Description

La présente invention se situe dans le domaine des emballages de conditionnement de produits alimentaires, lesquels comportent classiquement un contenant et un couvercle indépendant de structure spécifique, rendant possible le fait qu'ils sont préférentiellement réalisés en deux matériaux différents.The present invention is in the field of food packaging packaging, which conventionally comprise a container and an independent cover of specific structure, making it possible that they are preferably made of two different materials.

Cette spécificité peut conduire à des contraintes particulières de conception/fabrication liées aux propriétés notamment mécaniques et structurelles distinctes des matériaux. Celles-ci sont susceptibles d'influer sur la structure du conditionnement en général, mais plus particulièrement encore sur le système de fermeture qui les lie, qui concentre des problématiques spécifiques.This specificity can lead to particular design / manufacturing constraints related to the particular mechanical and structural properties of the materials. These are likely to influence the structure of packaging in general, but more particularly on the closure system that binds them, which focuses on specific issues.

Les enjeux et avantages de l'utilisation d'un double matériau sont divers, allant de la simplification des formes à l'exploitation des possibilités par exemple graphiques propres à un matériau en passant par l'amélioration des critères environnementaux.The issues and advantages of using a dual material are diverse, ranging from the simplification of forms to the exploitation of the possibilities for example graphs specific to a material through the improvement of environmental criteria.

Parmi les boîtes de conditionnement de produits alimentaires à couvercle séparé, les systèmes de fermeture sont dans nombre de cas à clipsage, par exemple de type à plots coopérant avec des logements. Dans l'hypothèse d'un boîtier à charnière, l'existence de cette dernière le long d'un des côtés peut avoir un impact sur la conception des systèmes de fermeture placés sur le côté opposé, les déplacements relatifs couvercle/charnière étant dans ce cas imposés.Among the food packaging boxes with separate lid, the closure systems are in many cases clipping, for example of the type cooperating with housing blocks. In the case of a hinged box, the existence of the latter on one side may have an impact on the design of the closure systems placed on the opposite side, the relative hinge / lid movements being in this case. imposed cases.

Dans l'hypothèse d'un couvercle indépendant, l'obturation de l'emballage nécessite une mise en oeuvre précise et complexe, alors que cela peut être un enjeu important de conception. Il en est de même pour assurer une facilité de manipulation au verrouillage/déverrouillage, les formes les plus simples et les plus économiques à fabriquer n'étant à cet égard pas toujours les plus aisées à contrôler. Pour les mécanismes à charnière, le positionnement des moyens de fixation peut dépendre de la précision de fabrication de la charnière, et les mêmes problématiques relatives à la facilité d'ouverture/fermeture, voire à la complétude de l'obturation, se posent souvent. Sans même mentionner le fait qu'avec ces solutions à charnière, la possibilité de l'utilisation de deux matériaux distincts est exclue dans la plupart des cas, sauf conception nécessairement plus complexe.In the case of an independent lid, the closure of the packaging requires a precise and complex implementation, while it may be an issue important design. It is the same to ensure ease of manipulation to lock / unlock, the simplest forms and the most economical to manufacture being in this respect not always the easiest to control. For hinge mechanisms, the positioning of the fastening means may depend on the manufacturing accuracy of the hinge, and the same problems relating to the ease of opening / closing, or even the completeness of the closure, are often encountered. Without even mentioning the fact that with these hinged solutions, the possibility of using two different materials is excluded in most cases, except design necessarily more complex.

Avec l'avènement des questions environnementales et/ou des attentes des utilisateurs, et l'incidence croissante qu'elles prennent dans les processus de conception utilisés dans le monde de l'emballage alimentaire, la mixité des matériaux apporte des réponses nouvelles.With the advent of environmental issues and / or user expectations, and the increasing impact they are having on the design processes used in the food packaging world, the mix of materials brings new answers.

Or, les matériaux plus favorablement considérés à l'aune des préoccupations environnementales ne sont pas toujours aussi faciles à travailler, à configurer et à transformer que le plastique pour aboutir à un produit fini satisfaisant aux nombreuses problématiques à prendre en compte dans les emballages alimentaires, y compris liées aux habitudes des consommateurs. Surtout, les opérations de fabrication ne sont pas nécessairement économiquement aussi favorables. Les concepteurs sont donc confrontés à une double problématique combinée de faisabilité technique et de prix.However, materials more favorably considered in the light of environmental concerns are not always as easy to work, configure and transform as plastic to achieve a finished product satisfying the many issues to consider in food packaging, including related to consumer habits. Above all, manufacturing operations are not necessarily economically as favorable. Designers are therefore faced with a dual problem of combined technical feasibility and price.

L'emballage de l'invention présente à cet égard un bon compromis entre d'une part la simplicité de la conception, et ses conséquences relativement aux coûts de production, et d'autre part l'ouverture aux questions environnementales pouvant résulter de l'utilisation de deux matériaux. Ce double usage permet de déplacer le curseur entre deux positionnements extrêmes respectivement écologique et économique.In this respect, the packaging of the invention presents a good compromise between the simplicity of the design and its cost implications. of production, and on the other hand the openness to environmental issues that may result from the use of two materials. This dual use makes it possible to move the cursor between two extreme positions respectively ecological and economic.

De fait, l'emballage de conditionnement de produits alimentaires de l'invention, à base de deux éléments, un contenant à fond et paroi périphérique et un couvercle indépendant, est d'abord tel que le couvercle est plat et comporte des bords libres présentant globalement une correspondance de forme avec le contenant en vue de l'obturer en une position stable de fermeture du couvercle. Selon l'invention, des moyens de solidarisation du couvercle au contenant sont prévus au moins dans les zones angulaires de l'emballage.In fact, the packaging of food products of the invention, based on two elements, a container with bottom and peripheral wall and an independent lid, is first such that the lid is flat and has free edges with overall form correspondence with the container to close it in a stable position of closure of the lid. According to the invention, means for securing the lid to the container are provided at least in the angular areas of the package.

Cet apport de moyens de solidarisations spécifiques à des localisations déterminées distingue l'emballage de l'invention par rapport à ce qui se fait en général dans ce domaine, à savoir une fixation du couvercle sur le reste du contenant par simple ajustement des formes périphériques sur toute la périphérie. C'est par exemple ce qui est montré dans le document WO 2011/082486 , qui ne présente par conséquent pas de solution munie de zones de fixations spécifiques mais décrit au contraire une configuration à géométrie circulaire avec clipsage du couvercle identique sur tout le pourtour circulaire de l'emballage.This contribution of securing means specific to specific locations distinguishes the packaging of the invention compared to what is generally done in this field, namely a fixing of the lid on the rest of the container by simply adjusting the peripheral shapes on the whole periphery. This is for example what is shown in the document WO 2011/082486 , which therefore does not present a solution with specific fixing areas but instead describes a configuration with circular geometry with clipping of the same cover all around the circular periphery of the package.

Le caractère plan du couvercle le rend facile et économique à fabriquer, en un nombre minimal d'opérations. Les formes relatives d'une part des bords libres du couvercle, incluant les contours externes et les bordures des éventuels orifices internes, et d'autre part des éléments et surfaces avec lesquels ces bords sont prévus pour coopérer, rendent l'obturabilité parfaitement maîtrisable, jusqu'à une fermeture complète si besoin.The flatness of the lid makes it easy and economical to manufacture in a minimum number of operations. The relative forms on the one hand of the free edges of the lid, including the external contours and the edges of any internal orifices, and on the other hand elements and surfaces with which these edges are provided to cooperate, make the shutter perfectly controllable, until a complete closure if necessary.

De préférence, le couvercle peut être au moins partiellement mais principalement en carton, et le contenant peut être au moins partiellement mais principalement en plastique. Le contenant peut être également partiellement mais principalement en matériaux bio-sourcés. Les deux matériaux choisis sont donc très différents en termes tant de propriétés mécaniques que de qualité environnementale, et les associer peut dès lors susciter des problématiques spécifiques.Preferably, the lid may be at least partially but mainly made of cardboard, and the container may be at least partially but mainly made of plastic. The container may also be partially but mainly in bio-sourced materials. The two materials chosen are therefore very different in terms of both mechanical properties and environmental quality, and associating them can therefore raise specific issues.

Pour s'adapter aux contraintes de fixation qui résultent par exemple de la planéité du couvercle en carton, les moyens de solidarisation peuvent comporter des gorges de réception et d'appui du couvercle situées au voisinage d'un rebord supérieur de la paroi périphérique, lesdites gorges étant délimitées par une portion de la paroi du contenant, un fond et un muret intérieur, le couvercle présentant alors des ouvertures s'ajustant autour des murets.In order to adapt to the fastening stresses resulting, for example, from the flatness of the cardboard cover, the securing means may comprise grooves for receiving and supporting the cover situated in the vicinity of an upper edge of the peripheral wall, said grooves being delimited by a portion of the wall of the container, a bottom and an interior wall, the cover then having openings fitting around the walls.

Outre le contour extérieur du couvercle qui permet un premier guidage dans le contenant, au voisinage de son rebord extérieur, le couvercle présente donc des passages pour des éléments de fixation intérieurs, en l'occurrence les murets des gorges dans lesquels il prend appui, qui constituent des protubérances internes au contenant. Selon le degré d'ajustement des formes du couvercle et du contenant, la fermeture de l'emballage peut être plus ou moins complète, le degré d'obturation étant choisi en fonction des aliments à emballer.In addition to the outer contour of the cover which allows a first guide in the container, in the vicinity of its outer edge, the cover thus has passages for internal fasteners, in this case the walls of the grooves in which it bears, which constitute internal protuberances in the container. Depending on the degree of adjustment of the shapes of the lid and the container, the closure of the package may be more or less complete, the degree of closure being chosen according to the food to be packaged.

Pour qu'une fixation effective du couvercle sur le contenant puisse avoir lieu, en quelque sorte un verrouillage de l'un à l'autre, la portion de paroi délimitant l'extérieur de la gorge peut comporter au moins une contre-dépouille, située sensiblement au niveau du débouché supérieur de la gorge, et limitant sur au moins une partie de sa longueur ledit débouché.For effective fixing of the lid on the container can take place, somehow a interlocking from one to the other, the wall portion defining the outside of the groove may comprise at least one undercut, located substantially at the upper outlet of the groove, and limiting on at least a portion of its length said outlet.

Cette caractéristique permet un clipsage du couvercle dans les gorges du contenant, possible notamment du fait des propriétés respectives des matériaux, en particulier de leurs élasticités respectives. La déformabilité du carton est à cet égard parfaitement adaptée, même si son élasticité est moindre que celle du plastique.This feature allows a clipping of the lid into the grooves of the container, possible in particular because of the respective properties of the materials, in particular their respective elasticities. The deformability of the cardboard is in this respect perfectly adapted, even if its elasticity is less than that of the plastic.

Pour le même objectif, et à titre d'alternative ou pour compléter la solidarisation de l'un à l'autre, la face du muret délimitant l'intérieur de la gorge peut aussi comporter au moins une contre-dépouille, située au voisinage du débouché supérieur de ladite gorge, et limitant sur au moins une partie de sa longueur ledit débouché. Le clipsage peut donc être activé sur l'une, l'autre ou encore les deux faces en regard de la gorge.For the same purpose, and as an alternative or to complete the joining of one to the other, the face of the wall defining the interior of the groove may also include at least one undercut, located in the vicinity of upper outlet of said groove, and limiting on at least a portion of its length said outlet. The clipping can be activated on one or the other or both sides facing the throat.

De tels emballages étant largement utilisés par exemple dans la grande distribution, il est évidemment primordial que la fermeture offre des garanties de fiabilité et de sécurité. L'emballage de l'invention, au travers des moyens de solidarisation évoqués auparavant, est précisément conçu pour éviter que le couvercle ne se détache intempestivement du contenant lors de manipulations des emballages.Such packaging being widely used, for example, in supermarkets, it is obviously essential that the closure offers guarantees of reliability and safety. The packaging of the invention, through the joining means mentioned above, is precisely designed to prevent the lid from coming off unexpectedly from the container during handling of the packaging.

Bien qu'un tel choix de forme ne soit évidemment pas limitatif au sens de l'invention, les zones angulaires de l'emballage ont été prévues de préférence arrondies, de même que les gorges et les murets, qui couvrent alors des secteurs angulaires de l'ordre de 90°. Les murets sont d'allure parallèle aux portions de parois qui leur font face. Outre des critères purement esthétiques une telle structure arrondie présente des avantages en termes de fabrication.Although such a choice of shape is obviously not limiting within the meaning of the invention, the angular zones of the packaging have been preferably provided rounded, as well as the grooves and walls, which then cover angular sectors of the order of 90 °. The walls are parallel to the wall portions that face. In addition to purely aesthetic criteria such a rounded structure has advantages in terms of manufacturing.

Un plot par exemple rond pourrait alternativement équiper les coins arrondis, à l'intérieur du contenant, et remplacer le muret.A stud for example round could alternatively equip the rounded corners, inside the container, and replace the wall.

Le couvercle étant ajusté à l'intérieur du contenant lorsqu'il y est solidarisé, et n'offrant guère de prise du fait de son caractère plat, il peut comporter au moins une languette de préhension repliée en direction de la bordure supérieure de la paroi périphérique lorsque le couvercle obture le contenant. Cette languette permet de faciliter l'extraction du couvercle. Alternativement, le couvercle peut comporter au moins une encoche de préhension pratiquée sur un bord, ou encore au moins un orifice de préhension pratiqué dans sa surface, permettant à l'utilisateur de disposer d'une accroche en vue de le retirer.The lid being fitted inside the container when it is secured to it, and offering little grip because of its flat nature, it may comprise at least one gripping tongue folded towards the upper edge of the wall device when the lid closes the container. This tongue makes it easier to extract the lid. Alternatively, the cover may comprise at least one gripping notch made on an edge, or at least one gripping orifice made in its surface, allowing the user to have a catch for the purpose of removing it.

Le couvercle peut par ailleurs comporter au moins une fenêtre recouverte d'un film transparent, permettant de visualiser de dessus le contenu de l'emballage. Ledit film peut de plus comporter des perforations ou des micro-perforations, en vue de gérer d'éventuels échanges gazeux entre l'intérieur de l'emballage fermé et l'atmosphère extérieure. Le nombre et l'emplacement des perforations sont faciles à modifier, y compris le cas échéant in situ, de manière bien plus souple que dans la plupart des emballages connus, par exemple en plastique, pour lesquels des ouvertures sont prévues très en amont, au moment de la conception de l'emballage.The cover may further comprise at least one window covered with a transparent film, for viewing from above the contents of the package. Said film may further comprise perforations or micro-perforations, in order to manage any gas exchange between the inside of the closed package and the outside atmosphere. The number and location of the perforations are easy to modify, including if necessary in situ, much more flexible than in most known packaging, for example plastic, for which openings are provided very upstream, the timing of the packaging design.

Dans l'hypothèse de l'utilisation de films micro-perforés poreux à certains gaz, la finesse de gestion des échanges gazeux permise est sans commune mesure avec ce que permettaient les ouvertures de ventilation standard. Les caractéristiques de ces films peuvent au surplus être sélectionnées à l'avance en fonction des utilisations ultérieures de l'emballage, en particulier en fonction des aliments prévus pour être emballés. Il est en pratique tout à fait possible de jouer sur la perméabilité sélective des matériaux utilisés pour ces films transparents.In the hypothesis of the use of porous micro-perforated films with certain gases, the fineness of management of gas exchanges allowed is incommensurate with what was allowed by the standard ventilation openings. The characteristics of these films can moreover be selected in advance according to the subsequent uses of the packaging, in particular according to the food intended to be packaged. It is in practice quite possible to play on the selective permeability of the materials used for these transparent films.

Pour optimiser et privilégier les qualités environnementales du produit, ce film recouvrant la fenêtre du couvercle peut de plus être réalisé en papier transparent, c'est-à-dire en un matériau fabriqué à partir d'une base cellulosique. Le film peut également être réalisé en un matériau plastique. Le film peut aussi être réalisé en un matériau bio-sourcé en tout ou partie.In order to optimize and privilege the environmental qualities of the product, this film covering the window of the lid can also be made of transparent paper, that is to say of a material made from a cellulosic base. The film can also be made of a plastic material. The film can also be made of a bio-sourced material in whole or in part.

Dans un registre équivalent visant à réaliser ou améliorer la ventilation, les bords extérieurs du couvercle peuvent présenter des portions crénelées ou ondulées, de manière à ménager des passages de gaz dans les deux sens. L'importance des voies de passage est également à prévoir selon la nature des aliments à emballer. Compte tenu que le couvercle est de fait un simple flan de carton prédécoupé, fabriquer et modifier le contour pour y inclure de telles portions ondulées, crénelée ou équivalent, est très simple et économiquement pratiquement sans incidence sur le coût final du produit.In an equivalent register to achieve or improve the ventilation, the outer edges of the lid may have crenellated or corrugated portions, so as to provide gas passages in both directions. The importance of the passageways is also to be expected depending on the nature of the food to be packaged. Given that the lid is in fact a simple blank of pre-cut cardboard, making and modifying the outline to include such corrugated portions, crenellated or equivalent, is very simple and economically practically without affecting the final cost of the product.

Le couvercle de l'invention peut par ailleurs présenter au moins une zone imprimée, qui peut se trouver sur sa face supérieure visible de l'extérieur de l'emballage, sur l'autre ou encore sur les deux faces.The cover of the invention may also have at least one printed area, which may be on its upper face visible from the outside of the package, on the other or on both sides.

Cette possibilité permet de tirer parti des caractéristiques du carton à cet égard, dont l'excellente imprimabilité permet de se passer, au cours de la production, de la fabrication et de la pose distinctes d'une ou plusieurs étiquettes. Elle améliore de plus sensiblement les possibilités de communication liées au conditionnement, celles-ci devenant virtuellement infinies, susceptibles d'utiliser des textes, des photos, des illustrations diverses, en noir et blanc, en niveaux de gris ou en couleur.This possibility makes it possible to take advantage of characteristics of the carton in this respect, excellent printability of which can be dispensed with, during the production, manufacture and laying of separate one or more labels. It also improves the communication possibilities linked to packaging, which become virtually infinite, and can use texts, photos, various illustrations, in black and white, grayscale or color.

Le couvercle peut de plus présenter au moins un orifice de ventilation, en sus des perforations ou micro-perforations appliquées au film.The cover may further have at least one ventilation port, in addition to perforations or micro-perforations applied to the film.

En vue de profiter des qualités spécifiques à certains cartons en matière environnementale, il est possible de réaliser le couvercle de l'emballage de l'invention à partir de matériaux bio-sourcés.In order to take advantage of the specific qualities of certain cartons in environmental matters, it is possible to make the lid of the packaging of the invention from bio-sourced materials.

Le contenant de l'emballage de l'invention peut pour les mêmes raisons être réalisé à partir de matériaux bio-sourcés.The container of the packaging of the invention can for the same reasons be made from bio-sourced materials.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite plus en détail, en référence à un exemple possible non limitatif de l'invention, au moyen des figures annexées, pour lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du couvercle de l'emballage de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue également en perspective du contenant ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue de dessus dudit contenant ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe partielle du contenant à proximité du rebord supérieur, et au niveau d'une des gorges angulaires ; et
  • la figure 5 montre, en vue en perspective, une variante de forme pour le couvercle.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to a possible non-limiting example of the invention, by means of the appended figures, for which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of the lid of the package of the invention;
  • the figure 2 is also a perspective view of the container;
  • the figure 3 represents a view from above of said container;
  • the figure 4 is a partial sectional view of the container near the upper rim, and at one of the angular grooves; and
  • the figure 5 shows, in perspective view, a shape variant for the lid.

En se référant à la figure 1, le couvercle 10 est plan et comporte, dans ses secteurs angulaires arrondis, des ouvertures 11 qui sont d'ailleurs d'allure parallèle aux arrondis desdits secteurs angulaires. Ces ouvertures 11 sont par exemple délimitées par des portions de cercles qui sont concentriques pour ce qui concerne les deux grands bords. Une plage 16 de la surface du couvercle 10 de même forme sensiblement en croissant sépare lesdites ouvertures 11 du bord extérieur du couvercle 10. Une fenêtre centrale 12 est revêtue d'un film transparent, en matériau plastique, en matériau bio-sourcé ou en papier.Referring to the figure 1 , the lid 10 is flat and comprises, in its rounded angular sectors, openings 11 which are moreover parallel to the curves of said angular sectors. These openings 11 are for example defined by portions of circles which are concentric with respect to the two large edges. A beach 16 of the surface of the lid 10 of substantially crescent shape separates said openings 11 from the outer edge of the lid 10. A central window 12 is coated with a transparent film, made of plastic material, bio-sourced material or paper .

Ce film peut être perforé pour assurer un échange gazeux entre le volume enclos dans l'emballage et l'atmosphère externe, ou être prévu en un matériau micro-perforé choisis selon le type d'échanges à assurer, qui dépend notamment du type d'aliments prévu pour l'emballage. Une languette de préhension 13 est placée en bordure de la fenêtre 12, munie d'un prépliage 14 sous forme d'un rainage ou d'un affaiblissement de la ligne reliant ladite languette 13 au reste du couvercle 10. Cette languette 13, dans d'autres configurations, pourrait se trouver au niveau du bord externe du couvercle 10.This film may be perforated to ensure a gas exchange between the enclosed volume in the packaging and the external atmosphere, or be provided in a micro-perforated material chosen according to the type of exchanges to ensure, which depends in particular on the type of food provided for packaging. A gripping tongue 13 is placed at the edge of the window 12, provided with a pre-fold 14 in the form of a creasing or weakening of the line connecting said tongue 13 to the remainder of the lid 10. This tongue 13, in other configurations, could be at the outer edge of the lid 10.

Celui-ci comporte par ailleurs, dans ses portions rectilignes reliant les secteurs angulaires, une bordure présentant des ondulations 15 visant notamment à permettre une forme de ventilation. Il s'agit d'une possibilité également intéressante pour le conditionnement de certains aliments, sachant qu'il peut par ailleurs être prévu, dans d'autres hypothèses, un degré d'obturation élevé sans possibilités de passage pour la ventilation. Une forme d'imperméabilité, en somme.It also comprises, in its rectilinear portions connecting the angular sectors, a border having corrugations 15 in particular to allow a form of ventilation. This is also an interesting possibility for the packaging of certain foods, knowing that it can also be expected, in other cases, a high degree of closure without passage possibilities. for ventilation. A form of impermeability, in short.

Les figures 2 à 4 représentent une configuration possible de contenant 20 auquel le couvercle 10 de la figure 1 s'adapte. Il présente une ouverture supérieure délimitée par une paroi périphérique 21 dont les portions angulaires sont arrondies, ladite paroi 21 entourant un fond 22 et étant de dimensions, au voisinage de son rebord supérieur 23, compatibles avec celles du couvercle 10. Des gorges 24 d'angle suivent le contour des portions angulaires arrondies, lesdites gorges 24 étant disposées un peu en-dessous du rebord 23 supérieur dans ces zones. Ces gorges 24 sont délimitées par une portion 26 de la paroi extérieure du contenant 20 située au voisinage du rebord 23 (voir en particulier en figure 4), un fond 25 et un muret intérieur 29, sur un secteur angulaire ne dépassant pas 90°. La forme desdits murets 29, mieux visible par exemple en figures 3 et 4, est telle qu'elle s'adapte à l'intérieur des ouvertures 11 du couvercle 10. L'ajustement peut être plus ou moins abouti, selon le niveau d'obturabilité requis. Dans l'exemple illustré par les figures, les bords libres du couvercle 10 qui coopèrent par correspondance de forme avec le contenant 20 sont constitués non seulement par le contour extérieur dudit couvercle 10, mais également par les bords des découpes formant les ouvertures 11.The Figures 2 to 4 represent a possible configuration of container 20 to which the lid 10 of the figure 1 fits. It has an upper opening delimited by a peripheral wall 21 whose angular portions are rounded, said wall 21 surrounding a bottom 22 and being of dimensions, in the vicinity of its upper rim 23, compatible with those of the cover 10. Grooves 24 d ' angle follow the contour of the rounded angular portions, said grooves 24 being disposed a little below the upper flange 23 in these areas. These grooves 24 are delimited by a portion 26 of the outer wall of the container 20 located in the vicinity of the rim 23 (see especially FIG. figure 4 ), a bottom 25 and an interior wall 29, on an angular sector not exceeding 90 °. The shape of said walls 29, better visible for example in Figures 3 and 4 is such that it fits inside the openings 11 of the lid 10. The adjustment can be more or less successful, depending on the level of shutter required. In the example illustrated by the figures, the free edges of the cover 10, which cooperate in correspondence with the container 20, consist not only of the outer contour of said cover 10, but also of the edges of the cutouts forming the openings 11.

Les plages 16 pleines des zones angulaires arrondies du couvercle 10 sont insérées dans les gorges 24 lors des phases d'obturation du contenant 20. Des contre-dépouilles 27, 27' dépassent de la portion 26 de paroi vers l'intérieur de la gorge 24, en vue du verrouillage par clipsage, c'est-à-dire par déformation élastique, du couvercle 10 dans le contenant 20. Dans ce cas, la déformabilité élastique (au moins lors des premières utilisations) du carton permet en effet la déformation des plages 16 de coin du couvercle 10 lors du passage sur les rampes 28 supérieures des contre-dépouilles, avant reprise élastique de la forme initiale du couvercle 10 après franchissement de l'extrémité libre des contre-dépouilles 27, 27'. Ce franchissement signifie en pratique la fermeture correcte de l'emballage par verrouillage des plages 16 en dessous des contre-dépouilles 27, 27'. De préférence, lesdites plages 16 prennent ensuite appui sur les fonds 25 des gorges 24.The solid areas 16 of the rounded angular areas of the lid 10 are inserted into the grooves 24 during the closing phases of the container 20. Undercuts 27, 27 'protrude from the wall portion 26 towards the inside of the groove 24 , with a view to locking by clipping, that is to say by elastic deformation, of the In this case, the elastic deformability (at least during the first uses) of the cardboard makes it possible to deform the corner areas 16 of the lid 10 during the passage on the upper ramps 28 of the undercuts, before elastic recovery of the initial shape of the cover 10 after crossing the free end of the undercuts 27, 27 '. This crossing means in practice the correct closure of the packaging by locking the tracks 16 below the undercuts 27, 27 '. Preferably, said beaches 16 then bear on the bottoms 25 of the grooves 24.

Ouvrir la barquette revient à extraire le couvercle 10 du contenant 20. Dans ce cas, la languette 13 est tirée par l'utilisateur de manière à écarter le couvercle 10 du contenant 20. Les plages 16 ressortent des gorges 24 en franchissant en sens inverse les proéminences que constituent les contre-dépouilles 27, 27'.Opening the tray returns to extract the lid 10 of the container 20. In this case, the tongue 13 is pulled by the user so as to spread the lid 10 of the container 20. The tracks 16 emerge from the grooves 24 crossing in opposite directions prominences of undercuts 27, 27 '.

Les zones 17 du couvercle qui sont périphériques à la fenêtre peuvent faire l'objet d'impressions très diverses, des plus simples aux plus sophistiquées, noir et blanc ou couleurs, pour faire de la barquette un emballage communiquant.The areas 17 of the cover that are peripheral to the window can be printed in a variety of ways, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, black and white or colors, to make the tray a communicating package.

La version du couvercle apparaissant en figure 5 se différencie de celle qui fait l'objet de la figure 1 par une encoche 18 pratiquée dans la périphérie du couvercle 10, ainsi que par des ouvertures de ventilation 19, 19'. La fenêtre centrale 12 est par ailleurs de forme arrondie. Le reste de la configuration de ce couvercle 10 reprend sensiblement les caractéristiques du couvercle de la figure 1.The version of the lid appearing in figure 5 differentiates from that which is the subject of the figure 1 by a notch 18 formed in the periphery of the cover 10, as well as by ventilation openings 19, 19 '. The central window 12 is also rounded. The rest of the configuration of this cover 10 substantially takes the characteristics of the cover of the figure 1 .

Cet emballage selon l'invention a l'avantage d'une mise en place et d'une solidarisation du couvercle sur le contenant simple, pouvant se faire d'une seule main. Ce montage est en outre rapide, et assure une solidarisation du couvercle sur le contenant satisfaisante.This package according to the invention has the advantage of setting up and securing the lid on the simple container, which can be done with one hand. This assembly is also fast, and ensures a fastening of the lid on the satisfactory container.

L'invention ne se limite bien entendu pas aux exemples décrits et expliqués en référence aux figures, mais elle englobe les variantes notamment de forme et de matière qui entrent dans la portée des revendications.The invention is not limited, of course, to the examples described and explained with reference to the figures, but it encompasses the variants, in particular of form and material, which come within the scope of the claims.
