Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a device for grouping and transporting a stack of patterns intended for the constitution of packaging, the device, hereinafter referred to as a "transport device” by concision, itself being derived from placing a blank of sheet material, such as corrugated cardboard or other properly cut and folded sheet material, into volume.
  • a transport device by concision, itself being derived from placing a blank of sheet material, such as corrugated cardboard or other properly cut and folded sheet material, into volume.
  • it relates to the transport of a stack of unbound patterns intended for making boxes, for example, for an object or a bottle.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision making it possible to optimize at least a part of the logistics chain from the manufacturer's place of manufacture to the place of use at the customer's premises and furthermore leading to other advantages.
  • a device for transporting a stack of patterns for the constitution of packaging the transport device itself being derived from the setting volume of at least one blank of sheet material and characterized in that it comprises a bottom, at least two uprights for receiving between them the stack of patterns from the bottom to a top panel, each amount being in the form of a strip said material raised from the bottom to the top panel for joining the uprights, and in that each upright is connected to the bottom and the top panel by a fold line and is bordered beyond one of its sides formed by a fold line by a folded lateral extension outwardly of the transport device and extending from the bottom to the crown panel.
  • such a transport device In addition, compared to a standard box-type packaging, such a transport device requires a quantity of packaging, necessary for its constitution, reduced, which minimizes the weight to be transported and reduces the resulting waste, and therefore sources of waste. .
  • the fold lines connecting the amounts to the bottom on the one hand and the top panel on the other hand extend parallel to each other, and the fold lines connecting the amounts to the bottom on the one hand and at the other end panel extend perpendicular to the fold lines forming a side of the uprights bordered by a lateral extension.
  • the patterns for the constitution of packaging each have a generally cruciform configuration. They thus make it possible to simply reconstitute a parallelepiped packaging, for example for a packaging of an object or a bottle.
  • the crown panel extends in one piece between the uprights and comprises at least one gripping cutout forming a handle.
  • the presence of the gripping cutout particularly facilitates the handling of the device, as well as to insert it into a packaging of greater capacity, such as for example to stack several transport devices in a pallet box, than to extract it or still position the transport device on a feeder of a machine.
  • the handle may optionally be reinforced for example by an adhesive tape, possibly with reinforcing son.
  • the top panel comprises two parts, each formed of an area by means of a fold line extending parallel to that connecting the top panel to at least one of the uprights, such that an area distal from a portion of the top panel, relative to the connection of the top panel to the posts, overlies a distal area of the other portion of the top panel, locking means intervening between the parts to keep them to each other.
  • the transport device is made in one piece in a blank
  • the transport device can also be opened by separating the two parts, or even collect a stack of patterns and be closed thanks to the locking means which are for example reversible.
  • the locking means are in the form of a tab resulting from a cut in one of the portions of the top panel and intended to be engaged in a cut made in the other part of the panel top, the parts forming a handle in favor of their cuts. This thus makes it possible to produce the transport device and the locking means in one piece, by cutting a blank.
  • the handle extends for example parallel to the fold lines connecting the uprights to the top panel.
  • Such an arrangement makes it possible for example to minimize possible torsion effects in the uprights during an opening of the device, whatever the chosen mode of opening, that is to say for example unlocking the locking means s' they exist, or tear of an amount or other if the transport device is made of a material allowing it.
  • the amounts are four in number, arranged in pairs on either side of the bottom, the lateral extensions of two amounts arranged on the same side facing towards each other.
  • the presence of four uprights allows a better holding in position of the patterns, and it is also more difficult, if not impossible, to extract the patterns of the transport device without opening it.
  • the four uprights are, for example, arranged in four corners of the bosses, especially if they have a cruciform shape.
  • the lateral extensions of two uprights arranged on the same side and facing one another leave a perforated passage area between them for the passage of at least one branch of each of the patterns. of the stack, and, according to particular additional provisions, the lateral extensions of the two uprights arranged on the same side and facing each other are adapted to clamp between them a slice of the branch of each of the patrons of the stack passing between them.
  • the transport device is thus minimized while allowing a maintenance of the bosses in stack, and a reduction of games between the bosses and the lateral extensions.
  • two of the uprights located on two different sides of the bottom face each other and are each connected to the bottom, of a generally rectangular shape, from a longitudinal edge thereof.
  • Such an arrangement allows for a better stability of the stack of patterns in the device.
  • Such an arrangement also allows better ergonomics of the device, especially in the case where it is brought to lying down, for example in a feeder of a machine before extracting the stack of patterns.
  • the bottom has at least one precut line for separating at least one first amount of a second amount by one of their ends.
  • the presence of at least one precut line makes it possible to make the opening of the transport device easier and faster, independently of the presence of locking means in the top panel.
  • the bottom is generally rectangular and comprises two precut lines forming two non-parallel sides of a trapezium whose bases coincide with the fold lines connecting it to the uprights.
  • One of the bases then comprises one of the first or second amounts.
  • a large base is connected to two of the uprights on the same side, and the other two uprights are located on either side of a small base, the same line connecting the small base of the fold lines of the two amounts that surround it.
  • the big base is confused with a whole longitudinal edge of a rectangular bottom.
  • the bottom has two parts and reversible connecting means intervening between these parts.
  • This embodiment is particularly interesting for making reusable transport devices.
  • the transport device is made in one piece in a blank, and the top panel is formed in one piece also; the reversible connection means allow opening and closing of the device.
  • the transport device is made in two parts, a first part comprising at least one upright, a first part of the top panel and a first part of the bottom, and a second part of the transport device consequently comprising the minus another amount, a second part of the summit panel and a second part of the bottom.
  • the reversible connecting means are in the form of self-gripping connection means, for example loops on one part and hooks on the other part, which is convenient for opening and closing the device quickly. In this case, for example, it is then convenient for one part to overlap the other.
  • other reversible connection means are conceivable, such as for example a tongue formed in the first part of the bottom, and a slot in the second part.
  • the first part is of generally rectangular shape and is connected to at least a first upright by a fold line, while the second part is formed by at least one tab connected to a second upright, also by a folding line.
  • This tab may be adapted to cooperate with a slot, or for example include a portion of the hook-and-loop means, an ad hoc counterpart being present on the first part of the bottom.
  • the sheet material of the blank is cardboard or corrugated cardboard, or, in another example, the sheet material of the blank is made from a semi-rigid plastic material, such as cellular PVC (Aquilux type, registered trademark) or a sandwich material, for example with a polystyrene foam core.
  • semi-rigid is used here to mean that the plastic material makes it possible to mount the blank in volume, i.e. to hold a structure, while being foldable.
  • Cardboard or corrugated cardboard is particularly useful for making lightweight and single-use transport devices, although cartons may be reusable. In addition, such devices are easily recyclable.
  • a plastic material makes it possible to produce more robust transport devices, especially if multiple uses are to be envisaged.
  • the object of the present invention is, according to another aspect, a pallet box, in which a plurality of transport devices as described above, each loaded with a stack of patterns, is arranged.
  • a box pallet has the advantage of being reusable, and directly handy, for example by a forklift. It does not need to be manually moved by a user.
  • the transport devices are arranged nested so as to allow compact stacking of the transport devices in the box pallet. This makes it possible to improve a filling rate of the pallet box, depending on the shape of the patterns, for example.
  • a staggered arrangement is also advantageous for compact stacking of the transport devices in the pallet box.
  • the transport devices are arranged on at least two levels in the pallet box, they are for example separated by a sheet of cardboard or corrugated board disposed between two levels.
  • the pallet box has a flap or an openable panel, in particular to facilitate access to devices of a lower level.
  • the transport device has a compactness such that it allows an increase in storage capacity compared to a box-type packaging for example, and thus a decrease in the number of trucks for transporting the same amount of patterns, involving a decrease in road traffic and forklifts, and thus a reduction in the carbon footprint.
  • the transport devices as described above also make it possible to dispense with third reinforcing elements since their constitution gives them structural rigidity.
  • the present invention relates to a blank of a device for transporting a pile of patterns intended for the constitution of packaging, characterized in that it is made of a suitably cut sheet material and groove, the blank being suitable for producing a device for transporting a stack of patterns intended for the constitution of packaging as described above.

  • each precut line 120 passes towards the center of a longitudinal edge 119b on the one hand, and on one edge on the other hand 121, or on a first longitudinal edge 119b beyond an inner side of each upright 104 on the one hand, and on the other hand beyond an outer side 124 of each upright 104 the other longitudinal edge 119a, towards a corner 105 of the bottom 103 for example, in a case where the uprights 104 would be distant from the side edges 121 of the bottom 103.
  • the two precut lines 120 opening on the same longitudinal edge 119b, between two uprights 104, here have, between them, a protuberance forming a tongue 125 to facilitate their tearing to open the bottom 103.
  • the Figures 4a and 4b illustrate a second step of the method of opening the transport device 100 to separate at least two amounts from each other.
  • the transport devices 100 have four uprights 104 connected in pairs to the longitudinal edges 119a, 119b of the bottom 103.
  • the opening of the transport device 100 thus makes it possible to separate two uprights 104 of the same longitudinal edge 119a, 119b of the two others.
  • the figure 4a presents the transport device 100 of the figure 3 .
  • the figure 4b presents another embodiment of a transport device 100, in which the bottom 103 has two parts 103a and 103b, the first part 103a covering the second part 103b, and reversible connection means 129, 130 intervening between these parts.
  • the reversible connecting means 129, 130 are in the form of self-gripping connection means, such as loops and hooks.
  • a first portion 103a comprises loops 129 and a second portion 103b includes hooks 130.
  • the reverse is of course conceivable.
  • Such a transport device 100 is for example formed from two blanks. It could, however, be formed of a single blank with, for example, a vertex panel 107 in one piece.
  • Such an embodiment is particularly suitable for transport devices 100 reusable, for example plastic.
  • the first part 103a is here of generally rectangular shape and is connected to two uprights 104 of a pair, while the second part 103b is formed by two tabs connected to the two other uprights 104 of the other pair. And more specifically, each leg of the second portion 103b is here connected to a single amount 104.
  • the figure 5 illustrates a third step of the method of sliding the stack 200 of patterns 201 relative to the transport device 100 along the feeder 300, then remove the transport device 100.
  • the transport device 100 shown is that of the figure 4a however, that of the figure 4b , or a transport device 100 resulting from the setting volume of a blank 101 as shown figure 1 would also be appropriate.
  • a precut line 120 separates opposite posts 104, and is more convenient than a rotation around the various fold lines 115a. 115b, 110a, 110b or 109a, 109b where appropriate, can be realized.
  • the spacing of two opposite uprights 104 makes it possible to slide the pile 200 of patterns 201 between them. This is particularly convenient when the transport device 100 is lying on a feeder 300 in order to be able to load the patterns 201 easily and quickly.
  • a piece 103c which remains connected to a post 104 after tearing of the bottom 103 remains in an extension of the amount 104, that is to say has the same width, so as not to hinder the sliding of the stack 200.
  • the pieces 103c of the figure 4a are particularly appropriate, while those of the figure 1 would be less. It would then be possible to remedy it if the precut line 120 debouched on the longitudinal edge 119a, 119b coinciding with the root 122 on the inner side of a corresponding upright 104.
  • the transport device 100 can easily be removed, then discarded and recycled, or stored somewhere for later reuse.
  • figure 6 represents a pallet box 400, composed of a box 401 on a pallet 402, in which is disposed a plurality of transport devices 100 according to one of the embodiments described above, and each loaded with a stack 200 of patterns 201.
  • the transport devices 100 are arranged nested so as to have a compact stack.
  • the transport devices 100 could be arranged in staggered rows.
  • the rigidity of the transport devices 100 in particular conferred by the presence of lateral extensions 117, allows stacking on two levels, or even several levels.
  • a transport device 100 of a first level is separated from a transport device 100 of a second level by a sheet, for example made of corrugated cardboard, which gives them a better stability in the pallet box 400.
  • the pallet box 400 has a flap or a workable panel 403, in particular to facilitate access to transport devices 100 of a lower level.
