Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des emballages de bouquet de fleurs, et plus précisément les emballages à réserve d'eau.The present invention relates to the field of flower bouquet packaging, and more specifically water reserve packaging.

En général, de tels dispositifs d'emballage pour bouquets de fleur comprennent un film d'emballage, étanche, en matière plastique destiné à constituer une réserve d'eau, et un élément support, de renfort, bien souvent en matière plastique rigide ou semi rigide, destiné à donner sa forme à l'emballage et à permettre le maintien stable de l'emballage sur une surface horizontale. Une fois l'emballe formé, le film étanche enveloppé sur l'élément support, et la réserve d'eau constituée, une ligature permet de lier la feuille sur le support, en maintenant les tiges du bouquet.In general, such packaging devices for bouquets of flowers comprise a packaging film, waterproof, plastic material intended to form a reserve of water, and a support element, reinforcement, often made of rigid or semi-rigid plastic material. rigid, intended to give shape to the package and to allow the stable maintenance of the package on a horizontal surface. Once the pack formed, the waterproof film wrapped on the support member, and the water reserve constituted, a ligature binds the sheet on the support, maintaining the stems of the bouquet.

La mise en place d'un tel emballage requiert la réalisation de plusieurs opérations plus ou moins chronophages, à savoir la mise en place du support, la mise en place du film, une étape de mise en forme de la feuille sur le support, le remplissage de la feuille avec de l'eau, l'insertion des tiges du bouquet, puis la ligature de l'emballage ainsi constitué. Bien souvent, pour ces opérations, l'opérateur doit être aidé d'un poste de travail spécifique tel que par exemple celui divulgué dans le document EP 1944239A1 ou similaire.The implementation of such a package requires the realization of several more or less time-consuming operations, namely the introduction of the support, the introduction of the film, a step of shaping the sheet on the support, the filling the leaf with water, the insertion of the stems of the bouquet, then the ligature of the packaging thus constituted. Often, for these operations, the operator must be assisted by a specific workstation such as for example the one disclosed in the document EP 1944239A1 or similar.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, le document FR 2 946 025 propose un emballage qui comprend d'une part, une première partie constituée de deux feuilles souples, l'une décorative et l'autre étanche à l'eau, associées à une armature souple en plastique en forme d'étoile comprenant plusieurs branches déformables, et d'autre part, un conformateur rigide se fixant sur la base de l'armature souple destiné à coopérer avec les branches et à donner sa forme finale à l'emballage. Un fourreau est disposé à la périphérie de la feuille étanche de telle manière à faire passer une unique ficelle, coopérant avec l'extrémité des branches pour les redresser et former l'emballage.To remedy these drawbacks, the document FR 2 946 025 proposes a package which comprises firstly, a first part consisting of two flexible sheets, one decorative and the other waterproof, associated with a flexible plastic star-shaped frame comprising a plurality of deformable branches, and secondly, a rigid shaper is fixed on the base of the flexible armature intended to cooperate with the branches and to give its final shape to the package. A sleeve is disposed at the periphery of the waterproof sheet in such a manner to pass a single string, cooperating with the ends of the branches to straighten them and form the package.

Un tel dispositif permet de former l'emballage en fixant le conformateur sur l'armature souple, puis en exerçant une action de traction sur la ficelle. La traction sur la ficelle permet de regrouper les branches de l'armature jusqu'à leur mise en butée sur des bras du conformateur et ainsi de former l'emballage.Such a device can form the package by fixing the shaper on the flexible frame, then exerting a pulling action on the string. The traction on the string allows the arms of the armature to be grouped until they are abutted on shaper arms and thus to form the package.

Un tel dispositif a toutefois pour inconvénient une perte de place de stockage, plusieurs pièces distinctes (l'armature souple et le conformateur) étant requises pour réaliser l'emballage. Il n'est pas possible d'obtenir la forme finale de l'emballage en utilisant uniquement la ficelle et l'armature souple, sans la présence du conformateur. Le conformateur est donc un élément essentiel du dispositif, qui de part sa rigidité et son encombrement ne facilitera pas le stockage du dispositif.Such a device however has the disadvantage of a loss of storage space, several separate parts (the flexible frame and the shaper) being required to achieve the packaging. It is not possible to obtain the final shape of the package using only the twine and the flexible reinforcement, without the presence of the shaper. The shaper is therefore an essential element of the device, which by its rigidity and its size will not facilitate the storage of the device.

Un tel dispositif nécessite toujours la réalisation de plusieurs opérations, ce qui implique une perte de temps.Such a device always requires the completion of several operations, which implies a loss of time.

Une telle solution représente donc un coût non négligeable du fait de la nécessité d'avoir plusieurs pièces à stocker et à assembler.Such a solution therefore represents a significant cost due to the need to have several parts to store and assemble.

L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier les différents inconvénients de ces techniques connues.The invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.

Plus précisément, un objectif de l'invention est, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de limiter le nombre d'opérations nécessaires à la réalisation de l'emballage.More specifically, an object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to limit the number of operations necessary for the realization of the packaging.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de fournir un emballage qui soit facile à réaliser.Another object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a package that is easy to make.

L'invention a également pour objectif, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de fournir un emballage qui soit facile à stocker.The invention also aims, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a package that is easy to store.

Encore un autre objectif de l'invention est, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de fournir un emballage écologique et facilement recyclable.Yet another object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide an environmentally friendly and easily recyclable packaging.

Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront plus clairement par la suite, sont atteints selon l'invention à l'aide d'un emballage pour bouquet de fleurs, comprenant une feuille d'emballage imperméable à l'eau, destinée à constituer un réservoir d'eau, sur laquelle est collé un élément de renfort destiné à former ledit emballage, ledit élément de renfort comprenant une base autour de laquelle sont répartis, angulairement, des bras, dirigés selon des directions, notamment radiales, autour de la base, articulés à ladite base.These objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly later, are achieved according to the invention using a package for a bouquet of flowers, comprising a waterproof packaging sheet, intended to constitute a water tank, on which is bonded a reinforcing element intended to form said package, said reinforcing element comprising a base around which angularly distributed arms, directed in directions, in particular radial, around the base articulated to said base.

  • According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, said first link can pass through one of the loops, disposed on the arm receiving the orifice traversed by said second link, and said second link can pass through another passer-by, arranged on the receiving arm. the orifice traversed by said first link.

Selon une approche particulièrement simple, chaque orifice peut comprendre des moyens de blocage des liens de serrage.According to a particularly simple approach, each orifice may comprise means for locking the clamping links.

Avantageusement, les moyens de blocage peuvent former un même élément avec l'orifice.Advantageously, the blocking means can form the same element with the orifice.

Préférentiellement, les liens de serrage traversent respectivement deux orifices de la feuille juxtaposés aux orifices desdits bras.Preferably, the clamping links respectively pass through two orifices of the sheet juxtaposed with the orifices of said arms.

Selon un aspect particulier de l'invention, les bases desdits bras sont élargies de telle façon à venir en butée les unes contre les autres dans la position en volume et former une couronne, dans la position en volume du dispositif d'emballage.According to a particular aspect of the invention, the bases of said arms are enlarged so as to abut against each other in the volume position and form a ring, in the volume position of the packaging device.

Selon l'invention, chaque lien de serrage forme une boucle, la zone de préhension de chaque lien de serrage formant une hanse quand ledit emballage est en position de volume.According to the invention, each tightening link forms a loop, the gripping zone of each clamping link forming a hip when said package is in a volume position.

De manière avantageuse, ladite feuille d'emballage, ledit élément de renfort et lesdits liens de serrage sont dans une même matière plastique, notamment du polypropylène.Advantageously, said packaging sheet, said reinforcing element and said clamping ties are made of a same plastic material, in particular polypropylene.

Selon un aspect particulier de l'invention, au moins deux bras diamétralement opposés présentent à leur extrémité des crochets dirigés vers le bas.According to a particular aspect of the invention, at least two diametrically opposite arms have at their end hooks directed downwards.

Selon un mode de réalisation :

  • le premier lien de serrage et le deuxième lien de serrage forment chacun une boucle,

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la feuille d'emballage 10 et l'élément de renfort 2 sont réalisés dans une même matière plastique, comme du polypropylène.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the packaging sheet 10 and the reinforcing element 2 are made of the same plastic material, such as polypropylene.

Avantageusement, la taille des bras 21 peut variée en fonction de l'emballage souhaité et de la taille du bouquet de fleurs. Généralement, la taille des bras est inférieure aux dimensions de la feuille d'emballage 10 de telle manière à cacher complètement l'élément de renfort 2 une fois l'emballage formé, voire laisser une partie surabondante de la feuille destinée à être façonnée manuellement pour enjoliver l'emballage 1.Advantageously, the size of the arms 21 may vary according to the desired packaging and the size of the bouquet of flowers. Generally, the size of the arms is smaller than the dimensions of the packaging sheet 10 in such a way as to completely hide the reinforcing element 2 once the package has been formed, or even leave a superabundant part of the sheet to be shaped manually for beautify the packaging 1.

Selon l'invention, chaque bras 21 est pourvu d'un passant 22, illustré à la figure 3, au niveau de sa partie supérieure qui est destiné à coopérer avec au moins l'un, voire l'autre des deux liens de serrage 3 et 4, les deux liens de serrage 3 et 4 étant indépendant l'un de l'autre. Les liens de serrage 3, 4 peuvent également être réalisés dans une matière plastique, de préférence la même que celle de la feuille d'emballage et de l'élément de renfort de telle manière à faciliter le recyclage.According to the invention, each arm 21 is provided with a passer 22, illustrated in FIG. figure 3 , at its upper part which is intended to cooperate with at least one or both of the two clamping links 3 and 4, the two clamping links 3 and 4 being independent of one another. The clamping links 3, 4 can also be made of a material plastic, preferably the same as that of the packaging sheet and the reinforcing member so as to facilitate recycling.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, illustré à la figure 9, au moins deux bras 21 diamétralement opposés présentent à leur extrémité des crochets 25 dirigés vers le bas de telle manière à pouvoir y accrocher une hanse amovible 28, par exemple, les deux zones de préhension 30 et 40 formant un noeud décoratif.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, illustrated in FIG. figure 9 at least two diametrically opposed arms 21 have at their ends hooks 25 directed downwards so as to be able to hook a removable haunch 28, for example, the two gripping areas 30 and 40 forming a decorative knot.

Les deux liens de serrage 3 et 4, dits premier et deuxième lien de serrage, traversent respectivement deux orifices 23, 24 de deux bras 21 diamétralement opposés de telle façon à ce que chaque lien de serrage 3, 4 présente une zone de préhension, les zones de préhension 30 et 40 étant alors diamétralement opposées.The two clamping links 3 and 4, said first and second clamping links, respectively pass through two orifices 23, 24 of two arms 21 that are diametrically opposed so that each clamping link 3, 4 has a gripping zone. gripping zones 30 and 40 then being diametrically opposed.

Avantageusement, chaque lien de serrage 3,4 forme de préférence une boucle, la zone de préhension 30,40 des liens de serrage étant apte à former une hanse quand l'élément de renfort 2 est en position de volume de telle manière à faciliter le transport du bouquet, tel qu'illustré à la figure 8.Advantageously, each tightening connection 3, 4 preferably forms a loop, the gripping zone 30, 40 of the tightening links being able to form a hinge when the reinforcing element 2 is in the volume position so as to facilitate the transport of the bouquet, as illustrated in figure 8 .

Selon l'invention, les deux liens de serrage 3 et 4 traversent chacun successivement tout ou partie des passants 22 disposés sur la partie supérieure des bras 21. De manière préférentielle, les liens de serrage 3 et 4 traversent chacun successivement des passants 22 diamétralement opposés.According to the invention, the two clamping links 3 and 4 each pass successively all or part of the loops 22 disposed on the upper part of the arms 21. Preferably, the clamping links 3 and 4 each pass successively passers 22 diametrically opposed .

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention illustré, le premier lien de serrage 3 ne passe pas à travers les passants 22 des bras 21 adjacent au bras 211 recevant l'orifice 23 puis passe successivement à travers les autres passants 22, et le deuxième lien de serrage 4 ne passe pas à travers les passants des bras adjacent au bras 210 recevant l'orifice 24 puis passe successivement à travers les autres passants 21.According to one embodiment of the invention illustrated, the first tightening link 3 does not pass through the loops 22 of the arms 21 adjacent to the arm 211 receiving the orifice 23 and then passes successively through the other loops 22, and the second Tightening link 4 does not pass through the loops of the arms adjacent to the arm 210 receiving the orifice 24 and then passes successively through the other loops 21.

Ainsi, l'emballage 1 est apte à passer d'une position à plat dans laquelle la base 20 et les bras 21 de l'élément de renfort 2 sont sensiblement dans un même plan illustré à la figure 5, à une position en volume en tirant simultanément sur les deux liens de serrage 3,4, et en exerçant sur les zones de préhension 30,40 deux forces F1, F2 dont les sens sont opposés tel qu'illustré à la figure 7.Thus, the package 1 is able to pass from a flat position in which the base 20 and the arms 21 of the reinforcing element 2 are substantially in the same plane shown in FIG. figure 5 at a position in by simultaneously pulling on the two clamping links 3,4, and exerting on the gripping zones 30,40 two opposing forces F1, F2 as shown in FIG. figure 7 .

Tel qu'illustré à la figure 5, de préférence, le premier lien 3 traverse le passant 220 disposé sur le bras 210 recevant l'orifice 24 traversé par le deuxième lien 4, et le deuxième lien 4 traverse le passant 221 disposé sur le bras 211 recevant l'orifice 23 traversé par le premier lien 3. Une telle disposition permet notamment d'exercer une force uniforme sur les bras 21 par le biais des liens de serrage 3, 4 et ainsi une mise en volume uniforme de l'emballage 1.As illustrated in figure 5 preferably, the first link 3 passes through the loop 220 disposed on the arm 210 receiving the orifice 24 traversed by the second link 4, and the second link 4 passes through the passer 221 disposed on the arm 211 receiving the orifice 23 traversed by the first link 3. Such an arrangement makes it possible in particular to exert a uniform force on the arms 21 through the clamping links 3, 4 and thus a uniform volume of the packaging 1.

La boucle formée par le premier lien de serrage 3 (ou le deuxième lien de serrage 4) peut être obtenue par le nouage des deux extrémités d'un lien.The loop formed by the first clamping link 3 (or the second clamping link 4) can be obtained by tying the two ends of a link.

De préférence, et selon un mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 10, le noeud 31 (à droite sur la figure) du premier lien de serrage 3 enserre le passant 220 disposé sur le bras 210 recevant l'orifice 24 traversé par le deuxième lien de serrage 4.Preferably, and according to an embodiment illustrated in FIG. figure 10 , the node 31 (on the right in the figure) of the first tightening link 3 encloses the passer 220 disposed on the arm 210 receiving the orifice 24 traversed by the second clamping link 4.

Réciproquement, le noeud 41 (à gauche sur la figure) du deuxième lien de serrage 4 enserre le passant 221 recevant l'orifice 13 traversé par le premier lien de serrage 3.Conversely, the node 41 (on the left in the figure) of the second clamping link 4 encloses the passer 221 receiving the orifice 13 through which the first clamping link 3 passes.

Les parties des bras 21 jouxtant les orifices 23,24 sont de préférence collées à la feuille d'emballage 10, les deux liens de serrage 3 et 4 traversant respectivement deux orifices de la feuille juxtaposés aux orifices 23 des bras 210 et 211, de telle manière que les liens sortent de l'autre coté de la feuille, à l'extérieur de la feuille d'emballage 10.The parts of the arms 21 adjoining the orifices 23, 24 are preferably glued to the wrapping sheet 10, the two clamping links 3 and 4 respectively passing through two orifices of the sheet juxtaposed with the orifices 23 of the arms 210 and 211, of such way the links come out the other side of the sheet, outside the packing sheet 10.

Tel qu'illustré à la figure 2, selon un mode de réalisation, l'orifice 23 ou 24 comprend des moyens de blocage 230 des liens de serrage et forment ainsi un même élément avec l'orifice 23 ou 24. Ces moyens de blocage 230 consistent notamment en un orifice en forme d'étoile de telle manière à empêcher les liens de serrage 3 et 4 de revenir en arrière. Selon un mode de réalisation, l'élément de renfort présente une première paire d'orifices 23,24, diamétralement opposés, et une seconde paire d'orifice 23,' 24',de différentes dimensions. En fonction de la largeur ou de l'épaisseur des liens de serrage, on choisira d'utiliser la paire d'orifice 23,24 ou 23',24' la plus adéquate.As illustrated in figure 2 , according to one embodiment, the orifice 23 or 24 comprises locking means 230 clamping links and thus form a same element with the orifice 23 or 24. These locking means 230 consist in particular of a hole-shaped in such a way as to prevent the clamping links 3 and 4 from going back. According to one embodiment, the reinforcing element has a first pair of orifices 23,24, diametrically opposed, and a second pair of holes 23, '24', of different dimensions. Depending on the width or the thickness of the tightening links, it will be chosen to use the most suitable orifice pair 23,24 or 23 ', 24'.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la base 26 de chaque bras 21 est élargie de telle façon à ce que les bases 26 viennent en butée les unes contre les autres dans la position en volume de l'emballage 1 pour former une couronne dans la position en volume. Une telle couronne permet notamment le bon maintien du pied du bouquet lorsqu'il est posé sur une surface plane, et permet ainsi la prévention de la perforation de la feuille d'emballage 10 par les tiges des fleurs disposées dans l'emballage 1.According to one embodiment of the invention, the base 26 of each arm 21 is enlarged so that the bases 26 abut against each other in the volume position of the package 1 to form a crown in the volume position. Such crown allows in particular the good maintenance of the foot of the bouquet when it is placed on a flat surface, and thus allows the prevention of the perforation of the packaging sheet 10 by the stems of the flowers arranged in the package 1.

Le mode opératoire à la réalisation de l'emballage du bouquet est comme suit.The procedure for producing the bouquet is as follows.

Dans un premier temps, l'opérateur, un fleuriste par exemple, dépose l'emballage 1 sur une surface plane dans sa position à plat, puis saisit les zones de préhension 30,40 des deux liens de serrage 3,4, par ses deux mains. Successivement l'opérateur tire simultanément dessus jusqu'à ce que l'emballage 1 soit dans sa position de volume et que les bases 26 élargies des bras 21 viennent en butée les unes contre les autres, formant ainsi un contenant apte à recevoir de l'eau et le bouquet de fleurs. Lors de cette traction, les bras 21 passent d'une première position dans laquelle ils sont sensiblement dans le plan de la base, vers une position dans laquelle lesdits bras 21 sont sensiblement inclinés par rapport à la base 20.At first, the operator, a florist, for example, deposits the package 1 on a flat surface in its flat position, then grasps the gripping zones 30, 40 of the two clamping links 3,4, by its two hands. Successively the operator simultaneously pulls on until the package 1 is in its volume position and the enlarged bases 26 of the arms 21 abut each other, thus forming a container adapted to receive the water and the bouquet of flowers. During this traction, the arms 21 pass from a first position in which they are substantially in the plane of the base, to a position in which said arms 21 are substantially inclined relative to the base 20.

L'opérateur peut alors lâcher les liens de serrage 3 et 4, ceux-ci étant maintenus dans leur position par le biais des moyens de blocage 230.The operator can then release the clamping links 3 and 4, these being held in their position by means of the locking means 230.

Enfin, l'opérateur remplit l'emballage le réservoir formé par l'emballage, dispose les fleurs dans ce celui-ci et peut éventuellement façonner la partie supérieure de la feuille d'emballage 10 de telle manière à rendre l'emballage 1 plus esthétique.Finally, the operator fills the packaging the tank formed by the package, arranges the flowers in this one and can possibly shaping the upper portion of the packaging sheet 10 so as to make the package 1 more aesthetic.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble destiné à être suspendu verticalement, illustré à la figure 6, et comprenant une superposition de plusieurs emballages 1 conformes à l'invention, dans leur position à plat, ainsi qu'un dispositif de suspension, 100, illustré en pointillés, notamment en carton, destiné à maintenir les emballages 1 mutuellement par l'intermédiaire d'un prolongement 5 détachable de chaque feuille d'emballage 10. Le prolongement 5 peut être détachable de la feuille par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne prédécoupée.The invention also relates to an assembly intended to be suspended vertically, illustrated in FIG. figure 6 , and comprising a superposition of several packagings 1 according to the invention, in their flat position, and a suspension device, 100, shown in dotted lines, in particular of cardboard, for holding the packs 1 mutually via a detachable extension 5 of each packaging sheet 10. The extension 5 may be detachable from the sheet through a pre-cut line.

Un tel ensemble peut être suspendu à des barres de rayonnage. Il suffit de tirer sur un des emballages pour que celui se détache de l'ensemble.Such an assembly can be suspended from rack bars. Just pull on one of the packaging to make it stand out.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de réalisation auraient pu être envisagés par l'homme du métier sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications ci-après.Naturally, other embodiments could have been envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
