Definitions
- the invention relates to the packaging of containers, and more particularly to the packaging of stackable containers grouped by packs.
- the palletisation of the packs is essential for their transport
- a palletizing technique consists of juxtaposing the packs to form layers which are superimposed interposing between them intermediate flanks (generally cardboard) which maintain the cohesion of the pallet by avoiding that the different stages intermingle.
- each pack of containers comprises a cardboard flank pressed against the bottom of the containers and put into film with them, this side being perforated to the right of the bottoms to allow the passage collars of the containers of an underlying pack.
- each pack rests on an underlying pack via the cardboard side, which cooperates with a projecting edge provided in the vicinity of the neck of each container. .
- One objective is therefore to propose a solution for optimizing the palletization of stackable container packs.
- a group of stackable containers each comprising a body, a shoulder in the extension of the body at the top of the container, a neck in the extension of the shoulder, and a bottom in the extension of the body at the bottom of the container, the bottom defining a reserve shaped to accommodate the neck and at least part of the shoulder of an identical underlying container, a flexible film enclosing the group of containers, this film being pierced with lower openings to the right of each hollow reserve , this pack being characterized in that:
- the film marries the bottom of the containers on a lower contact area which extends annularly around the lower openings
- the film is further pierced with upper openings through which the necks extend, the film conforming to the shoulders of the containers on an upper contact area which extends annularly around the upper openings. Thanks to these openings, it is possible to stack the packs without difficulty, the film does not interfere with the nesting of the containers into each other. In addition, despite the presence, in each pack, of the openings, both in the lower part and in the upper part of the containers constituting the pack, the fact that the film marries respectively the bottoms on a lower zone of contact and the shoulders on an area superior contact ensures good cohesion of all of these containers constituting the pack, so that the containers remain firmly grouped.
- the plastic film is bi-oriented
- the plastic film is heat shrunk
- the reserve forms a vault of complementary profile of the shoulder of an identical container, and the lower contact zone extends at least partly on the vault;
- the bottom has a seat defining a laying plane, and the lower contact area includes this laying plane;
- the bottom has an arch defining a peripheral bearing section, and the lower contact zone at least partially encompasses this peripheral bearing section;
- the shoulder of the container comprises an annular peripheral support face, and the upper contact zone includes at least the annular peripheral face;
- the shoulder of the container comprises a frustoconical bearing surface, and the upper contact zone at least partly encompasses this frustoconical bearing surface.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view from above showing a pack of containers wrapped in film
- Figure 2 is a detail view of the neck of a container of the pack, according to the inset II of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view from below of the pack of FIG. 1;
- Figures 4 and 5 are partial sectional views illustrating the nesting of a pack on an underlying pack.
- a pack 1 packaged comprising a group of identical containers 2 (in this case bottles) for sale.
- the group comprises in the illustrated example six containers 2, but it could contain a different number (for example four, eight or even twelve, without these numbers being limiting, of course).
- the containers 2 can be arranged in several rows, as in the example shown where they are organized in a well-known manner in two rows of three containers 2 (or, which amounts to the same, in three rows of two containers 2).
- Each container 2 is of the stackable type, and comprises a body 3 which extends along a main axis X, a shoulder 4 in the extension of the body 3 in the upper part thereof, a neck 5 defining a rim in the extension of the shoulder 4, and a bottom 6 in the extension of the body 3 in the lower part thereof, opposite the shoulder 4.
- the neck 5 is arranged, for example threaded, to allow the removable attachment of a stopper 7.
- the shoulder 4 forms a transition between the neck 5 and the body 3.
- the shoulder 4 comprises, under the neck 5, a frustoconical bearing surface 8 which extends, at its periphery, by an annular peripheral face 9 defining a plane of perpendicular (or substantially perpendicular) support to the main X axis.
- the bottom 6 is shaped to accommodate the upper part (comprising the shoulder 4 and the neck 5 on which is screwed the cap 7) of an identical underlying container 2, so as to allow the stacking of containers 2 (and therefore packs 1) -
- the bottom 6 is partially conformed in a manner complementary to the shoulder 4, so as to allow stacking by simple insertion of the shoulder 4 of the underlying container in the bottom 6 of the upper container 2.
- the bottom 6 thus comprises an annular seat 10 defining a plane 11 for continuous laying complementary to the peripheral bearing surface 9 of the shoulder 4 and extending in a plane perpendicular to the main axis X.
- the bottom 6 also defines a recess 12 recessed shaped to accommodate the neck 5 and at least a portion of the shoulder 4 of a container 2 identical underlying.
- the bottom 6 comprises a conical arch 13 which extends from the seat 10 to a central area of the bottom 6.
- This roof 13 is in two parts and comprises a central pin 14, shaped and dimensioned to completely encompass the neck 5 of the underlying container 2, and a peripheral support section 15, complementary to the frustoconical bearing surface 8 of the shoulder 4 of the underlying container 2.
- the packaging of the pack 1 is made by means of a flexible film 16 enclosing the containers 2 to keep them firmly grouped.
- the film 16 is pierced with openings 17 below the right of the recesses 12 in the hollow of each container 2 of the pack 1.
- Each opening 17 has a transverse extension D1 greater than the overall transverse extension D2 of the entire neck 5 of an identical underlying container 2, so as to allow the passage of the neck 5 of the underlying container during stacking.
- the neck 5 is usually symmetrical of revolution, the lower opening 17 may be circular contour, extensions D1 and D2 then corresponding to diameters.
- the neck 5 is provided with a gripping flange 18, and it is at this collar 18 that the neck has its transverse extension (or its diameter) overall.
- the film 16 marries the containers 2 on a part of their body 3, turned towards the outside of the pack 1. Moreover, as can be seen in FIG. 4, the film 16 also marries the bottom 6 of each container 2 on a lower contact zone 19 which extends annularly around the lower opening 17.
- This lower contact zone 19 includes at least the laying plane. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, this lower contact zone 19 also includes the peripheral support section of the vault 13, the opening 17 extending substantially at the junction between the peripheral section and the pawn 14. central.
- the film 16 is further pierced with openings 20 greater than the right of the necks 5 of each container 2 of the pack 1, each neck 5 extending through a top opening 20 .
- Each upper opening has a transverse extension D3 greater than the transverse extension D2 out all of the neck 5 of the container 2.
- the neck 5 is usually symmetrical of revolution, the upper opening 20 may be circular in outline, so that the transverse extension D3 corresponds to a diameter.
- the film 16 marries the shoulder 4 of each container 2 on an upper contact zone 21 which extends annularly around the upper opening 20.
- the upper contact zone 21 includes at least the annular peripheral face 9.
- the upper contact zone 21 also encompasses at least the periphery of the frustoconical bearing surface 8, the upper opening 20 extending for example approximately halfway up the latter.
- the shoulder 4 of the underlying container 2 is inserted into the hollow reservoir 12 formed in the bottom 6 of the upper container 2 .
- the plane 11 for laying the upper container 2 is pressed against the peripheral bearing surface 9 of the underlying container 2, and the peripheral section 15 of the arch 13 of the upper container 2 is applied against the frustoconical scope 8 of the underlying container 2, with the interposition of the films 16 at respectively the lower contact zone 19 of the upper container 2 and the upper contact zone 21 of the underlying container 2.
- the film Given its small thickness (of the order of one-tenth of a millimeter) and its flexibility, the film does not interfere with stacking.
- the lower opening 19 allows the free passage of the neck 5 of the underlying container 2 when it fits into the bottom 6 of the upper container 2.
- the upper opening 20 allows the film 16 to marry the shoulder 4 over its entire periphery and thus allows the stacking of the packs 1.
- the film 16 would indeed form a tight veil which extends on the one hand between the plugs 7 of the adjacent containers 2, and on the other hand between the plug 7 and the body 3 of the same container 2, without marrying the shoulder 4. This would interfere with the nesting of the containers 2 and would not allow to proceed with the stacking.
- the proposed solution thus facilitates the palletizing of individually stackable containers 2 grouped by packs 1 under film 16, without the film 16, provided with openings 17, 20 suitably located and dimensioned, does not interfere with the stacking of the packs 1.
- the film 16 is made of a heat-shrinkable plastic material, preferably bi-oriented to allow an isotropic retraction (i.e. uniform in any direction) by thermal means.
- a sufficiently strong material eg polyethylene
