Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'emballage et a plus particulièrement pour objet un étui de conditionnement hermétique en carton, fabriqué à partir d'une seule pièce, comprenant une ouverture initialement scellée et refermable.The present invention relates to the field of packaging and more particularly to a hermetic carton packaging case, made from a single piece, comprising an opening initially sealed and reclosable.

L'étui de conditionnement selon l'invention trouve notamment une application particulière dans le domaine de l'emballage de denrées alimentaires solides, semi-liquides ou pâteuses, et notamment à titre d'exemple particulier l'emballage de tablettes de chocolat.The packaging case according to the invention finds particular application in the field of the packaging of solid, semi-liquid or pasty foodstuffs, and particularly as a particular example the packaging of chocolate bars.

Dans l'art antérieur, il a été proposé de nombreuses inventions pour assurer le conditionnement de denrées alimentaires solides telles qu'une tablette de chocolat, Par exemple, le brevet GB 2 441 325 décrit un emballage réalisé à partir d'un flan de carton muni d'un système de découpe mi-chair permettant de délimiter un volet d'ouverture pourvu d'une fente de préhension pour faciliter son ouverture. Le système de découpe mi-chair est aménagé pour délimiter après ouverture, des languettes venant coopérer avec le corps de l'emballage pour assurer le blocage du volet en position fermée.In the prior art, many inventions have been proposed for packaging solid foodstuffs such as a chocolate bar, for example, the patent. GB 2,441,325 discloses a package made from a cardboard blank provided with a half-flesh cutting system for defining an opening flap provided with a gripping slot to facilitate its opening. The half-flesh cutting system is arranged to define after opening, tabs cooperating with the body of the package to ensure the blocking of the flap in the closed position.

Un inconvénient d'un tel étui est qu'il n'est pas hermétique à l'air ni à l'humidité, nécessitant un emballage supplémentaire pour la denrée alimentaire à conditionner. Un autre inconvénient de cet étui d'emballage est la difficulté à placer le volet de fermeture dans sa position fermée.A disadvantage of such a case is that it is not hermetic to air or moisture, requiring additional packaging for the foodstuff to be packaged. Another disadvantage of this packaging case is the difficulty of placing the closure flap in its closed position.

Dans le domaine de l'emballage de denrées alimentaires liquides, on connait des étuis de conditionnement en carton à revêtement hermétique. A titre d'exemple, le document EP0405322 décrit un étui de conditionnement en carton, destiné essentiellement à contenir des liquides, recouvert d'une matière synthétique ou d'une matière apte au scellement. Cet étui comporte un système de fermeture par thermoscellage qui consiste, après l'assemblage du flan en un parallélépipède, à aplatir et thermosceller une extrémité de l'étui créant ainsi une extrémité en forme de trapèze, et à plier la deuxième extrémité de manière à obtenir une base plate. L'ouverture de cet étui s'effectue par le déchirement de la partie scellée supérieure. L'inconvénient principal de cet étui est qu'il n'est pas refermable. De plus, la mise en forme de l'étui à partir du flan n'est pas simple à mener à bien. Enfin, cet étui s'avère peu adapté pour le conditionnement de denrées solides ou pâteuses.In the field of the packaging of liquid foodstuffs, packaging cases made of cardboard with hermetic coating are known. For example, the document EP0405322 discloses a cardboard packaging case, essentially for containing liquids, covered with a synthetic material or a material suitable for sealing. This case comprises a heat sealing closure system which consists, after assembly of the blank in a parallelepiped, to flatten and heat-seal an end of the case thus creating a trapezoid-shaped end, and to bend the second end so as to get a flat base. The opening of this case is effected by the tearing of the upper sealed portion. The main disadvantage of this case is that it is not reclosable. In addition, the Shaping the case from the blank is not easy to carry out. Finally, this case is not very suitable for packaging solid or pasty products.

De même, le document WO2009127783 décrit un corps d'étui parallélépipédique et pourvu d'une fermeture en forme de prisme. Afin de réaliser un tel étui, le document décrit la réalisation d'une partie de raccordement entre le corps de l'étui et une bande thermoscellée. Cette bande permet de donner de la stabilité à l'étui et permet l'assemblage de l'étui en forme de prisme. L'inconvénient majeur de cette réalisation est un assemblage difficile à cause d'un grand nombre de lignes de pliages, De plus, l'ouverture de l'étui se fait par un système de déchirement de la bande thermoscellée ne permettant pas de refermer l'étui.Similarly, the document WO2009127783 describes a parallelepipedal case body and provided with a prism-shaped closure. In order to achieve such a case, the document describes the realization of a connecting portion between the body of the case and a heat-sealed strip. This band provides stability to the case and allows the assembly of the prism-shaped case. The major disadvantage of this embodiment is a difficult assembly because of a large number of fold lines, In addition, the opening of the case is by a tearing system of the heat sealed tape does not allow to close the l 'case.

La présente invention vise donc à remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique en proposant un nouveau flan prédécoupé pour la réalisation, par des opérations simples de pliage et de scellage, d'un étui de conditionnement pour une denrée alimentaire solide, pâteuse ou semi-liquide, présentant un caractère hermétique pouvant être ouvert facilement et refermé à volonté.The present invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a new pre-cut blank for the realization, by simple operations of folding and sealing, of a packaging case for a solid food, pasty or semi-liquid, having a hermetic character that can be opened easily and closed at will.

Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, la présente invention propose un flan pour la réalisation d'un étui de forme générale parallélépipédique de conditionnement hermétique d'une denrée alimentaire. Ce flan est réalisé d'une seule pièce en carton et pourvue sur l'une de ses faces d'une couche étanche à l'air et / ou à l'humidité. De plus, ce flan comporte un panneau frontal, deux panneaux latéraux positionnés de part et d'autre du panneau frontal et deux panneaux dorsaux positionnés chacun en continuité d'un panneau latéral. Ces cinq panneaux sont articulés successivement entre eux par des lignes de pliage et présentent de part et d'autre une première et une deuxième extrémité, et sont reliés à l'une de leur première extrémité, à une bande de fermeture par l'intermédiaire d'une bande de liaison. La bande de liaison est reliée, d'une part, aux cinq panneaux et, d'autre part, à la bande de fermeture par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires aux lignes de pliage des panneaux. La bande de fermeture comporte au moins deux lignes de pliage parallèles aux lignes de pliage des panneaux et positionnées au niveau des panneaux latéraux. Selon l'invention, le flan comporte essentiellement une deuxième bande de fermeture qui est reliée à la deuxième extrémité des panneaux par l'intermédiaire d'une deuxième bande de liaison. La deuxième bande de liaison est reliée aux cinq panneaux et à la bande de fermeture par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires aux lignes de pliage des panneaux. La bande de fermeture comporte au moins deux lignes de pliage parallèles aux lignes de pliage des panneaux et positionnées au niveau des panneaux latéraux. L'un au moins des cinq panneaux comporte au moins un système de prédécoupe mi- chair prolongé d'une découpe traversante formant un volet d'ouverture s'articulant autour d'une des lignes de pliage. De plus, une étiquette adhésive est positionnée pour recouvrir complètement la découpe traversante, cette étiquette adhésive comportant une zone de fixation permanente sur une partie du volet et une zone de fixation repositionnable sur le flan.In order to achieve this objective, the present invention proposes a blank for the production of a generally parallelepipedal case for hermetically packaging a foodstuff.

La présente invention propose un nouvel emballage de type étui E, représenté par les Fig. 2 à 4 . Ce nouvel étui E de forme générale parallélépipédique est particulièrement adapté au conditionnement hermétique d'une ou plusieurs denrées alimentaires solides, semi-liquides ou pâteuses. Ainsi, selon l'invention, les denrées alimentaires solides sont du type : des tablettes de chocolat, des bonbons ou carreaux de chocolats en vrac. Les denrées alimentaires pâteuses sont par exemple des pâtes de fruit, des viandes ou des fromages rangés en empilement ou en vrac. Dans la suite de la description, la denrée alimentaire est désignée par une tablette de chocolat.The present invention proposes a new package of type E case , represented by the Fig. 2 to 4 . This new casing E of parallelepipedal general shape is particularly suitable for hermetic packaging of one or more solid foodstuffs, semi-liquid or pasty. Thus, according to the invention, the solid foodstuffs are of the type: chocolate bars, sweets or loose chocolate tiles. Pastry foods are for example fruit pastes, meats or cheeses stacked or bulk. In the rest of the description, the foodstuff is designated by a chocolate bar.

Selon l'invention, ce nouvel étui E est obtenu par pliage d'un flan de matériau cartonné prédécoupé 1 représenté à la Fig. 1 . According to the invention, this new case E is obtained by folding a blank of pre-cut cardstock material 1 shown in FIG. Fig. 1 .

Comme il ressort de cette Fig. 1 , le flan prédécoupé 1 est réalisé d'une seule pièce en carton. L'une des faces, au moins, du flan prédécoupé 1 est pourvue d'une couche étanche à l'air et/ou à l'humidité. Ainsi, le flan 1 comporte à l'opposé d'une face externe 1a, une face interne 1b présentant une couche étanche à l'air et/ou à l'humidité. Avantageusement, la couche étanche à l'air et/ou à l'humidité est constituée par un revêtement rapporté sur la face interne du flan ou par un traitement réalisé sur la face interne du flan.As is apparent from this Fig. 1 , the pre-cut blank 1 is made of a single piece of cardboard. At least one of the faces of the pre-cut blank 1 is provided with an air-tight and / or moisture-proof layer. Thus, the blank 1 has opposite an outer face 1a, an inner face 1b having a layer airtight and / or moisture. Advantageously, the airtight layer and / or moisture is constituted by a coating on the internal face of the blank or by a treatment on the inner face of the blank.

Le flan prédécoupé 1 comporte un panneau frontal 2, deux panneaux latéraux 3 et 4 positionnés de part et d'autre du panneau frontal 2, et deux panneaux dorsaux 5 et 6, positionnés chacun en continuité d'un panneau latéral. Ces cinq panneaux sont de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, et sont destinés à constituer des parois de l'étui E. Les panneaux 3 et 4 latéraux ont des dimensions sensiblement identiques.The pre-cut blank 1 comprises a front panel 2, two side panels 3 and 4 positioned on either side of the front panel 2, and two back panels 5 and 6, each positioned in continuity with a side panel. These five panels are substantially rectangular in shape, and are intended to constitute walls of the case E. The panels 3 and 4 side have substantially identical dimensions.

Ces cinq panneaux sont articulés successivement entre eux par des lignes de pliage des panneaux I1, I2, I3 et I4, parallèles entre elles. Les cinq panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 présentent en outre une première 7 et une seconde 8 extrémités de panneaux. A la première extrémité 7, les cinq panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 sont reliés à une bande de liaison 9, par l'intermédiaire de laquelle ils sont reliés à une bande de fermeture 10. La bande de liaison 9 est reliée, d'une part, aux cinq panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 et d'autre part, à la bande de fermeture 10, par des lignes de pliage de première extrémité 15 et 16, perpendiculaires aux lignes de pliages I1, I2, I3 et I4 des panneaux. De plus, tel que cela apparait à la Fig. 1 , la bande de fermeture 10 est pourvue de deux lignes de pliage sur elle-même I7 et I8, parallèles aux lignes de pliages des panneaux I1, I2, 13 et 14 et positionnées chacune au niveau d'un panneau latéral 3 ou 4, et de préférence au milieu dudit panneau latéral 3, 4. These five panels are articulated successively between them by folding lines of the panels I1, I2, I3 and I4, parallel to each other. The five panels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 further have a first 7 and a second 8 ends of panels. At the first end 7, the five panels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are connected to a connecting strip 9, through which they are connected to a closure strip 10. The connecting strip 9 is connected on the one hand, to the five panels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and on the other hand, to the closure band 10, by first end fold lines 15 and 16, perpendicular to the fold lines I1, I2, I3 and I4 of the panels. Moreover, as it appears in Fig. 1 , The closure strip 10 is provided with two fold lines on itself I7 and I8, parallel to the fold lines of the panels I1, I2, and 13 and 14 each positioned at one side panel 3 or 4, and preferably in the middle of said side panel 3, 4.

Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, les cinq panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 sont reliés à la seconde extrémité 8 à une seconde bande de fermeture 11 par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde bande de liaison 12. La seconde bande de liaison 12 est reliée d'une part, aux cinq panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 et d'autre part, à la seconde bande de fermeture 11, par respectivement, des lignes de pliage 19 et I10 perpendiculaires aux lignes de pliage des cinq panneaux entre eux.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the five panels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are connected to the second end 8 to a second closing band 11 via a second connecting strip 12. The second connecting strip 12 is connected on the one hand, to the five panels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and on the other hand, to the second closure strip 11, respectively, fold lines 19 and I10 perpendicular to the lines folding the five panels together.

De plus, la seconde bande de fermeture 11 comporte au moins deux lignes de pliage sur elle-même I11 et I12, parallèles aux lignes de pliage des cinq panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 entre eux et positionnées chacune au niveau d'un panneau latéral 3 ou 4 et de préférence au milieu dudit panneau latéral 4. Ainsi, pour chaque panneau latéral 3, 4, la ligne de pliage sur elle-même I11 respectivement et I12 de la seconde bande de fermeture 11 s'étend dans le prolongement de la ligne de pliage sur elle-même I7 et respectivement I8 de la bande de fermeture 10.In addition, the second closure band 11 comprises at least two fold lines on itself I11 and I12 , parallel to the fold lines of the five panels 2 , 3, 4 , 5 and 6 between them and each positioned at the level of a side panel 3 or 4 and preferably in the middle of said side panel 4. Thus, for each side panel 3 , 4 , the fold line on itself I11 and I12 respectively of the second closure strip 11 extends in the extension of the fold line on itself I7 and respectively I8 of the closure strip 10 .

Typiquement, lors de la réalisation de l'étui E, les bandes de fermeture 10 et 11 sont destinées à être repliées chacune sur elle-même, avant que les parties en contact soient assemblées ensemble par thermoscellage ou grâce à un film adhésif.Typically, during the production of the case E , the closure strips 10 and 11 are intended to be folded each on itself, before the parts in contact are assembled together by heat sealing or with an adhesive film.

Selon une autre caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, l'un au moins des cinq panneaux comporte au moins un système de prédécoupe mi-chair P1, P2, prolongé d'une découpe traversante d1 qui s'étend sur toute l'épaisseur du flan en débouchant sur les faces interne 1b et externe 1a. Le système de prédécoupe mi-chair et la découpe traversante d1 permettent de former un volet d'ouverture 13 donnant accès à l'intérieur de l'étui formé. Typiquement, le système de prédécoupe mi-chair P1, P2, et la découpe traversante d1 sont tels que le volet 13 d'ouverture s'articule autour d'une ligne de pliage des panneaux I1, I2, I3, I4. Dans l'exemple illustré, le système de prédécoupe P1, P2 et la découpe traversante d1 sont aménagés principalement sur une partie du panneau frontal 2. According to another essential feature of the invention, at least one of the five panels comprises at least one half-flesh precut system P1, P2, extended by a through cut d1 which extends over the entire thickness of the blank opening on the inner faces 1b and outer 1a. The half-cut precut system and the through cut-out d1 form an opening flap 13 giving access to the inside of the formed case. Typically, the half-flesh precut system P1, P2, and the through cut-out d1 are such that the opening flap 13 is articulated around a fold line of the panels I1, I2, I3, I4. In the illustrated example, the precut system P1, P2 and the throughcut d1 are arranged mainly on a part of the front panel 2.

Le système de prédécoupe mi-chair P1, P2 comprend au moins deux lignes de découpe parallèles entre elles, arrêtées en profondeur dans le matériau du flan 1 sans être jointives et aménagées en relation de proximité chacune à partir d'une face 1a, 1b différente du flan. Selon un mode avantageux de réalisation, le système de prédécoupe mi- chair comprend deux lignes de découpe parallèles et décalées latéralement entre elles, dont l'une est réalisée à partir de la face interne 1b et dont l'autre est aménagée à partir de la face externe 1a. Bien entendu, les deux lignes de découpe mi-chair peuvent être réalisées en vis-à-vis à partir des faces différentes du flan si l'épaisseur du flan le permet. L'une des deux lignes de découpe mi-chair est typiquement réalisée en continuité avec la découpe traversante d1, pour former le volet 13. Avantageusement, les découpes mi-chair sont réalisées soit par des moyens mécaniques de découpe, soit par des moyens optiques tels que des rayons laser. Les fonctions et avantages du système de prédécoupe mi- chair seront mieux compris dans la suite de la description relative à l'étui E, une fois formé.The half-flesh precut system P1, P2 comprises at least two cutting lines parallel to each other, stopped deep in the material of the blank 1 without being contiguous and arranged in proximity relation each from a different face 1a, 1b of the flan. According to an advantageous embodiment, the mating precut system comprises two parallel cutting lines and offset laterally between them, one of which is made from the inner face 1b and the other is arranged from the inside. external face 1a . Of course, the two half-flesh cutting lines can be made vis-à-vis from the different faces of the blank if the thickness of the blank allows it. One of the two half-flesh cutting lines is typically made in continuity with the through cut-out d1, to form the flap 13. Advantageously, the half-flesh cuts are made either by mechanical cutting means or by optical means such as laser beams. The functions and advantages of the pre-cut system will be better understood in the following description of case E, once formed.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le système de prédécoupe mi-chair est constitué de deux ensembles de deux lignes de découpe mi-chair P1 et P2, les deux ensembles P1 et P2 étant séparés et prolongés en continuité par la découpe traversante d1 qui se trouve par exemple aménagée dans la partie centrale du panneau frontal 2. Ces deux ensembles P1 et P2 et la découpe traversante d1 définissent alors les bords du volet 13. According to an advantageous embodiment, the half-flesh precut system consists of two sets of two half-flesh cut lines P1 and P2, the two sets P1 and P2 being separated and prolonged in continuity by the through cut-out d1 which found for example arranged in the central part of the front panel 2. These two sets P1 and P2 and the through cut d1 then define the edges of the flap 13.

Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation de l'invention, le volet 13 s'étend d'une extrémité à l'autre du panneau qui le porte, à savoir le panneau frontal 2 dans l'exemple illustré et jusqu'au niveau de la ligne de pliage I2 entre le panneau frontal 2 et le panneau latéral 4. Avantageusement, le volet 13 s'étend au moins jusqu'à un deuxième panneau contigu au panneau qui le porte. Ainsi, tel que cela ressort de la Fig. 1 , les lignes de découpe mi-chair P1, P2 sont réalisées sur le panneau latéral 4 entre les deux lignes de pliage 12, 14 du panneau latéral 4. Le volet 13 est ainsi destiné à s'articuler dans l'exemple illustré, selon la ligne de pliage 14 situé entre le panneau latéral 4 et le panneau dorsal 6. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flap 13 extends from one end to the other of the panel which carries it, namely the front panel 2 in the illustrated example and up to the level of the line I2 folding between the front panel 2 and the side panel 4. Advantageously, the flap 13 extends at least to a second panel adjacent to the panel that carries it. Thus, as is apparent from the Fig. 1 , the half-flesh cutting lines P1, P2 are made on the side panel 4 between the two fold lines 12, 14 of the side panel 4. The flap 13 is thus intended to articulate in the illustrated example, according to the fold line 14 located between the side panel 4 and the back panel 6.

Selon une autre caractéristique essentielle, la découpe traversante d1 est complètement recouverte par une étiquette adhésive 14 fixée sur la face externe 1a du flan 1 et dans l'exemple illustré, sur le panneau frontal 2. Cette étiquette adhésive 14 qui déborde tout autour de la découpe traversante d1, permet d'assurer l'étanchéité au niveau de la découpe traversante d1. De plus, l'étiquette 14 comporte une zone de fixation permanente 15 au moins sur une partie du volet 13 de sorte que l'étiquette 14 puisse rester fixée sur le volet 13 quels que soient les déplacements du volet par rapport au flan pour assurer l'ouverture ou la fermeture de l'étui comme cela sera expliqué dans la suite de la description. L'étiquette adhésive 14 comporte également une zone de fixation repositionnable 16 permettant, de façon répétée, d'ouvrir et de fermer le volet 13 par rapport au flan 1. Cette zone de fixation repositionnable 16 est donc située au moins en partie en dehors du volet 13, à savoir sur une partie du panneau frontal 2 dans l'exemple illustré.According to another essential characteristic, the through cut-out d1 is completely covered by an adhesive label 14 fixed on the outer face 1a of the blank 1 and in the example shown on the front panel 2. This adhesive label 14 which protrudes all around the through cut-out d1, makes it possible to ensure the tightness at the level of the through cut-out d1. In addition, the label 14 has a permanent fixing zone 15 at least on a portion of the flap 13 so that the label 14 can remain fixed on the flap 13 regardless of the movements of the flap relative to the blank to ensure the opening or closing of the case as will be explained in the following description. The adhesive label 14 also comprises a repositionable fastening zone 16 which makes it possible, repeatedly, to open and close the shutter 13 with respect to the blank 1. This repositionable fastening zone 16 is thus located at least partly outside the flap 13, namely on a part of the front panel 2 in the example shown.

Les zones de fixation permanente 15 et repositionnable 16 de l'étiquette 14 peuvent être réalisées de toute manière appropriée. Par exemple, la zone de fixation permanente 15 peut être réalisée par un adhésif permanent tandis que la zone de fixation repositionnable 16 peut être réalisée par une adhésif repositionnable ou à l'aide d'un adhésif permanent combiné à un vernis. Il est à noter que l'étiquette 14 peut être pourvue d'une zone dépourvue de colle, contigüe à la zone de fixation repositionnable 16, pour faciliter les opérations d'ouverture et de fermeture du volet 13. Areas of permanent attachment 15 and repositionable 16 of the tag 14 can be performed in any suitable manner. For example, the permanent fixing zone 15 can be made by a permanent adhesive while the repositionable fixing zone 16 can be made by a repositionable adhesive or by means of a permanent adhesive combined with a varnish. It should be noted that the label 14 may be provided with a zone devoid of glue, contiguous to the repositionable fixing zone 16, to facilitate the operations of opening and closing the flap 13.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les panneaux dorsaux 5 et 6 présentent chacun une zone de recouvrement destinée à les sceller hermétiquement l'un contre l'autre par un joint adhésif ou par thermoscellage, afin de former un panneau de dos d'étui E formé à partir du flan 1. According to an advantageous embodiment, the back panels 5 and 6 each have a covering zone intended to seal them against each other by an adhesive seal or by heat-sealing, in order to form a back panel of case E formed from the blank 1.

Le flan prédécoupé 1 tel que représenté à la Fig. 1 et précédemment décrit est mis en forme suivant des modes particulièrement simples et aisés de pliage et de scellage des panneaux pour former l'étui E. The pre-cut blank 1 as shown in FIG. Fig. 1 and previously described is shaped according to particularly simple and easy modes of folding and sealing the panels to form the case E.

Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation de l'invention, la mise en forme du flan prédécoupé 1 débute par le positionnement de la tablette de chocolat sur le panneau frontal 2, sur la face interne 1b du flan 1 comportant le revêtement étanche à l'air et/ou à l'humidité.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the forming of the pre-cut blank 1 starts with the positioning of the chocolate bar on the front panel 2, on the inner face 1b of the blank 1 comprising the airtight coating and / or moisture.

Tel que cela ressort de la Fig. 2 , il convient ensuite de rabattre les deux panneaux dorsaux 5 et 6, afin qu'ils viennent en vis-à-vis du panneau frontal 2, en assurant le pliage des panneaux latéraux 3, 4 par rapport au panneau frontal 2, selon les lignes de pliage des panneaux I1, I2 et le pliage des panneaux dorsaux 5, 6 selon les lignes de pliage I3, I4. Cette opération de pliage est complétée par le pliage des première et seconde bande de fermeture 10 et 11 selon les lignes de pliage I7, I8, I11 et I12 positionnées au niveau des panneaux latéraux. De plus, il convient de veiller à rabattre les panneaux dorsaux 5 et 6 en position de recouvrement partiel de manière qu'un joint adhésif ou une bande de thermoscellage puisse les sceller hermétiquement l'un contre l'autre pour former le panneau dorsal de l'étui E, tel que cela apparaît en Fig. 2 . As is apparent from the Fig. 2 , it is then necessary to fold down the two back panels 5 and 6, so that they come opposite the front panel 2, ensuring the folding of the side panels 3 , 4 with respect to the front panel 2, according to the lines folding panels I1, I2 and folding dorsal panels 5, 6 according to fold lines I3, I4. This folding operation is completed by the folding of the first and second closure strip 10 and 11 along the fold lines I7, I8, I11 and I12 positioned at the side panels. In addition, care should be taken to fold the back panels 5 and 6 in the partial overlap position so that an adhesive joint or heat sealing tape can seal them together to form the back panel of the back cover. case E, as it appears in Fig. 2 .

Dans cette position, chaque bande de fermeture 10, 11 a sa partie située entre les lignes de pliage I7-I8 et I11-I12 qui se trouve en vis-à-vis des parties repliées de la bande de fermeture situées entre les lignes de pliage I7, I8 - I11, I12 et les bords voisins libres de la bande de fermeture. Les deux parties repliées et la partie non repliée de chaque bande de fermeture 10, 11 sont scellées ensemble de manière hermétique, soit par thermoscellage, soit par un adhésif. Avantageusement, si les bandes de fermeture 10 et 11 sont scellées thermiquement pour former l'étui E, alors les première et seconde bandes de liaison 9 et 12 présentent des dimensions suffisantes pour assurer l'isolation thermique de la tablette de chocolat lors du thermoscellage.In this position, each closure band 10, 11 has its part situated between the fold lines I7-I8 and I11-I12 which is opposite the folded portions of the closure band situated between the fold lines. I7, I8 - I11, I12 and the adjacent free edges of the closure band. The two folded portions and the unfolded portion of each closure strip 10, 11 are hermetically sealed together, either by heat sealing or by an adhesive. Advantageously, if the closure strips 10 and 11 are thermally sealed to form the case E, then the first and second binding strips 9 and 12 have sufficient dimensions to ensure thermal insulation of the chocolate bar during heat sealing.

Bien entendu, l'homme du métier saurait sceller les première et seconde bandes de fermeture, avant de sceller les panneaux dorsaux entre eux.Of course, those skilled in the art would know how to seal the first and second closure strips before sealing the back panels together.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la mise en forme du flan prédécoupé 1 consiste tout d'abord à rabattre les deux panneaux dorsaux 5 et 6, en veillant à plier les première et seconde bande de fermeture 10 et 11 selon les lignes de pliage I7, I8, I11 et I12 positionnées au niveau des panneaux latéraux. Il convient alors de les sceller hermétiquement l'un contre l'autre pour former le panneau dorsal de l'étui E grâce à un joint adhésif ou par thermoscellage, tel que cela apparaît en Fig. 2 . Une fois les panneaux dorsaux scellés hermétiquement, il convient de sceller la première bande de fermeture 10 par un adhésif ou par thermoscellage. Ensuite il convient d'insérer la tablette de chocolat dans l'étui E avant de sceller la seconde bande de fermeture 11 par un adhésif ou par thermoscellage.According to another embodiment of the invention, the forming of the pre-cut blank 1 consists first of folding the two back panels 5 and 6, making sure to fold the first and second closure strips 10 and 11 according to the fold lines I7, I8, I11 and I12 positioned at the side panels. It is then necessary to seal them together to form the back panel of the case E by means of an adhesive seal or by heat sealing, as it appears in Fig. 2 . Once the back panels are hermetically sealed, the first closure strip 10 should be sealed with adhesive or heat sealing. Then insert the chocolate bar into the case E before sealing the second closure band 11 with adhesive or heat sealing.

Avantageusement, si la seconde bande de fermeture 11 est scellée thermiquement, alors la seconde bande de liaison 12 présente des dimensions suffisantes assurant l'isolation thermique de la tablette de chocolat lors du thermoscellage.Advantageously, if the second closure strip 11 is thermally sealed, then the second connecting strip 12 has sufficient dimensions ensuring the thermal insulation of the chocolate bar during heat sealing.

L'étui E est ainsi formé par pliage, fixation et mise en forme du flan prédécoupé 1. Tel que cela ressort plus particulièrement de la Fig. 3 , l'étui E ainsi formé est initialement fermé hermétiquement autour de la tablette de chocolat, sa face interne 1b étant recouverte d'un revêtement étanche à l'air et / ou à l'humidité, Tel que cela ressort plus particulièrement des Fig. 2, 3 et 4 , l'étui E comporte un corps d'étui C de forme générale parallélépipédique, formé principalement par le pliage sur eux-mêmes, du panneau frontal 2, des panneaux latéraux 3, 4 et des panneaux dorsaux 5, 6. Le corps d'étui C comporte ainsi le panneau frontal 2 s'étendant en vis-à-vis du panneau de dos formé par l'assemblage en continuité des panneaux dorsaux 5, 6, le panneau frontal 2 et le panneau de dos 5, 6, étant reliés ensemble par les panneaux latéraux 3, 4 s'étendant en regard l'un de l'autre. Le corps d'étui C est pourvu à une extrémité d'une bande de fermeture 10 pliée et scellée sur elle-même, et reliée au corps d'étui par l'intermédiaire d'une bande de liaison 9. Cette bande de liaison 9 présente un profil en biseau.The case E is thus formed by folding, fixing and forming the pre-cut blank 1. As is more particularly apparent from the Fig. 3 , E thus formed pouch is initially sealed around the chocolate bar, the inner face 1b being covered with a waterproof coating to air and / or moisture, As seen more particularly of Fig. 2, 3 and 4 , the case E comprises a casing body C of generally parallelepipedal shape, formed mainly by the folding on themselves, the front panel 2, side panels 3 , 4 and back panels 5, 6. The body of case C thus comprises the front panel 2 extending opposite the back panel formed by the continuous assembly of the back panels 5, 6, the front panel 2 and the back panel 5, 6, being connected together by the side panels 3 , 4 extending opposite one another. The case body C is provided at one end with a closure band 10 folded and sealed on itself, and connected to the case body via a connecting strip 9. This connecting strip 9 has a bevel profile.

Selon l'invention, le corps d'étui C est pourvu à une autre extrémité d'une seconde bande de fermeture 11 respectivement, reliée aux cinq panneaux du corps C par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde bande de liaison 12, qui est pliée et présente un profil en biseau. La seconde bande de fermeture 11 est pliée et scellée sur elle-même.According to the invention, the case body C is provided at another end with a second closure band 11 respectively, connected to the five panels of the body C via a second connecting strip 12, which is folded and has a bevelled profile. The second closure band 11 is folded and sealed on itself.

Un tel étui présente ainsi l'avantage d'être totalement hermétique avant sa première ouverture. Lorsqu'un utilisateur souhaite accéder à la tablette de chocolat, pour la première fois, il tire sur l'étiquette 14 à partir de sa zone de fixation repositionnable 16 pour amener son décollement par rapport au panneau frontal 2 jusqu'à la découpe traversante d1. Ensuite, l'utilisateur continue le mouvement de traction sur l'étiquette 14. L'application d'un effort de traction sur l'étiquette 14 qui est accrochée au volet 13 par sa zone de fixation permanente 15 conduit à écarter le volet 13 relativement au flan tout en le déchirant le long du système de prédécoupe mi-chair P1 et P2. L'ouverture du volet 13 se fait alors jusqu'à son pivotement autour de la ligne de pliage I2 entre le panneau frontal 2 et le panneau latéral contigu 4. L'utilisateur peut alors continuer le mouvement de déplacement du volet 13 de manière à déchirer selon le système de prédécoupe mi-chair P1 et P2, le panneau latéral 4 contigu au panneau frontal 2 jusqu'à son pivotement autour de la ligne de pliage 14 entre le panneau latéral contigu 4 au panneau frontal 2 et le panneau dorsal 6 en continuité avec lui. L'utilisateur peut alors accéder à la tablette de chocolat.Such a case thus has the advantage of being completely sealed before its first opening. When a user wishes to access the chocolate bar, for the first time, he pulls on the label 14 from its repositionable fixing area 16 to bring its separation relative to the front panel 2 to the through cutout d1 . Then, the user continues the traction movement on the label 14. The application of a tensile force on the label 14 which is attached to the flap 13 by its permanent fixing zone 15 leads to the flap 13 being displaced relative to the blank while tearing it along the half-flesh precut system P1 and P2. The opening of the flap 13 is then until its pivoting around the fold line I2 between the front panel 2 and the adjacent side panel 4. The user can then continue the movement of movement of the flap 13 so as to tear according to the half-flesh precut system P1 and P2, the side panel 4 contiguous to the front panel 2 until its pivoting around the fold line 14 between the adjacent side panel 4 to the front panel 2 and the back panel 6 in continuity with him. The user can then access the chocolate bar.

La fonction du système de prédécoupe mi-chair P1 et P2 est de favoriser le déchirement selon les lignes de découpe mi-chair lorsque le volet d'ouverture est manipulé pour sa première ouverture. L'avantage du système de prédécoupe mi-chair est de garantir l'emballage hermétique de la denrée dans l'étui E, tant que le volet n'est pas ouvert.The function of the half-flesh precut system P1 and P2 is to promote tearing along the half-flesh cutting lines when the opening flap is manipulated for its first opening. The advantage of the precut system half-flesh is to ensure the hermetic packaging of the commodity in the case E, as the flap is not open.

Par ailleurs, le recouvrement débordant de la découpe traversante d1 par l'étiquette adhésive 14 assure une complète étanchéité à l'étui, cette découpe traversante d1 permettant d'initier le mouvement de déchirement du volet selon les lignes de découpe mi-chair dans la mesure où l'effort de soulèvement est réalisé au niveau de l'étiquette adhésive 14. Furthermore, the overlap covering the throughcut d1 by the adhesive label 14 ensures a complete seal to the case, this through cut d1 to initiate the tearing movement of the flap along the cut lines half-flesh in the as the lifting force is achieved at the level of the adhesive label 14.

Ainsi, l'étui E selon l'invention permet le conditionnement hermétique de la tablette de chocolat tant qu'il est scellé. Comme l'étui E est pourvu du revêtement étanche à l'air et / ou à l'humidité, la tablette de chocolat peut être insérée sans être recouverte au préalable par un film de protection. Ceci est un avantage à la fois économique, ergonomique et esthétique. De plus, ceci est un avantage en termes de diminution de quantité de déchets.Thus, the case E according to the invention allows the hermetic packaging of the chocolate bar as it is sealed. As the case E is provided with the airtight and / or moisture-proof coating, the chocolate bar can be inserted without being covered beforehand with a protective film. This is an economic, ergonomic and aesthetic advantage. In addition, this is an advantage in terms of reducing the amount of waste.

Après la première ouverture de l'étui E, la tablette de chocolat est particulièrement facile d'accès en raison du pivotement du volet 13. De plus, l'étiquette adhésive 14 est pourvue avantageusement d'une zone de fixation repositionnable 16, de sorte que l'étui E est donc avantageusement ouvrable et refermable à souhait. En effet, le volet 13 peut être positionné dans une position stable de fermeture, en venant dans le prolongement du panneau frontal 2, par la fixation de l'étiquette 14 sur le panneau frontal 2, à l'aide de sa zone de fixation repositionnable 16. Enfin, comme l'étui E est refermable grâce à l'étiquette adhésive 14, il permet un maintien et une protection de la tablette de chocolat, jusqu'à sa finale consommation.After the first opening of the case E, the chocolate bar is particularly easy to access because of the pivoting of the flap 13. In addition, the adhesive label 14 is advantageously provided with a repositionable fastening zone 16, so that the case E is therefore advantageously openable and reclosable at will. Indeed, the flap 13 can be positioned in a stable position of closure, coming in the extension of the front panel 2, by fixing the label 14 on the front panel 2, with its repositionable attachment area 16. Finally, as the case E is reclosable thanks to the adhesive label 14, it allows maintenance and protection of the chocolate bar, until its final consumption.

L'homme du métier saura adapter les dimensions des différents panneaux qui constituent le flan prédécoupé 1 et l'étui E en fonction des dimensions de la denrée à emballer.Those skilled in the art will be able to adapt the dimensions of the different panels which constitute the precut blank 1 and the case E according to the dimensions of the foodstuff to be packaged.

L'homme du métier sait adapter la forme et la position du volet 13 sur les différents panneaux qui composent le corps de l'étui C en fonction de ses besoins.The skilled person knows how to adapt the shape and position of the shutter 13 on the various panels that make up the body of the case C according to its needs.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre.The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown since various modifications can be made without departing from its scope.
