  • un corps comportant au moins deux parties, le corps étant mobile entre une configuration fermée, dans laquelle le corps définit un logement adapté pour recevoir l'objet, et une configuration ouverte, dans laquelle les deux parties sont écartées l'une de l'autre par rapport à la configuration fermée pour permettre un retrait de l'objet dudit logement, le corps définissant dans la configuration fermée une face inférieure destinée à reposer sur une surface selon une direction d'appui ; et
  • un organe pour fixer les deux parties l'une sur l'autre dans la configuration fermée.
The present invention relates to a package adapted for at least one object preferably having a mass of between 2 and 25 kg, the package comprising:
  • a body having at least two parts, the body being movable between a closed configuration, wherein the body defines a housing adapted to receive the object, and an open configuration, wherein the two parts are spaced apart from each other relative to the closed configuration to allow removal of the object from said housing, the body defining in the closed configuration a lower face for resting on a surface in a bearing direction; and
  • an organ for fixing the two parts to one another in the closed configuration.

L'objet est par exemple une enceinte acoustique ou un amplificateur électroacoustique.The object is for example an acoustic speaker or an electroacoustic amplifier.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble d'un tel objet et d'un tel emballage.The invention also relates to an assembly of such an object and such a package.

Un objet tel qu'une enceinte acoustique ou un amplificateur a, par exemple, typiquement une masse comprise entre 2 et 25 kg. Pour emballer un tel objet, il est connu de le placer dans un carton ou une boîte s'ouvrant vers le haut. Des éléments, par exemple en polystyrène expansé, sont utilisés pour caler l'objet. L'objet est par exemple placé dans un sac protecteur.An object such as a loudspeaker or an amplifier has, for example, typically a mass of between 2 and 25 kg. To package such an object, it is known to place it in a carton or box opening upwards. Elements, for example expanded polystyrene, are used to wedge the object. The object is for example placed in a protective bag.

Pour ouvrir l'emballage, un utilisateur retire le couvercle de la boîte ou ouvre les battants du carton. Puis, il saisit l'objet en général à l'aide de ses deux mains et le déplace vers le haut pour enfin le poser sur une surface de réception. Ensuite, il enlève le sac.To open the package, a user removes the lid of the box or opens the flaps of the carton. Then, he grasps the object in general with both hands and moves it upward to finally place it on a receiving surface. Then he removes the bag.

En général, avant l'ouverture, l'emballage est posé sur une surface située plus bas que la surface de réception, afin de faciliter le mouvement d'extraction de l'objet. Néanmoins, l'objet ayant typiquement une masse comprise entre 2 et 25 kg, le mouvement d'extraction reste difficile à effectuer pour l'utilisateur.In general, before opening, the package is placed on a surface lower than the receiving surface, to facilitate the extraction movement of the object. Nevertheless, since the object typically has a mass of between 2 and 25 kg, the extraction movement remains difficult for the user to perform.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple, et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un ensemble selon l'invention, le corps étant dans la configuration fermée et protégé par un étui fixant les deux parties du corps l'une sur l'autre,
  • la figure 2 est une vue éclatée de l'ensemble représenté sur la figure 1 selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'appui,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du corps de l'emballage représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la vue étant prise sous un angle montrant la face inférieure du corps,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective du corps et de l'objet représentés sur les figures 1 à 3, le corps étant dans la configuration ouverte et l'objet reposant sur l'embase, et
  • la figure 5 est une coupe du corps et de l'objet représentés sur les figures 1 à 4, selon un plan de symétrie des deux parties du corps dans la configuration fermée.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example, and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of an assembly according to the invention, the body being in the closed configuration and protected by a holster fixing the two parts of the body to one another,
  • the figure 2 is an exploded view of the assembly shown on the figure 1 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bearing direction,
  • the figure 3 is a perspective view of the body of the packaging shown on the Figures 1 and 2 , the view being taken at an angle showing the underside of the body,
  • the figure 4 is a perspective view of the body and the object represented on the Figures 1 to 3 , the body being in the open configuration and the object resting on the base, and
  • the figure 5 is a section of the body and the object represented on the Figures 1 to 4 , according to a plane of symmetry of the two parts of the body in the closed configuration.

En référence aux figures 1 à 5, on décrit un ensemble 1 selon l'invention.With reference to Figures 1 to 5 an assembly 1 according to the invention is described.

Comme visible sur la figure 1, l'ensemble 1 présente avantageusement une forme parallélépipédique. L'ensemble 1 repose sur une surface S, par exemple sensiblement plane et avantageusement sensiblement horizontale, selon une direction d'appui D sensiblement perpendiculaire à la surface S, c'est-à-dire sensiblement verticale dans le cas présent.As visible on the figure 1 , the assembly 1 advantageously has a parallelepiped shape. The assembly 1 rests on a surface S, for example substantially flat and preferably substantially horizontal, in a support direction D substantially perpendicular to the surface S, that is to say substantially vertical in this case.

Selon une variante non représentée, la surface S forme un angle avec l'horizontale et la direction d'appui D n'est donc pas verticale.According to a variant not shown, the surface S forms an angle with the horizontal and the support direction D is not vertical.

En référence aux figures 2, 3 et 4, l'ensemble 1 comprend un objet 5, et un emballage 10 adapté pour emballer et déballer l'objet 5.With reference to figures 2 , 3 and 4 , the assembly 1 comprises an object 5, and a package 10 adapted to pack and unpack the object 5.

L'objet 5 est par exemple une enceinte acoustique. Dans l'exemple représenté, l'objet 5 présente une forme générale globulaire, légèrement oblongue selon une direction T (figure 2) sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'appui D.The object 5 is for example an acoustic enclosure. In the example shown, the object 5 has a generally globular shape, slightly oblong in a direction T ( figure 2 ) substantially perpendicular to the support direction D.

En variante, l'objet 5 présente toute forme générale, usuelle ou non, pour une enceinte acoustique.Alternatively, the object 5 has any general shape, usual or not, for an acoustic enclosure.

L'objet 5 a par exemple une masse comprise entre 2 et 25 kg.The object 5 has for example a mass of between 2 and 25 kg.

Selon une variante non représentée, l'objet 5 est tout objet du domaine de l'acoustique ou de l'électronique grand public, par exemple un amplificateur. L'emballage 10 comprend un corps 15 comportant au moins deux parties 15A, 15B, etc... et mobile entre une configuration fermée représentée sur la figure 3, et une configuration ouverte représentée sur la figure 4.According to a variant not shown, the object 5 is any object in the field of acoustics or consumer electronics, for example an amplifier. The package 10 comprises a body 15 comprising at least two parts 15A, 15B, etc. and mobile between a closed configuration represented on the figure 3 , and an open configuration represented on the figure 4 .

L'emballage 10 comprend en outre un organe 20 (figures 1 et 2) adapté pour fixer les deux parties 15A, 15B l'une sur l'autre dans la configuration fermée du corps 15.The package 10 further comprises a member 20 ( Figures 1 and 2 ) adapted to fix the two parts 15A, 15B one on the other in the closed configuration of the body 15.

L'organe 20 forme par exemple un étui adapté pour être glissé sur le corps 15 selon une direction T2 lorsque le corps 15 est dans la configuration fermée. L'organe 20 comporte par exemple quatre faces adaptées pour ceinturer le corps 15 autour de la direction T2.The member 20 forms for example a holster adapted to be slid on the body 15 in a direction T2 when the body 15 is in the closed configuration. The member 20 comprises for example four faces adapted to surround the body 15 around the direction T2.

L'organe 20 comporte par exemple une poignée 22 sur l'une de ses faces, adaptée pour permettre un transport de l'ensemble 1 à la manière d'une valise.The member 20 comprises for example a handle 22 on one of its faces, adapted to allow transport of the assembly 1 in the manner of a suitcase.

L'organe 20 est par exemple en carton imprimé ou en matière plastique. La direction T2 est par exemple sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'appui D.The member 20 is for example printed cardboard or plastic. The direction T2 is for example substantially perpendicular to the support direction D.

Le corps 15 présente par exemple une forme générale sensiblement parallélépipédique, avantageusement adaptée pour coopérer avec l'organe 20. Le corps 15 définit dans la configuration fermée (figure 3) une face inférieure 24 destinée à reposer sur la surface S selon la direction d'appui D lorsque l'organe 20 est retiré.The body 15 has for example a generally parallelepipedal general shape, advantageously adapted to cooperate with the member 20. The body 15 defines in the closed configuration ( figure 3 ) a lower face 24 intended to rest on the surface S in the support direction D when the member 20 is removed.

Outre les deux parties 15A, 15B, le corps 15 comprend une embase 30 propre à supporter l'objet 5 dans la configuration ouverte du corps (figure 4).In addition to the two parts 15A, 15B, the body 15 comprises a base 30 adapted to support the object 5 in the open configuration of the body ( figure 4 ).

Dans la configuration fermée (figure 3), le corps définit un logement 32 adapté pour recevoir l'objet 5.In the closed configuration ( figure 3 ), the body defines a housing 32 adapted to receive the object 5.

Le corps 15 est avantageusement conformé pour que le passage de la configuration fermée (figure 3) à la configuration ouverte (figure 4) se fasse par un déplacement des parties 15A, 15B l'une par rapport à l'autre selon une trajectoire sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'appui D.The body 15 is advantageously shaped so that the passage of the closed configuration ( figure 3 ) to the open configuration ( figure 4 ) is done by a displacement of the parts 15A, 15B relative to each other in a path substantially perpendicular to the support direction D.

Avantageusement, le logement 32 épouse sensiblement la forme externe de l'objet 5.Advantageously, the housing 32 substantially matches the external shape of the object 5.

Dans la configuration fermée, les parties 15A, 15B sont en contact l'une avec l'autre selon un plan S' (figure 3) parallèle à la direction d'appui D.In the closed configuration, the parts 15A, 15B are in contact with each other in a plane S '( figure 3 parallel to the support direction D.

Selon une variante non représentée, les parties 15A, 15B sont en contact l'une avec l'autre dans la configuration fermée selon une surface quelconque.According to a variant not shown, the parts 15A, 15B are in contact with each other in the closed configuration according to any surface.

Toujours dans la configuration fermée, les parties 15A, 15B définissent une ouverture 34 du logement 32 vers l'extérieur du corps 15 à travers laquelle s'étend l'embase 30.Still in the closed configuration, the portions 15A, 15B define an opening 34 of the housing 32 towards the outside of the body 15 through which the base 30 extends.

Chaque partie 15A, 15B comprend un bord 36A, 36B délimitant l'ouverture 34.Each portion 15A, 15B comprises an edge 36A, 36B delimiting the opening 34.

Dans la configuration ouverte, les parties 15A, 15B sont écartées l'une de l'autre par rapport à la configuration fermée pour permettre un retrait de l'objet 5 du logement 32. Les parties 15A, 15B se situent à l'écart de l'embase 30 pour ménager un accès direct à l'objet 5 selon une direction d'accès A (figure 4) sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'appui D.In the open configuration, the portions 15A, 15B are spaced from each other with respect to the closed configuration to allow removal of the object 5 from the housing 32. The parts 15A, 15B are located away from the base 30 to provide direct access to the object 5 in an access direction A ( figure 4 ) substantially perpendicular to the support direction D.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la partie 15B est montée pivotante sur la partie 15A autour d'un axe C avantageusement sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'appui D.In the example shown, the portion 15B is pivotally mounted on the portion 15A about an axis C advantageously substantially parallel to the support direction D.

Dans l'exemple représenté, les parties 15A, 15B sont sensiblement symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport au plan S', aussi seule la partie 15A sera décrite en détail ci-après.In the example shown, the parts 15A, 15B are substantially symmetrical to each other with respect to the plane S ', so only the portion 15A will be described in detail below.

Comme visible sur la figure 4, la partie 15A présente une forme générale sensiblement parallélépipédique. Du côté de sa face destinée à être en contact avec la partie 15B dans la configuration fermée du corps 15, la partie 15A définit un logement 38A qui représente dans l'exemple décrit la moitié du logement 32.As visible on the figure 4 the portion 15A has a generally parallelepipedal general shape. On the side of its face intended to be in contact with the portion 15B in the closed configuration of the body 15, the portion 15A defines a housing 38A which represents in the example described half of the housing 32.

Comme visible sur la figure 2, la partie 15A comprend, successivement de l'intérieur du corps 15 vers l'extérieur, une coque interne 40A, un bloc de calage 42A, et une couche externe 44A.As visible on the figure 2 the portion 15A comprises, successively from the inside of the body 15 towards the outside, an inner shell 40A, a blocking block 42A, and an outer layer 44A.

Par ailleurs, la partie 15A comporte avantageusement une encoche 46A configurée pour faciliter l'ouverture du corps 15 en coopération avec une encoche 46B symétrique de la partie 15B.Furthermore, the portion 15A advantageously comprises a notch 46A configured to facilitate the opening of the body 15 in cooperation with a notch 46B symmetrical of the portion 15B.

La coque interne 40A épouse sensiblement l'objet 5 et un bord périphérique 48 de l'embase 30. La coque interne 40A est par exemple en polystyrène, avantageusement en sweetylène, ou en acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ou ABS), ou est réalisée dans toute autre matière adaptée pour prévenir l'apparition de rayures sur l'objet 5 et/ou participer à sa protection contre des chocs ou l'intrusion d'objets contondants dans le bloc de calage 42A.The inner shell 40A substantially matches the object 5 and a peripheral edge 48 of the base 30. The inner shell 40A is for example polystyrene, preferably made of sweetylene, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (or ABS), or is made in any another material adapted to prevent the appearance of scratches on the object 5 and / or participate in its protection against shocks or intrusion of blunt objects in the blocking block 42A.

Le bloc de calage 42A est une structure alvéolaire ou en mousse adaptée pour recevoir d'un côté, par exemple selon la direction T2, la coque 40A, et pour s'emboîter de l'autre côté dans la couche externe 44A.The blocking block 42A is a honeycomb or foam structure adapted to receive on one side, for example in the direction T2, the shell 40A, and to fit on the other side in the outer layer 44A.

Le bord 36A définit un épaulement 50A adapté pour coopérer avec un épaulement 52 du bord périphérique 48 de l'embase 30 de manière à empêcher un déboîtement de l'embase selon la direction d'appui D.The edge 36A defines a shoulder 50A adapted to cooperate with a shoulder 52 of the peripheral edge 48 of the base 30 so as to prevent disengagement of the base in the support direction D.

L'embase 30 définit une partie de la face inférieure 24 (figure 3) du corps 15. L'embase 30 est, dans l'exemple représenté, distincte des deux parties 15A, 15B.The base 30 defines a portion of the lower face 24 ( figure 3 ) of the body 15. The base 30 is, in the example shown, separate from the two parts 15A, 15B.

L'embase 30 est adaptée pour reposer sur la surface S et pour supporter l'intégralité du poids de l'objet 5 lorsque le corps 15 est dans la configuration ouverte (figure 4).The base 30 is adapted to rest on the surface S and to support the entire weight of the object 5 when the body 15 is in the open configuration ( figure 4 ).

L'embase 30 forme avantageusement un piédestal de l'objet 5 dans la configuration ouverte. Par exemple, en vue selon la direction d'appui D, l'embase 30 se situe intégralement à l'intérieur du logement 32.The base 30 advantageously forms a pedestal of the object 5 in the open configuration. For example, in view in the support direction D, the base 30 is located entirely inside the housing 32.

L'embase 30 définit un logement de stockage 54 propre à recevoir par exemple un cordon (non représenté) d'alimentation électrique de l'objet 5.The base 30 defines a storage housing 54 capable of receiving, for example, a cord (not shown) for powering the object 5.

Le fonctionnement de l'emballage 10 se déduit facilement de sa structure et va maintenant être décrit.The operation of the package 10 is easily deduced from its structure and will now be described.

A l'état emballé, l'objet 5 se présente sous la forme de l'ensemble 1 représenté sur la figure 1. L'ensemble 1 est par exemple placé sur la surface S, qui est avantageusement la surface supérieure d'une table ou d'un présentoir.In the packaged state, the object 5 is in the form of the assembly 1 shown in FIG. figure 1 . The assembly 1 is for example placed on the surface S, which is advantageously the upper surface of a table or a display.

Pour déballer l'objet 5, dans un premier temps l'organe 20 est retiré. Par exemple, on fait glisser le corps 15, qui est dans la configuration fermée, par rapport à l'organe 20 selon la direction T2. On obtient alors le corps 15 tel que représenté sur la figure 3, l'objet 5 étant dans le logement 32 à l'intérieur du corps 15.To unpack the object 5, initially the member 20 is removed. For example, the body 15, which is in the closed configuration, is slid with respect to the member 20 in the direction T2. We then obtain the body 15 as represented on the figure 3 , the object 5 being in the housing 32 inside the body 15.

La face inférieure 24 du corps 15 repose alors sur la surface S.The lower face 24 of the body 15 then rests on the surface S.

Dans un deuxième temps, un opérateur (non représenté) fait passer le corps 15 de la configuration fermée représentée sur la figure 3 à la configuration ouverte représentée sur la figure 4. L'opérateur fait pivoter les parties 15A, 15B l'une par rapport à l'autre autour de l'axe C.In a second step, an operator (not shown) passes the body 15 of the closed configuration represented on the figure 3 to the open configuration represented on the figure 4 . The operator rotates the portions 15A, 15B relative to each other about the C axis.

Les deux parties 15A, 15B se déplacent alors l'une par rapport à l'autre selon une trajectoire sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'appui D. Plus précisément, elles pivotent autour de l'axe C selon les flèches FA et FB représentées sur les figures 3 et 4. Les faces inférieures des parties 15A, 15B glissent sur la surface S et libèrent l'embase 30 et l'objet 5.The two parts 15A, 15B then move relative to each other in a path substantially perpendicular to the bearing direction D. More precisely, they pivot about the axis C according to the arrows FA and FB represented on the figures 3 and 4 . The lower faces of the parts 15A, 15B slide on the surface S and release the base 30 and the object 5.

L'objet 5 repose alors « en majesté » sur l'embase 30 qui forme un piédestal de l'objet.The object 5 then rests "in majesty" on the base 30 which forms a pedestal of the object.

Il est alors possible pour l'opérateur de saisir l'objet 5 selon la direction d'accès A représentée sur la figure 4 et de le retirer de l'embase 30 pour éventuellement le poser ailleurs.It is then possible for the operator to enter the object 5 according to the direction of access A represented on the figure 4 and remove it from the base 30 to possibly put it elsewhere.

La poignée 22 permet de placer l'ensemble 1 facilement.The handle 22 makes it easy to place the assembly 1.

Dans la configuration fermée, l'embase 30 joue le rôle d'un fond et ne se déboîte pas grâce aux épaulements 50A, 52.In the closed configuration, the base 30 acts as a bottom and does not break through the shoulders 50A, 52.

Pour emballer l'objet 5, les opérations inverses sont réalisées. L'embase 30 est posée sur la surface S. L'objet 5 est posé sur l'embase 30.To package the object 5, reverse operations are performed. The base 30 is placed on the surface S. The object 5 is placed on the base 30.

Les parties 15A, 15B sont apportées à proximité et refermées l'une sur l'autre de manière à entourer l'objet 5 et l'embase 30, jusqu'à l'obtention de la configuration fermée du corps 15.The portions 15A, 15B are brought close and closed one on the other so as to surround the object 5 and the base 30, until the closed configuration of the body 15 is obtained.

L'organe 20 est ensuite replacé de telle manière qu'il solidarise les deux parties 15A, 15B dans la configuration fermée. L'ensemble 1 est à nouveau facilement transportable.The member 20 is then replaced so that it secures the two parts 15A, 15B in the closed configuration. Set 1 is again easily transportable.

Grâce aux caractéristiques ci-dessus, l'emballage 10 rend aisées les opérations de déballage de l'objet 5, ainsi que son réemballage éventuel.With the above features, the package 10 makes easy the unpacking operations of the object 5, and its possible repackaging.

En outre, dans la configuration ouverte du corps 15, l'emballage 10 permet d'exposer l'objet 5 à la vue de tous, l'objet reposant sur l'embase 30.In addition, in the open configuration of the body 15, the package 10 makes it possible to expose the object 5 in the view of all, the object resting on the base 30.
