Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging, comprising on the one hand, a container having side walls meeting at corners, a bottom and an upper opening, as well as a cover intended to close the upper opening of the container. .
- the field of the invention is that of plastic packaging conventionally obtained by injection molding of the lid and the container to one another, in an elastic manner.
- the first engagement part of the cover comprises an edge directed towards the outside, and extending on the periphery, the second engagement part of the cover being provided with an edge, directed towards the inside, arranged on a skirt of the second engagement part, which is able to hang below the edge directed towards the outside of the container, to ensure the locking of the cover on the container.
- the edge of the container facing outward, on the one hand, and the edge of the lid facing inward, on the other hand, have curved angle sections in the corners where said side walls meet , said curved angle sections connecting the lateral sections of the respective edges.
- Removing the lid is typically done by the end user, and may be difficult for some, or even require the help of a tool such as a screwdriver to detach the lid from the container.
- One of the solutions is disclosed in document EP 0 1 10 859 and consists in providing a foldable skirt section on the cover, at one of the sections of curved angles of the edge directed inwards, articulated at a folding zone, such as a flexible hinge, at the upper part of the second engagement portion of the cover.
- This foldable skirt section is able to fold from an engagement position towards a position directed towards the outside so that a central part of said at least one angle section of the edge directed towards the inside is discarded by the lever effect of the edge directed towards the outside of the upper opening, and the engagement between the edges directed respectively towards the inside and towards the outside is thus weakened on the central part.
- the foldable skirt section is separated from the remaining section of the skirt by means of two grooves formed in the external surface of the skirt and extending downward from a folding zone. to the lower edge of the skirt, said grooves reducing the wall thickness of the skirt so that the skirt can be broken along the grooves in order to fold the foldable skirt section from its engagement position towards its outward facing position.
- Such a solution comprising a foldable skirt section greatly facilitates the opening of the cover where it is most difficult (ie a corner), by weakening the connection between the cover and the container in this corner, and advantageously combines an opening indicator function, the two grooves breakable being irreversibly broken, after lifting the skirt section.
- the inwardly directed edge is carried by the foldable skirt section, located below the flexible hinge between the foldable skirt section and the second engagement part. It is however possible to provide the edge directed inwards above the flexible hinge, as disclosed by document EP2523866, and so that this edge is not cut when the foldable skirt section is raised, and in order to preserve the seal between the lid and the container after the first opening.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a packaging comprising a cover and a container of the type as described in document EP 0 1 10 859, which comprises a foldable skirt section facilitating the detachment of the cover, reducing, or at the very least limiting significantly the risk of fraudulent openings, namely the detachment of the cover without breaking the breakable grooves as an opening indicator.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such packaging whose design does not complicate the injection molding equipment necessary for its manufacture, and therefore its cost.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such packaging whose resistance to the load during stacking of the packaging is significantly improved compared to the aforementioned state of the art.
- the invention relates to a packaging comprising, on the one hand, a container, plastic, comprising side walls meeting at corners, an upper opening and a bottom, and on the other hand, a cover , a detachable plastic configured to cover the upper opening of the container, and in which the container is provided at its upper opening with a first engagement portion carrying an edge directed towards the outside, and extending on the periphery, said cover being provided on its peripheral part with a second engagement portion extending folded downwards provided with an edge, directed inwards which is capable of catching below the edge directed towards the outside of the container, and in which the second engagement portion of the cover has a skirt extending over the lower part of the second engagement portion, and in which the edge of the container faces outward laughing, on the one hand, and the edge of the cover directed inward, on the other hand, having curved angle sections in the corners where said side walls meet, said curved angle sections connecting the side sections of the respective edges , where at least one of the sections of curved angles of the inwardly
- the first engagement portion of the container carrying the edge directed towards the outside extends and extends below the edge, called the first edge, and ends below the first edge by a second edge, also outwardly directed with a curved angle section,
- the foldable skirt section carries at least one lug, directed inwards, which in the position of engagement of the foldable skirt section, is able to catch under the second edge directed towards the outside of the first engagement portion, at least when a force is applied to the cover tending to detach it.
- the snap overlap between said at least one lug and the second edge is at least twice greater than the snap overlap between the edge directed inward and the first edge directed outward;
- the catching overlap between said at least one lug and the second edge is of value greater than 2 mm and preferably less than 4 mm;
- At least one lug extends in length along the second edge along a dimension less than 1/3, or even 1/5 of the length of the second edge on the curved angle section;
- the foldable skirt section of the cover having a through recess extending along the height of the foldable skirt section, above and to the right of said at least one lug: in particular said through recess extends from its part low from said at least one lug and to the folding zone between the foldable skirt section and the upper part of the second engagement part, and only along the length of the lug;
- the container has four side walls meeting at four corners, the edge directed towards the inside of the cover having four sections of curved angle iron with four foldable skirt sections, each carrying said at least one lug of the foldable skirt section, suitable for hanging with the second edge directed towards the outside of the container;
- the foldable skirt section carries said at least lug, as well as the edge directed inwards, both positioned under the folding zone, in the engagement position of the foldable skirt section;
- the peripheral wall of the cover immediately extending the second engagement part comprises, along the edges of the cover, on the lateral sections between the sections of curved angles where the edge directed towards the inside of the cover hooks the edge directed towards the outside of the container, projecting, vertical abutment ribs positioned under the cover, oriented towards the outside, forming a plurality of counter-supports between the sections of curved angles on the internal faces of the walls of the container, distributed over the periphery of the container, reinforcing the attachment between the edges of the sections lateral along the edges of the cover between the sections of curved angles;
- the density of the counter-support ribs along the edge of the cover is, on the middle part between two sections of curved angles, greater than the density of the counter-support ribs on the end portions near the sections of curved angle, on either side of the middle part;
- the peripheral wall extending the second engagement part connects the second engagement part to the horizontal wall of the cover, being inclined relative to the horizontal wall, for example by an angle a of between 45 ° and 70 °, the peripheral wall delimiting with the internal walls of the container a groove G opening out under the underside of the cover inside which protrude said abutment ribs;
- each counter-supporting rib is of triangular shape, adjoining the peripheral wall by the longest side of the triangle, while a second side of the triangle, substantially horizontal, is oriented in the extension of the horizontal wall of the cover, the third side forming a support zone on the internal face of the container;
- the third side has a section of greater length, forming the support zone on the internal face of a side wall of the container, and a section of shorter length, notched, so as not to press on the side wall, l 'angle formed between the second side and the third side being rounded;
- the cover have wedging ribs, projecting from the periphery of the cover, inwardly relative to the second engagement part and upwardly relative to the horizontal wall of the cover, said wedge ribs being distributed over the inner periphery of the second engagement part, so as to receive therebetween by centering the bottom part of a container of identical packaging superimposed on the horizontal wall of the cover, said wedging ribs constituting stops with the lower part of the side walls of the stacked container;
- the support ribs are, at least in part, ribs located, relative to the peripheral wall in the extension of the wedging ribs; said abutment ribs and said wedging ribs being coplanar in pairs;
- each wedging rib extends in height from the horizontal wall of the cover and up above the lower part of the second engagement part, and inwards, from the second engagement part to the horizontal wall, partially covering the horizontal wall, each wedging rib being adjoining at a first edge along the horizontal wall of the cover, at a second edge along the inclined peripheral wall, and over part of the height of the second engagement part along d 'a third edge;
- the second engagement part forms a groove open downwards, receiving the first engagement part

- the invention relates to a package 1 comprising, on the one hand, a container 2, plastic, comprising side walls 20, 21, 22, 23 meeting at corners 24, an upper opening 25 and a bottom 26, and on the other hand, a cover 4, detachable plastic configured to cover the upper opening of the container.
- the side walls 20, 21, 22, 23 can be substantially divergent, forming between them a pyramid trunk, configured so that the container is stackable inside an identical container.
- the container 2 is provided at its upper opening 25 with a first engagement portion 27 carrying an edge 28 directed towards the outside, and extending on the periphery, said cover 4 being provided on its peripheral part d 'a second engagement portion 40 extending folded downwards provided with an edge 41, directed inwards which is capable of catching below the edge 28 directed towards the exterior of the container.
- the first engagement part 27 comes to penetrate a groove in the second engagement part 40, open downwards.
- the first engagement part 27 comprises an inverted U-shaped section, including a first length section extending the interior wall upwards, followed by a second length section, inclined relative to the first section, for example horizontal, followed by a third section of length, inclined with respect to the second section and extending downward, this third section carrying the edge 28 directed outwards, and ending in part with a second edge 30.
- the second engagement part 40 forms a groove open downwards, receiving the first engagement part 27.
- the second engagement part 40 comprises an inverted U section, including a first length section extending the upper wall of the cover, followed by a second length section, inclined relative to the first section, for example horizontal, followed by a third section length, inclined relative to the second section and extending downward forming a skirt 42, this third section carrying the edge 41 directed inward.
- the second engagement portion of the cover thus has the skirt 42 which extends over the lower part of the second engagement portion 40, the edge 28 of the container directed towards the outside, on the one hand, and the edge 41 of the cover 4 directed inwards, on the other hand, having curved angle sections 29, 43 in the corners where said side walls meet, said curved angle sections connecting the side sections of the respective edges.
- At least one of the sections of curved angles 43 of the edge 41 facing inwards is provided with a foldable skirt section 44, articulated to a folding zone 46 at the top of the second portion engagement 40 which is able to fold from an engagement position P1 to a position directed towards the outside so that a central part of said at least one section of angle iron of the edge directed towards the inside 41 is discarded by the lever effect of the edge 28 directed towards the outside of the upper opening, and that the engagement between the edges 28, 41 is thus weakened on the central part.
- Such a foldable skirt section facilitates the detachment of the cover by the user, and without requiring the use of a tool such as a screwdriver: the weakening is obtained simply by spreading out the section of folding skirt 44 which pivots relative to the rest of the cover around the folding zone 46.
- said foldable skirt section 44 is, in its engagement position, separated from the remaining section of the skirt by means of two grooves 45 formed in the external surface of the skirt and extending towards the bottom of a folding zone up to the lower edge of the skirt: said grooves 45 reduce the wall thickness of the skirt so that the skirt can be broken along the grooves in order to fold the foldable skirt section, from its engagement position P1, to its position facing outward.
- the first engagement portion 27 of the container carrying the edge 28 directed towards the outside extends and extends below the edge, called the first edge, and ends below the first edge with a second edge 41 facing outward, having a curved angle section.
- the foldable skirt section 42 carries at least one lug 47, directed inward, which in the engagement position P1 of the foldable skirt section, is able to s 'hang under the second edge 30 directed towards the outside of the first engagement portion, at least when a force is applied to the cover tending to detach it.
- the attachment of said at least one lug 47 to the second edge 30 is achieved, in the engagement position P1 of the foldable skirt section in a local area only, along the curved section of the second edge 30 directed outward: the lug 47 extends along the length of the second edge 30 only over part of the second edge 30: for example the lug extends along the second edge along a dimension less than 1/3, or even 1/5 of the length of the second edge 30 on the curved angle section.
- the catching overlap Rac2 between the mutually engaging faces of said at least one lug 47 and of the second edge 30, in a radial direction to the curved section of the second edge 30, is of dimension greater than snap overlap Rac1 between the mutually engaging faces of the edge 41 facing inwards and of the first edge 28 directed outwards, in a radial direction to the curved section of the first edge 28.
- said at least one lug 47 always hooks the second edge 30, due to a larger Rac2 snap overlap: for example, the snap overlap Rac2 between said at least one lug 47 and the second edge 30 is at least two times greater than the catching overlap Rac1 between the edge 41 facing inward and the first edge 28 facing outward.
- the dimension of the lug 47 directed inwards is much greater than the dimension of the edge 41 directed inwards.
- the foldable skirt section 42 of the cover 4 may have a through recess 48 extending along the height of the foldable skirt section 44, above and in line with said at least one lug 47.
- the function of this recess is to facilitate the demolding of the cover after injection molding during its manufacture: failing this, the large dimension of the lug inward, necessary for obtaining the catching covering Rac2, makes demolding tedious, even impossible without any particular mold arrangement.
- recess 48 implicitly weakens the foldable skirt section 44: also this recess extends only over the area necessary to facilitate demolding, that is to say that this obviously is located at the right of said at least lug 47, which itself extends over a small section of length along the section of angle iron 43, and in order to limit the size of this recess.
- a compromise is finally obtained between the ease of implementation during the manufacturing process by injection molding, and the resistance of the attachment between the foldable skirt section and the container in this corner.
- said through recess 48 extends, for example from its lower part from said at least one lug 47 and up to the folding zone 46 between the section of folding skirt 44 and the upper part of the second engagement part 40, and only along the length of the lug 47.
- the invention further improves the stacking resistance of the packaging, and more particularly the holding of the lid of the packaging lowest in the stack: under the effect of the weight of the column, in the packaging of the state of the art it may happen that the lid is released and is literally found pushed through the opening of the container.
- the invention allows, by hooking said at least lug, better resistance to sinking.
- at least one lug 47 and at least one foldable skirt section can be provided on each corner of the packaging.
- the foldable skirt section 44 carries said at least one lug 47, as well as the edge 41 directed inwards, both positioned under the folding zone 46, in the position d engagement P1 of the foldable skirt section 44: the edge 41 facing inwards is therefore sectioned when the foldable skirt section 44 is raised, from its engagement position P1.
- the edge 41 directed inward can be located above the folding zone 46, so that the lifting of the foldable skirt section does not cut the edge 41 facing inward, preserving the sealing properties of the cover with the first opening.
- the container has four side walls meeting at four corners, the edge 41 directed towards the inside of the cover having four sections of curved angle 43 with four foldable skirt sections 44, each carrying at least one lug 47 of the foldable skirt section, capable of hooking with the second edge 30 directed towards the outside of the container.
- At least four pins 47 ensure reliable attachment of the lid to the four corners of the container, which further increases the attachment connection between the lid and the container.
- the invention also makes it possible to improve the stacking resistance of the packaging, and more particularly the strength of the cover of the packaging that is lowest in the stack: under the effect of the weight of the column. On the contrary, and in state-of-the-art packaging, it can happen that the lid is released and literally finds itself pushed through the opening of the container.
- the invention allows, by hooking said at least lug at the corners, better resistance to sinking, the cover remaining attached to the container at least at the four corners having said lugs.
- the second embodiment illustrated in Figures 7 to 1 1 is advantageous in that it provides a strengthening of the attachment between the first engagement portion of the container and the second engagement portion of the lid, not only at the corners, but also along the edges between the corners on the lateral sections of the edges 28,41 /.
- this second embodiment comprises first of all, as said at least one lug 47 configured to hang, the second edge 30 of the container, and according to the hooking overlap described above, important, which ensures, not only having to cut the grooves 45 to disengage said at least lug 47 from the second edge 30, but also maintaining the cover on the container, during stacking, resistant to deformation and stress under load, thanks to a robust attachment at the corners of the cover carrying said at least lug, along the sections of curved angle 43.
- the attachment can be optionally reinforced, always at the corners, with the presence of two pins 47 on each foldable skirt section 44; at the sections of curved angles. Doubling the lugs 47 by corners can be a general measure according to the invention, and not limited to this particular embodiment.
- peripheral wall 49 of the extending cover immediately the second engagement part 40 comprises along the edges of the cover on the side sections between the sections of curved angles 43 where the edge 41 directed towards the inside of the cover hooks the edge 28 directed towards the outside of the container , projecting ribs 50, projecting, vertical, positioned under the cover, facing outwards.
- These counter-support ribs 50 are notable for responding to the problem identified above for the first embodiment in that they advantageously form a plurality of counter-supports Ap on the internal faces of the side walls 20, 21 , 22, 23 of the container, distributed over the periphery of the container on the lateral sections of the edges 28, 41 between the sections of curved angles 43.
- These Ap rests advantageously reinforce the attachment between the edges 28, 41 along the edges of the cover on the lateral sections of the edges 28, 41 between the sections of curved angles 43.
- the second engagement portion 40 forms a groove G open downward, receiving the first engagement portion 27.
- the second engagement portion 40 comprises a U-shaped section inverted, including a first section of length, extending the upper wall of the cover (immediately including the peripheral wall 49 extended by a central horizontal wall of the cover), followed by a second section of length, inclined relative to the first section , for example horizontal, followed by a third section of length, inclined with respect to the second section and extending downwards forming a skirt 42, this third section carrying the edge 41 directed inwards.
- the peripheral wall 49 extends the second engagement part 40 by connecting the second engagement part to the horizontal wall of the cover. As shown in Figures 10 and 1 1, this peripheral wall 49 can be inclined relative to the horizontal wall, central cover, for example at an angle a for example between 30 ° and 70 ° including between 45 ° and 70 ° . This wall 49 is descending from the second engagement part 40 towards the horizontal wall. This peripheral wall 49 delimits with the side walls 20; 21; 22; 23, when the cover is fixed to the container (by hooking the ribs 28, 41) a groove G, opening under the underside of the cover 4 and which runs on the inner periphery of the container.
- the density of the ribs 50 against the support along the edge of the cover 4 can be, on the middle part PM of the lateral section between two sections of curved angles 43, greater than the linear density of the ribs 50 against the support on the extreme parts PE of the lateral section close to the sections of curved angles 43, on either side of the middle part PM
- the middle part PM includes counter-support ribs 50 five in number along the length of the edge between two corners, while the two end parts PE have a lower linear density, with only two supporting ribs.
- each counter-supporting rib 50 may be of triangular shape, adjoining the peripheral wall 49 by the longest side 51 of the triangle known as the first side, while a second side 52 of the triangle, substantially horizontal, is oriented in the extension of the horizontal wall of the cover and in particular of its underside, the third side 53 forming a support zone on the internal face of the container.
- the third side 52 has a section of greater length Sis, forming the counter support. Ap on the internal face of a side wall of the container, and a section of lower length Sli, notched, so as not to press on the side wall, the angle formed between the second side 52 and the third side 53 advantageously being round. This avoids the presence of a sharp angle capable of altering the content, or even piercing a flexible bag used to package materials inside the container.
- the cover 4 may also include wedging ribs 54, projecting on the periphery of the cover, inwards relative to the second engagement part 40 and towards the high relative to the horizontal wall of the cover.
- the wedging ribs 54 are distributed over the inner periphery of the second engagement part 40, so as to receive therebetween by centering the lower part of a container of identical packaging superimposed on the horizontal wall of the cover. Said wedging ribs constitute stops with the lower part of the side walls of the superimposed container, ensuring its centering on the cover.
- the ribs 50 of the abutment are, at least in part, ribs situated, relative to the peripheral wall 49, in the extension of the wedging ribs 54; said counter ribs 50 and said wedging ribs 54 being coplanar, in pairs.
- the middle part PM comprises three of the wedging ribs 54 respectively extending three counter-support ribs 50, while two other counter-support ribs 50, respectively positioned intermediate between the aforementioned ribs, protrude from the peripheral wall 49, alone, namely without extending wedging ribs;
- two ribs 50 of counter support respectively extend two wedging ribs 54.
- Each wedging ribs 54 extends in height from the horizontal wall of the cover and up above the bottom part of the second engagement part 40, and inwards, from the second part of commitment 40 to the horizontal wall, partially covering the horizontal wall of the cover. As can be seen in FIG. 10, each wedging rib 54 is attached to the rest of the cover at a first edge 55 along the horizontal wall, at a second edge 56 along the inclined peripheral wall 49, and over part of the height of the second engagement part along a third edge 57. In combination with the counter-support ribs 50, these wedging ribs 54 can help limit the transmission of forces under the load to the second part of engagement.
