Abstract

The invention relates to an appliance comprising a housing (10), a cover (11) connected to the housing in an articulated manner, and a flap (12) articulated in relation to the walls of the housing, said flap and said cover comprising a central cut-out (11.4 -12.4), in the lower part thereof, for authorising the dispensing of the wiping material. Said flap (12) and said cover (11) have a plurality of pairs of complementary forms(11.2) (11.3) and (12.2) (12.3) that respectively face each other, are arranged in the form of a rainbow, and can nest in one another once the cover is closed, and the material strip (M) can be unrolled between the flap and the inner wall of the cover. Said complementary forms arranged in the form of a rainbow are undulated shapes (16) and (17) respectively on the flap and on the inner part of the cover, having successive domed or hollow shapes, thereby avoiding any roughness. Combined, one of the undulated shapes (16 and (17) has, transversely close to the end thereof, a hollow cavity (16.1) or (17.1) having a curvilinear profile. Said cavity is bordered by an undulated end shape (18) having the same curvature as said undulations. The inner surface (18.1) of said undulated end shape (18) adjacent to the profiled hollow cavity forms an abutment region (18.2) for the strip of material pulled out.

Description

APPAREIL DISTRIBUTEUR DE DISTRIBUTOR APPARATUS
MATERIAUX D'ESSUYAGE PREDECOUPES PRE-COVER WIPING MATERIALS
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils distributeurs de matériaux d'essuyage de type essuie-mains, papier toilette, essuie-tout et similaires. The invention relates to the technical sector of dispensing devices wiping materials such as hand towels, toilet paper, paper towels and the like.
Le Demandeur a développé un appareil distributeur de matériaux d'essuyage prédécoupés, objet du brevet français 2 931 350. Cet appareil est du type comprenant un carter formant réceptacle avec une plaque de fond, une paroi horizontale inférieure et des parois latérales avec un couvercle articulé sur un axe. Cet appareil comprend en outre un volet articulé par rapport aux parois du carter dans la partie inférieure de ce dernier, selon l'enseignement de ce brevet. Ce volet est fixé par clipsage par rapport aux dites parois pour lui permettre d'être positionné dans un plan vertical. Dans sa partie supérieure, le volet présente une forme avantageusement curviligne, et dans sa partie inférieure, une découpe centrale sensiblement en demi- cercle pour permettre la sortie du matériau d'essuyage prédécoupé. Le couvercle présente également sur sa face inférieure une découpe centrale similaire à la découpe précitée. The Applicant has developed a dispensing apparatus for pre-cut wiping materials, object of the French patent 2 931 350. This device is of the type comprising a housing forming a receptacle with a bottom plate, a lower horizontal wall and side walls with a hinged lid on an axis. This apparatus further comprises a hinged flap relative to the housing walls in the lower part of the latter, according to the teaching of this patent. This shutter is fixed by clipping relative to said walls to allow it to be positioned in a vertical plane. In its upper part, the flap has an advantageously curvilinear shape, and in its lower part, a central cut substantially in a semicircle to allow the output of the pre-cut wiping material. The cover also has on its underside a central cutout similar to the aforementioned cut.
Le matériau d'essuyage (M) dans cette mise en œuvre est établi sous forme d'une bande enroulée en bobine en étant prédécoupée, ou il peut se présenter en position pré-pliée en Z. The wiping material (M) in this embodiment is established in the form of a coil-wound strip being pre-cut, or it may be in a pre-bent Z-position.
Selon le brevet français précité, la partie basse de l'appareil à l'endroit de sortie du matériau présente des butées opposées de part et d'autre de la bande de matériau en assurant la séparation d'un format de bande par rapport à la ligne de prédécoupe en regard de la bande. L'effort de traction va assurer en fin de passage de la bande entre la paroi avant du volet et la face en regard du couvercle la séparation d'un format de bande par rapport au reste de la bobine ou de la pile de matériau plié en Z grâce aux dites butées. Selon ce brevet, il a été précisé que les dites butées sont réglables en position de part et d'autre de l'ouverture de sortie de la bande de matériau, et ce, par des moyens de coulissement appropriés. According to the abovementioned French patent, the lower part of the apparatus at the exit point of the material has opposite stops on either side of the strip of material, ensuring the separation of a strip format with respect to the pre-cut line next to the band. The tensile force will ensure at the end of the passage of the strip between the front wall of the flap and the face facing the cover the separation of a strip format relative to the rest of the coil or the stack of Z-folded material through said stops. According to this patent, it has been specified that said stops are adjustable in position on either side of the outlet opening of the material strip, and this by appropriate sliding means.
Le Demandeur a constaté que lors de la sortie de la bande de matériau se produisait un effet de froissement de la bande de matériau du à l'effet de rétrécissement de la bande de matériau lors de son passage entre les butées. Sur le principe, cela est nullement gênant, car la plupart des utilisateurs n'attachent pas d'importance à la présentation de la bande de matériau découpé de par l'usage qui en est fait ensuite avec forcément un pliage lors de la fonction essuie-main, essuie-tout, The Applicant has found that during the exit of the strip of material occurs a creasing effect of the material strip due to the shrinkage effect of the strip of material during its passage between the stops. In principle, this is not a problem, because most users do not attach importance to the presentation of the strip of material cut by the use that is made of it with inevitably folding during the wiper function. hand, paper towel,
Pour répondre néanmoins à cette problématique, le Demandeur a conçu un nouvel appareil objet du brevet FR 2 960 760. Succinctement, l'appareil comprend un carter avec un couvercle articulé et agencé sur un axe, et un volet articulé sur les parois latérales du carter. La bande de matériau à l'état prédécoupé ou pré -plié en Z est susceptible de contourner la partie supérieure de forme curviligne disposée en extrémité haute du volet. La bande de matériau (M) passe ainsi devant le volet et contre la face intérieure du couvercle. Dans sa partie basse, le couvercle présente une découpe centrale et le volet une découpe centrale pour le passage et l'évacuation de la bande de matériau. Le volet et le couvercle présentent des couples de formes complémentaires curvilignes en forme d'arc-en-ciel susceptibles de s 'emboîter partiellement lors du passage de la bande de matériau et plus spécifiquement les parties sont les nervures et les rainures. Dans le cadre de ce brevet FR 2 960 760 et pour réduire au maximum tout effet de froissement du matériau lors de son passage entre les formes d'emboîtement complémentaires, il est prévu que la bande de matériau soit déroulée complètement entre le volet et la paroi intérieure du couvercle, sans déformation latérale, et en débordant de part et d'autre, des formes complémentaires mâles-femelles établies selon les couples rainures-nervures formées sur le volet et le couvercle, et ce, en l'absence de toutes butées. Ces formes complémentaires constitutives de rainures et de nervures sont nombreuses et donnent une configuration en arc-en-ciel, selon une amplitude sensiblement plus importante que 180°. Ces formes sont agencées directement ou avec un moyen complémentaire réducteur d'espace entre certaines parties de nervures et de rainures pour permettre et faciliter la séparation d'un format de bande de matériau, lors de la traction par l'utilisateur. Nevertheless, to meet this problem, the Applicant has designed a new apparatus subject to the patent FR 2 960 760. Briefly, the apparatus comprises a housing with an articulated lid and arranged on an axis, and a hinged flap on the side walls of the housing. . The band of material pre-cut or pre-folded Z is likely to bypass the curvilinear upper portion disposed at the top end of the flap. The strip of material (M) thus passes in front of the shutter and against the inner face of the cover. In its lower part, the cover has a central cutout and the shutter a central cutout for the passage and evacuation of the material strip. The flap and the cover have pairs of curvilinear complementary shapes in the form of a rainbow that can partially fit during the passage of the strip of material and more specifically the parts are the ribs and grooves. In the context of this patent FR 2 960 760 and to minimize any wrinkling effect of the material during its passage between complementary forms of interlocking, it is expected that the strip of material is unrolled completely between the shutter and the wall internal cover without lateral deformation, and overflowing on either side, male-female complementary shapes established according to the groove-rib couples formed on the flap and the cover, and this, in the absence of any stops. These complementary forms constituting grooves and ribs are numerous and give a rainbow configuration, with an amplitude substantially greater than 180 °. These shapes are arranged directly or with a complementary space-reducing means between certain portions of ribs and grooves to allow and facilitate the separation of a material strip format during traction by the user.
Ce moyen complémentaire constitué par des formes en saillies formant dents a pour but de rétrécir l'espace entre les rainures et les nervures lors de leur emboîtement. Cette réduction d'espace entraine la formation de zones de retenue de la bande de matériau favorisant l'amorce de son déchirement. Ces empreintes ou dents sont disposées en extrémité basse de la forme en arc-en-ciel obtenue par la concentricité, et favorisent la séparabilité du matériau en cas de traction. This complementary means consisting of protruding shapes forming teeth is intended to narrow the space between the grooves and the ribs during their nesting. This reduction of space causes the formation of retention zones of the strip of material favoring the initiation of its tearing. These fingerprints or teeth are arranged at the lower end of the rainbow shape obtained by the concentricity, and promote the separability of the material in case of traction.
Ce matériau se trouve en quelque sorte passant entre les formes rainures-nervures complémentaires. L'objectif visé à l'origine de cette invention d'éviter un froissement de la bande de matériau n'est pas totalement atteint pour des problèmes d'épaisseur de matériaux que l'on trouve sur les marchés et proposés par de nombreux fabricants. Le Demandeur a aussi développé dans la demande de brevet français 1058449 un appareil distributeur de matériaux d'essuyage comprenant un carter de fixation recevant un couvercle articulé pour sa fermeture en relevage, le carter recevant un module fixé de manière démontable. Ce module est lui-même agencé avec un volet disposé en regard de la face interne du couvercle, la bande de matériau passant entre le volet et la paroi interne du couvercle. This material is in some way passing between complementary groove-rib shapes. The original purpose of this invention to prevent wrinkling of the web of material is not fully achieved for material thickness problems found on the markets and proposed by many manufacturers. The Applicant has also developed in the French patent application 1058449 a wipe material dispensing apparatus comprising a fixing housing receiving a hinged lid for closing in lifting, the housing receiving a removably fixed module. This module is itself arranged with a flap disposed opposite the inner face of the cover, the strip of material passing between the flap and the inner wall of the cover.
Le Demandeur a aussi développé un perfectionnement pour le passage de la bande de matériau entre le volet et la paroi intérieure du couvercle selon la représentation, figures 1 et 2, des dessins au titre de l'art antérieur. Cette solution a été décrite et illustrée dans le brevet français F 1 161439. The Applicant has also developed an improvement for the passage of the web of material between the flap and the inner wall of the cover according to the representation, Figures 1 and 2, of the drawings under the prior art. This solution has been described and illustrated in the French patent F 1 161439.
Le carter formant réceptacle de matériau d'essuyage prédécoupé en bobine ou à l'état pré -plié est référencé par (10). Le couvercle qui est articulé par rapport au carter est référencé par (1 1). Le volet qui est monté entre les flasques latéraux (10.1) du carter est référencé par (12). Dans le plan supérieur au dit volet est représenté une barre de renvoi (13) qui est montée libre en rotation entre les flasques (10.1) du dit carter pour permettre le renvoi de la bande de matériau tirée entre le volet et la face interne du couvercle. La face intérieure du couvercle (1 1.1) et la face apparente en regard (12.1) du volet sont agencées avec des couples de rainures et de nervures respectivement identifiées (1 1.2) (1 1.3) et (12.2) (12.3). La solution apportée, selon ce brevet français FR 1 161439, vise à former et à disposer entre le couple de nervures-rainures de plus petit diamètre et intérieur et l'ouverture (1 1.4) (12.4) formée sur le volet et le couvercle pour le passage du matériau une zone d'appui (1 1.5) (12.5) ayant la forme d'un croissant. Cette forme en croissant est établie pour que dans sa partie médiane la plus large elle présente une dimension en hauteur (hl) de plusieurs centimètres, entre 3 et 6 cm, pour constituer un plan d'appui de la bande de matériau tirée. The wiper material container housing pre-cut into a reel or in the pre-folded state is referenced by (10). The cover which is hinged relative to the housing is referenced by (1 1). The flap which is mounted between the side flanges (10.1) of the housing is referenced by (12). In the plane above said flap is shown a return bar (13) which is mounted free to rotate between the flanges (10.1) of said housing to allow the return of the strip of material drawn between the flap and the inner face of the cover . The inner face of the cover (1 1.1) and the opposite facing face (12.1) of the shutter are arranged with pairs of grooves and ribs respectively identified (1 1.2) (1 1.3) and (12.2) (12.3). The solution provided, according to this French patent FR 1 161439, aims at forming and arranging between the pair of grooves-grooves of smaller diameter and interior and the opening (1 1.4) (12.4) formed on the shutter and the cover for the passage of the material a support zone (1 1.5) (12.5) having the shape of a crescent. This crescent shape is established so that in its middle part the most wide it has a height dimension (hl) of several centimeters, between 3 and 6 cm, to form a support plane of the strip of drawn material.
Selon ce brevet, les parties d'extrémités inférieures des couples rainures-nervures sont agencées avec des formes en saillies (1 1.7 -12.7) et en creux (1 1.8 - 12.8) formées transversalement respectivement sur les nervures du volet et du couvercle puis dans les rainures du volet et du couvercle. De manière spécifique, le volet et le couvercle sont agencés en partie d'extrémité des couples de nervures et de rainures avec une patte transversale méplate (1 1.9 - 12.9) de petite épaisseur autorisant le positionnement et la fixation par moulage, collage, par clipsage sur la patte de réception ou autre d'une bande souple (14 - 15) en un matériau différent et déformable. Les bandes (14 - 15) présentent une configuration complémentaire aux nervures et aux rainures (1 1.2 - 1 1.3) (12.2 - 12.3) pour assurer une continuité avec ces dernières. Ainsi, les dites bandes (14 - 15) présentent des nervures en saillies (14.1 - 15.1) et des parties en rainures (14.2 - 15.2). Il y a ainsi une continuité après positionnement comme représenté figure 2. Le matériau souple utilisé, du type silicone, est susceptible de faciliter la séparation de la bande de matériau et ce quelque soit l'épaisseur de ce matériau. According to this patent, the lower end portions of the groove-rib couples are arranged with projecting (1 1.7 -12.7) and recessed shapes (1 1.8 - 12.8) formed transversely respectively on the ribs of the shutter and the cover and then in the grooves of the shutter and the cover. Specifically, the flap and the cover are arranged at the end of the pairs of ribs and grooves with a flat transverse tab (1 1.9 - 12.9) of small thickness allowing positioning and fixing by molding, gluing, clipping on the receiving lug or the like of a flexible band (14 - 15) of a different and deformable material. The strips (14 - 15) have a complementary configuration to the ribs and grooves (1 1.2 - 1 1.3) (12.2 - 12.3) to ensure continuity with the latter. Thus, said strips (14 - 15) have protruding ribs (14.1 - 15.1) and groove portions (14.2 - 15.2). There is thus a continuity after positioning as shown in FIG. 2. The flexible material used, of the silicone type, is capable of facilitating the separation of the material strip and whatever the thickness of this material.
En pratique, toutes les solutions précédemment explicitées du Demandeur témoignent de recherches continues pour toujours améliorer les conditions de fonctionnement de ces appareils distributeurs de bandes de matériaux prédécoupés avec une problématique liée aux variations très substantielles dans la qualité desdits matériaux, dans leurs épaisseurs, grammages, ouates, matériaux non tissés, cités à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. La multiplicité des différents dépôts de brevets par le Demandeur qui a pourtant plus de 40 ans d'expérience sur ce type d'appareils (premier dépôt en 1968) témoigne de la difficulté à résoudre tous les problèmes. C'est donc dans cette recherche constante d'amélioration que le Demandeur a apporté une amélioration conséquente qui évite le froissement de la bande de matériau tirée par l'utilisateur, et ce, quelle que soit la nature du matériau distribué, y compris les bandes de matériau très peu épaisses et fragiles In practice, all the previously explained solutions of the Applicant testify to continuous research to always improve the operating conditions of these dispensers strips of precut material with a problem related to very substantial variations in the quality of said materials, in their thicknesses, weights, wadding, nonwoven materials, cited as non-limiting examples. The multiplicity of different patent filings by the Claimant who has more than 40 years of experience on this type of device (first filing in 1968) shows the difficulty in solving all the problems. It is therefore in this constant search for improvement that the Applicant has made a substantial improvement that avoids wrinkling of the strip of material drawn by the user, and this, whatever the nature of the material dispensed, including the strips very thin and fragile materials
Selon une première caractéristique, l'appareil distributeur de matériau d'essuyage prédécoupé comprenant un carter formant réceptacle, un couvercle articulé au carter et un volet articulé par rapport aux parois du carter dans la partie inférieure de ce dernier, le dit volet et le dit couvercle présentant dans leur partie inférieure une découpe centrale sensiblement en demi-cercle pour autoriser la sortie du matériau d'essuyage prédécoupé en bobine ou pré plié en Z, le dit volet et le dit couvercle présentant en regard une pluralité de couples de formes complémentaires disposées en arc-en-ciel susceptibles de s 'emboîter les unes dans les autres après fermeture du couvercle, la bande de matériau étant susceptible d'être déroulée entre le volet et la paroi intérieure du couvercle sans déformation latérale et en débordement des formes complémentaires mâles-femelles, constituées par les couples nervures-rainurages formés sur le couvercle et le volet, est remarquable en ce que les dites formes complémentaires disposées en arc-en- ciel sont des formes ondulées respectivement sur le volet et sur la partie intérieure du couvercle, et en ce que lesdites formes ondulées présentent, en alternance, des formes successives bombées et creuses en évitant ainsi toute aspérité ou zone tranchante par une ou des arête(s) vive(s), et en ce que, en combinaison, l'une des formes ondulées, soit sur le volet, soit sur la partie intérieure du couvercle, présente transversalement près de son extrémité une cavité creuse ayant un profil curviligne ou en demi-cercle, et en ce que, en combinaison, ladite cavité est bordurée par une forme d'extrémité ondulée ayant la même courbure que les ondulations formées soit sur le volet, soit la partie intérieure du couvercle, et en ce que ladite forme d'extrémité ondulée adjacente à la cavité creuse profilée constitue par sa face interne une zone de butée de la bande de matériau tirée. According to a first characteristic, the pre-cut wiper material dispensing apparatus comprising a housing forming a receptacle, a cover hinged to the housing and a flap articulated with respect to the walls of the casing in the lower part of the latter, said flap and said cover having in their lower part a central cutout substantially in a semicircle to allow the output of the pre-cut wiping material coil or pre-folded in Z, said flap and said cover having opposite a plurality of pairs of complementary shapes arranged in rainbow that can fit into each other after closure of the cover, the strip of material being able to be unwound between the flap and the inner wall of the cover without lateral deformation and overflow complementary male shapes -Femelles, constituted by the rib-groove pairs formed on the cover and the shutter, e It is remarkable that the said complementary shapes arranged in the rainbow are undulating shapes respectively on the shutter and on the inner part of the cover, and in that the said corrugated shapes have, alternately, successive curved and hollow shapes. thus avoiding any roughness or sharp area by sharp edge (s), and in that, in combination, one of the undulating shapes, either on the shutter or on the inner part of the cover, presents transversely near its end a hollow cavity having a curvilinear or semicircular profile, and in that, in combination, said cavity is bordered by a wavy end shape having the same curvature as the corrugations formed either on the shutter or the inner part of the cover, and in that said corrugated end shape adjacent to the profiled hollow cavity constitutes, by its internal face, an abutment zone of the strip of material drawn.
Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description. These and other characteristics will be apparent from the rest of the description.

La figure 3 est une vue similaire à la figure 1, mais avec l'agencement du volet et de la paroi agencés selon l'invention, dans une première variante de réalisation,  FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but with the arrangement of the shutter and the wall arranged according to the invention, in a first variant embodiment,
La figure 4 est une vue en coupe représentant le volet et la partie couvercle assemblés,  FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the flap and the lid portion assembled,
La figure 5 est une vue partielle selon l'invention du volet et de la paroi intérieure du couvercle, en position séparée avant rabattement l'un en regard de l'autre, dans une deuxième variante de réalisation,  FIG. 5 is a partial view according to the invention of the shutter and of the inner wall of the cover, in a separate position before folding one facing the other, in a second variant embodiment,
La figure 6 est une vue partielle et en coupe illustrant le positionnement de la bande de matériau entre le volet et la face intérieure du couvercle, avec séparation d'un format tiré. Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustré aux figures des dessins. Figure 6 is a partial view in section illustrating the positioning of the web of material between the flap and the inner face of the lid, with separation of a fired format. In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.
Selon l'invention, les couples de rainures et de nervures identifiés aux références (1 1.2) (1 1.3) et (12.2) (12.3) selon la figure 1 de l'art antérieur sont remplacés par des formes ondulées (16) et (17) respectivement sur le volet et sur la partie intérieure du couvercle. Ces formes ondulées sont établies d'une manière régulière avec un pas identique ou variable, dans une configuration en arc-en-ciel. Ces formes ondulées sont susceptibles de présenter, en alternance, des formes successives bombées et creuses en évitant ainsi toute aspérité ou zone tranchante par une ou des arête(s) vive(s). Ces formes ondulées permettent ainsi entre elles le passage harmonieux de la bande de matériau tirée par un opérateur de la manière décrite dans les brevets précédents pour l'obtention d'un format de bande de matériau prédécoupé. En combinaison, l'une des formes ondulées (16) ou (17), soit sur le volet, soit sur la partie intérieure du couvercle, présente transversalement près de son extrémité une cavité creuse (16.1) ou (17.1) ayant un profil curviligne ou en demi-cercle. On a ainsi représenté aux figures 3 et 5 le positionnement de ladite cavité respectivement sur la partie intérieure du couvercle puis sur le volet. En outre, et en combinaison, cette cavité est bordurée par une forme d'extrémité (18) ondulée ayant la même courbure que les ondulations formées soit sur le volet, soit la partie intérieure du couvercle. La hauteur de cette forme d'extrémité ondulée (18) est la même que la hauteur des ondulations formées sur le volet ou sur le couvercle. Cette forme d'extrémité (18) ondulée ainsi adjacente à la cavité creuse profilée (16.1) ou (17.1) constitue par sa face interne (18.1) une zone de butée (18.2) de la bande de matériau tirée. La largeur de cette cavité creuse est de quelques millimètres, par exemple et non limitativement 2 à 5 mm, de sorte que, obligatoirement la bande de matériau, lorsqu'elle passe entre le volet et le couvercle au-dessus de ladite cavité, vient par pression du couvercle sur le volet en contact avec la partie butée (18.2). Cette disposition est extrêmement avantageuse en ce qu'elle permet et facilite la séparation d'un format (Fl) de bande de matériau. According to the invention, the pairs of grooves and ribs identified with the references (1 1.2) (1 1.3) and (12.2) (12.3) according to FIG. 1 of the prior art are replaced by corrugated shapes (16) and ( 17) respectively on the flap and on the inside of the lid. These wavy shapes are established in a regular manner with an identical or variable pitch, in a rainbow configuration. These wavy shapes are likely to present, alternately, successive curved and hollow shapes, thus avoiding any roughness or sharp area by a sharp edge (s). These corrugated shapes thus allow between them the smooth passage of the strip of material pulled by an operator in the manner described in the preceding patents for obtaining a pre-cut material strip format. In combination, one of the corrugated shapes (16) or (17), either on the shutter or on the inner part of the cover, has transversely near its end a hollow cavity (16.1) or (17.1) having a curvilinear profile. or in a semicircle. FIGS. 3 and 5 show the positioning of said cavity respectively on the inner part of the cover and then on the flap. In addition, and in combination, this cavity is bordered by a corrugated end shape (18) having the same curvature as the corrugations formed either on the shutter or the inner part of the cover. The height of this corrugated end shape (18) is the same as the height of the corrugations formed on the flap or on the cover. This corrugated end shape (18) thus adjacent to the profiled hollow cavity (16.1) or (17.1) constitutes, by its internal face (18.1), an abutment zone (18.2) of the drawn material strip. The width of this hollow cavity is a few millimeters, for example and not limited to 2 to 5 mm, so that, inevitably the strip of material, when it passes between the shutter and the cover above said cavity, comes by pressing the lid on the flap in contact with the abutment portion (18.2). This arrangement is extremely advantageous in that it allows and facilitates the separation of a format (F1) of web of material.
La combinaison de ces dispositions fait que la bande de matériau dans son passage entre le volet et la partie intérieure du couvercle n'est nullement froissée car il n'y a aucune saillie apparente susceptible de créer des amorces de plis. En fonction des applications et des matériaux distribués, ce sera soit le volet, soit la partie intérieure du couvercle qui sera aménagé de la manière précitée. Par ailleurs, et selon un avantage important de l'invention, l'autre composant, volet ou partie intérieure du couvercle, selon l'alternance définie, ne présentera que la configuration des ondulations sans cavité creuse, ni partie d'extrémité ondulée (18). On simplifie donc la conception de la fabrication de ces composants. The combination of these provisions that the strip of material in its passage between the flap and the inner part of the lid is not crumpled because there is no apparent projection likely to create fold primers. Depending on the applications and the materials distributed, it will be either the shutter or the inner part of the lid will be arranged in the aforementioned manner. Moreover, and according to an important advantage of the invention, the other component, shutter or inner part of the cover, according to the defined alternation, will only present the configuration of the corrugations without hollow cavity or corrugated end portion (18 ). This simplifies the design of the manufacturing of these components.
Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention, et en particulier, on souligne la simplicité du dispositif et la qualité finale d'un format de bande de matériau séparé qui ne présente aucune amorce de plis. The advantages are well within the scope of the invention, and in particular, the simplicity of the device and the final quality of a separate material strip format which has no fold primer is emphasized.
