La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une bobine comportant une bande de papier imprimée enroulée sur elle-même. La bande de papier présente des portions successives longitudinalement destinées à devenir, une fois découpées, des notices d'utilisation d'un produit pharmaceutique ou cosmétique.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a reel comprising a strip of printed paper wound on itself. The paper strip has successive portions longitudinally intended to become, once cut, instructions for use of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic product.

L'invention concerne aussi un procédé d'obtention des notices elles-mêmes, et un procédé d'insertion des notices dans une boîte contenant le produit pharmaceutique ou cosmétique.The invention also relates to a process for obtaining the records themselves, and a method for inserting the notices in a box containing the pharmaceutical or cosmetic product.

L'invention concerne aussi la bobine et la notice correspondantes, ainsi que l'ensemble comportant la boîte, le produit et une telle notice insérée dans la boîte.The invention also relates to the corresponding coil and the notice, as well as the assembly comprising the box, the product and such a notice inserted in the box.

Il est connu de réaliser des notices en pliant longitudinalement une bande de papier de manière à obtenir des volets qui se superposent. Il est également connu d'ajouter des volets ou des feuillets par collage. L'ensemble obtenu est en général plié transversalement pour obtenir une notice pliée. La notice est ensuite insérée dans la boîte.It is known to make records by longitudinally folding a strip of paper so as to obtain overlapping flaps. It is also known to add flaps or sheets by gluing. The assembly obtained is generally folded transversely to obtain a folded note. The record is then inserted into the box.

Toutefois, l'insertion s'avère parfois délicate à réaliser, notamment lorsque les notices ont un grand format ou comportent un grand nombre de feuillets.However, the insertion is sometimes difficult to achieve, especially when the records have a large format or have a large number of sheets.

Un but de l'invention est donc de remédier à cet inconvénient, c'est-à-dire en particulier de fournir un procédé de fabrication d'une bobine ou d'une notice, tel que l'insertion de la notice soit plus aisée.An object of the invention is therefore to overcome this drawback, that is to say in particular to provide a method of manufacturing a reel or a record, such that the insertion of the record is easier .

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un procédé selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a method according to claim 1.

En référence aux figures, on décrit un procédé de fabrication selon l'invention (figure 1), ainsi qu'une bobine B2 selon l'invention (figure 6), une notice N (figures 7 et 8), et un ensemble 1 selon l'invention (figure 8).With reference to the figures, a manufacturing method according to the invention is described ( figure 1 ), and a coil B2 according to the invention ( figure 6 ), a notice N ( figures 7 and 8 ), and a set 1 according to the invention ( figure 8 ).

Comme visible sur la figure 1, le procédé comprend une étape 10 d'obtention d'une bobine B1 représentée sur la figure 2.As visible on the figure 1 the method comprises a step 10 of obtaining a coil B1 represented on the figure 2 .

La bobine B1 comprend une bande de papier 12. La bande de papier 12 est imprimée et s'étend, lorsqu'elle est dépliée, selon une direction longitudinale L. La bande de papier 12 comporte des portions 12A, 12B, 12C... successives longitudinalement, dont trois seulement sont représentées sur la figure 2 par commodité.The reel B1 comprises a paper web 12. The paper web 12 is printed and extends, when unfolded, in a longitudinal direction L. The paper web 12 has portions 12A, 12B, 12C ... longitudinally, of which only three are represented on the figure 2 for convenience.

On définit également une direction d'épaisseur E de de la bande de papier 12 perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale L, et une direction transversale T perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale L et à la direction d'épaisseur E.It also defines a direction of thickness E of the paper web 12 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, and a transverse direction T perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and to the thickness direction E.

La bobine B1 est par exemple obtenue en déroulant une bande de papier (non représentée), en imprimant la bande de papier déroulée, puis en bobinant la bande de papier imprimée.The coil B1 is for example obtained by unwinding a strip of paper (not shown), by printing the unwound paper web, then by winding the printed paper web.

Les portions 12A, 12B, 12C sont destinées à devenir des notices N telles que celle représentée sur les figures 7 et 8.The portions 12A, 12B, 12C are intended to become N-records such as that shown in the figures 7 and 8 .

Le procédé comprend ensuite une étape 20 de déroulement de la bande de papier 12 et une étape 30 de pliage illustrée sur la figure 3.The method then comprises a step of unwinding the paper web 12 and a folding step illustrated on the figure 3 .

A l'issue de l'étape 20 de déroulement, on obtient la bande de papier 12 telle que représentée en partie gauche de la figure 3. On comprend que les étapes 10 et 20 d'obtention de la bobine B1 et de déroulement sont optionnelles. En variante, on pourrait partir directement de la bande de papier 12 imprimée.At the end of the unwinding step 20, the paper strip 12 as shown in the left-hand part of FIG. figure 3 . It is understood that the steps 10 and 20 for obtaining the coil B1 and unwinding are optional. Alternatively, one could leave directly the printed paper strip 12.

Le pliage de l'étape 30 se fait selon au moins deux plis longitudinaux 32 pour obtenir une bande de papier pliée 34.The folding of step 30 is done in at least two longitudinal folds 32 to obtain a folded paper strip 34.

Comme visible sur les figures 3 et 4, la bande de papier pliée 34 comprend une portion principale 36, et deux volets 38 simples. La bande de papier pliée 34 comprend aussi une zone intermédiaire 39 située transversalement entre les volets 38 et ne comportant qu'une seule épaisseur de papier.As visible on Figures 3 and 4 , the folded paper strip 34 comprises a main portion 36, and two single flaps 38. The folded paper web 34 also includes an intermediate zone 39 located transversely between the flaps 38 and having only one paper thickness.

Les plis longitudinaux 32 forment deux bords transversalement opposés de la bande de papier pliée 34.The longitudinal folds 32 form two transversely opposite edges of the folded paper web 34.

Les volets 38 ne recouvrent pas la zone intermédiaire 39.The flaps 38 do not cover the intermediate zone 39.

Les volets 38 sont « simples » en ce sens qu'ils ne comportent qu'une seule épaisseur de papier.The flaps 38 are "simple" in that they comprise only one paper thickness.

Selon une variante représentée sur la figure 5, les volets 38 sont multiples, par exemple en raison de la présence de plis longitudinaux supplémentaires 32A.According to a variant represented on the figure 5 flaps 38 are multiple, for example due to the presence of additional longitudinal folds 32A.

Les volets 38 sont rabattus contre la portion principale 36 et sont avantageusement situés du même côté de la portion principale selon la direction d'épaisseur E.The flaps 38 are folded against the main portion 36 and are advantageously located on the same side of the main portion in the direction of thickness E.

Selon une variante non représentée, l'un des volets 38 est repliée de l'autre côté de la portion principale 36.According to a variant not shown, one of the flaps 38 is folded over the other side of the main portion 36.

La zone intermédiaire 39 est avantageusement située à égale distance des bords formés par les plis longitudinaux 32. La zone intermédiaire 39 présente par exemple une largueur E1 constante selon la direction transversale T.The intermediate zone 39 is advantageously located equidistant from the edges formed by the longitudinal folds 32. The intermediate zone 39 has for example a width E1 constant in the transverse direction T.

Puis le procédé comprend une étape d'enroulement de la bande de papier pliée 34 pour obtenir la bobine B2 de bande pliée représentée sur la figure 6. Les caractéristiques structurelles de la bobine B2 se déduisent de celles de la bande de papier pliée 34 représentée sur les figures 3 et 4.Then the method includes a step of winding the folded paper web 34 to obtain the folded tape reel B2 shown in FIG. figure 6 . The structural characteristics of the coil B2 are deduced from those of the folded paper strip 34 shown in FIGS. Figures 3 and 4 .

Optionnellement, le procédé comprend une étape 50 de déroulement de la bobine B2 pour obtenir un ruban 52 (figure 6) et une étape 60 de découpage transversal pour obtenir la notice N (figure 7).Optionally, the method comprises a step 50 of unwinding the coil B2 to obtain a ribbon 52 ( figure 6 ) and a step 60 of transversal cutting to obtain the record N ( figure 7 ).

Le découpage se fait selon la direction transversale T à intervalles réguliers pour isoler les portions 12A, 12B, 12C... successives déjà mentionnées et obtenir une pluralité de notices analogues à la notice N représentée.The cutting is done in the transverse direction T at regular intervals to isolate the portions 12A, 12B, 12C ... successive already mentioned and obtain a plurality of records similar to the record N shown.

Toujours optionnellement, le procédé comprend une étape 70 de pliage selon une ou plusieurs lignes 72 sensiblement parallèles à la direction transversale T. Le pliage définit plusieurs pans 74 de bande pliée.Still optionally, the method comprises a step 70 of folding along one or more lines 72 substantially parallel to the transverse direction T. The folding defines several sections 74 of folded strip.

Le pliage transversal permet de superposer les pans 74 comme représenté sur la figure 8.The transverse folding makes it possible to superimpose the panels 74 as shown in FIG. figure 8 .

La superposition fait que l'épaisseur de la zone intermédiaire 39 est multipliée par le nombre de pans 74, mais reste inférieure à celle des volets 38 repliés sur eux-mêmes.The superposition makes the thickness of the intermediate zone 39 is multiplied by the number of sections 74, but remains lower than that of the flaps 38 folded on themselves.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la zone intermédiaire 39 comporte une épaisseur de papier qui est la moitié de celle des volets 38.In the example shown, the intermediate zone 39 has a thickness of paper which is half that of the flaps 38.

Le procédé comprend enfin une étape 80 optionnelle d'insertion de la notice N dans une boîte 82 à l'aide d'un produit pharmaceutique 84, afin d'obtenir l'ensemble 1 (non représenté, mais qui se déduit de la figure 8 par insertion de la notice N et du produit 84 dans la boîte 82).The method finally comprises an optional step 80 for inserting the N-note into a box 82 with the aid of a pharmaceutical product 84, in order to obtain the set 1 (not shown, but which is deduced from FIG. figure 8 by inserting the N-note and the product 84 into the box 82).

Par produit 84 pharmaceutique ou cosmétique, on entend ici un ou plusieurs produits conditionnés, par exemple sous la forme d'une ou plusieurs plaquettes 85 alvéolée(s) comportant des comprimés 86. En variante, le produit 84 est un sachet, un tube, ou tout conteneur connu en soi d'un médicament ou d'un produit cosmétique.By pharmaceutical or cosmetic product is meant here one or more packaged products, for example in the form of one or more blister packs (85) comprising tablets 86. Alternatively, the product 84 is a sachet, a tube, or any container known per se of a drug or a cosmetic product.

Comme représenté sur la figure 8, la notice N est insérée dans la boîte 82 en déplaçant le produit 84 par rapport à la boîte 82 selon une flèche F1, avantageusement selon la direction d'épaisseur E. Ceci a pour effet de faire fléchir la notice N selon un axe de flexion F sensiblement longitudinal et situé dans la zone intermédiaire 39. La notice N, une fois fléchie entoure partiellement le produit 84.As shown on the figure 8 , the record N is inserted into the box 82 by moving the product 84 relative to the box 82 according to an arrow F1, preferably in the direction of thickness E. This has the effect of bending the record N along a bending axis F substantially longitudinal and located in the intermediate zone 39. The notice N, once inflected partially surrounds the product 84.

La zone intermédiaire 39 étant moins épaisse (contenant moins de papier dans le sens de l'épaisseur), elle fléchit facilement.The intermediate zone 39 being less thick (containing less paper in the direction of the thickness), it flexes easily.

Ainsi, grâce aux caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus, le procédé de fabrication est tel que l'insertion de la notice est plus aisée.Thus, thanks to the characteristics described above, the manufacturing process is such that the insertion of the record is easier.

L'emplacement de la zone intermédiaire 39 et sa largeur E1 sont avantageusement adaptés en fonction de la nature du produit 84 pharmaceutique ou cosmétique.The location of the intermediate zone 39 and its width E1 are advantageously adapted according to the nature of the pharmaceutical or cosmetic product.
