walls 22, 42 do not have flaps allows the appropriate filling of each packaging element by bottles, for example.

Grâce aux prédécoupes 75, 85, 95, 105, il est alors ensuite aisé de fabriquer deux dispositifs d'emballage finaux présentant les dimensions et tailles voulues par simple arrachage mécanique. Les rabats finaux sont ceux qui sont référencés respectivement 83 ; 84,91 ; 81,94 et 93.With pre-cuts 75, 85, 95, 105, it is then easy to manufacture two final packaging devices having the desired dimensions and sizes by simple mechanical pulling. The final flaps are those referenced respectively 83; 84.91; 81.94 and 93.
