Abstract

The box is in book form and formed of two rectangular half boxes each formed from moulded plastics. One half fits inside the other to form an enclosure complementing the shape of a video cassette. The halves are coupled by a flexible spine (18) moulded integrally with the half rectangular boxes. A transparent plastics jacket (22) is welded directly to the peripheral edges of the half boxes (10,12). A space (30) is left between the spine (18) and the jacket for insertion of a label for descriptive or commercial purposes. The half boxes are formed from material of sufficient thickness to be rigid, providing protection for the cassette.

Description

La présente invention concerne un coffret pour vidéo-cassette du type se présentant sous forme de livre et comportant deux demi-boîtiers constitués de coquilles rectangulaires en matière plastique moulée, susceptibles de s'emboîter ltune dans l'autre pour définir un logement de forme sensiblement complémentaire de celle de la vidéo-cassette à protéger, et reliées entre-elles par un dos souple venant de moulage avec les coquilles. The present invention relates to a video cassette case of the type in the form of a book and comprising two half-housings made of rectangular molded plastic shells, capable of fitting together to define a housing of substantially shaped complementary to that of the video cassette to be protected, and linked together by a flexible back coming from molding with the shells.

La rigidité des coquilles est améliorée au moyen de deux plaques de renforcement, par exemple en carton, disposees sous les coquilles et maintenues en place à laide d'une feuille de matière plastique soudée par ses quatre côtés sur le bord périphérique des coquilles. The rigidity of the shells is improved by means of two reinforcing plates, for example made of cardboard, placed under the shells and held in place by means of a plastic sheet welded by its four sides to the peripheral edge of the shells.

Généralement, le coffret comporte également une jaquette en matière plastique transparente recouvrant ladite feuille de plastique et soudée par trois de ses côtés sur le bord périphérique des coquilles, de manière à définir avec celles-ci une poche pour 11 insertion d'un encart portant une inscription publicitaire, décorative ou autre.Generally, the box also includes a transparent plastic jacket covering said plastic sheet and welded by three of its sides to the peripheral edge of the shells, so as to define therewith a pocket for inserting an insert carrying a advertising, decorative or other inscription.

Mais un tel coffret fait inter#venir un nombre important d'éléments, à savoir une double coquille, deux plaques de renforcement, une feuille de matière plastique, et une jaquette. De ce fait, le coffret est relativement lourd, long à fabriquer et donc d'un prix de revient élevé. But such a box involves a large number of elements, namely a double shell, two reinforcing plates, a sheet of plastic material, and a dust jacket. Therefore, the box is relatively heavy, long to manufacture and therefore a high cost price.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et propose à cet effet un coffret du type comprenant deux coquilles reliées par un dos et qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte une jaquette en matière plastique transparente soudée directement sur le bord périphérique des coquilles et du dos, sans interposition d'élément de renforcement et en ce que les coquilles ont une épaisseur de paroi suffisamment importante pour avoir une bonne rigidité. The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes for this purpose a box of the type comprising two shells connected by a back and which is characterized in that it comprises a transparent plastic jacket welded directly to the peripheral edge of the shells and back, without interposition of reinforcing element and in that the shells have a sufficiently large wall thickness to have good rigidity.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'inven- tion, la jaquette est soudée par trois de ses côtés sur le bord périphérique des coquilles et du dos, le quatrième me côté restant ouvert de manière à permettre ltintroduc- tion d'un encart dans la poche formée entre la jaquette et les coquilles
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la jaquette est soudée par ses quatre côtés sur le bord périphérique des coquilles et du dos, des fentes étant prévues à La base des parois latérales des coquilles situées de part et d'autre du dos en vue de l'introduction des volets d'un encart dans les deux poches formées entre la jaquette et chacune des coquilles.
According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the jacket is welded by three of its sides to the peripheral edge of the shells and of the back, the fourth side remaining open so as to allow the insertion of an insert into the pocket formed between the jacket and the shells
According to another embodiment, the jacket is welded by its four sides to the peripheral edge of the shells and of the back, slots being provided at the base of the side walls of the shells located on either side of the back in view of the 'introduction of the flaps of an insert in the two pockets formed between the jacket and each of the shells.

L'invention sera à présent décrite en détail, en regard des dessins annexés dans lesquels:
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un coffret selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention;
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne Il-Il de la figure 1; et
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe analogue à la figure 2, d'un second mode de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will now be described in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet according to a first embodiment of the invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II of Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is a sectional view similar to Figure 2, of a second embodiment of the invention.

Avec référence aux figures 1 et 2, le coffret comprend de façon connue en soi, deux demi-boitiers 10, 12 constitués par des coquilles creuses de forme générale rectangulaire, présentant sur leur bord périphérique supérieur des reliefs respectifs 14, 16 susceptibles de s'emboîter ltun dans l'autre, et par un dos souple 18 reliant entre elles les coquilles. Le coffret a donc la forme d'un livre et lorsque les coquilles sont appliquées l'une sur autre, elles définissent un logement de forme complémentaire de celle de la vidéo-cassette. With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the box comprises in a manner known per se, two half-boxes 10, 12 constituted by hollow shells of generally rectangular shape, having on their upper peripheral edge respective reliefs 14, 16 capable of fit one into the other, and by a flexible back 18 connecting the shells together. The box therefore has the shape of a book and when the shells are applied one on another, they define a housing of shape complementary to that of the video cassette.

Selon l'invention, les coquilles 10, 12 et le dos 18 sont réalisés à partir d'une unique couche de matière plastique moulée, sur laquelle viennent de moulage lesdits reliefs 14, 16 ainsi qu'un doigt 20 de positionnement de la cassette. According to the invention, the shells 10, 12 and the back 18 are made from a single layer of molded plastic, on which the said reliefs 14, 16 come from molding as well as a finger 20 for positioning the cassette.

Une jaquette rectangulaire 22 en matière plastique transparente est soudée par trois de ses côtés sur le bord des marges 24, 26, 28 qui bordent respectivement le côté longitudinal externe de la coquille 10, les côtés transversaux des coquilles 10, 12 et le côté longitudinal de la coquille 12. Le quatrième côté de la jaquette 22 ntest pas soudé. Dans la poche qui est ainsi formée entre la jaquette et les coquilles, on peut glisser un encart 30 portant une inscription publicitaire, décorative ou autre. A rectangular jacket 22 of transparent plastic material is welded by three of its sides to the edge of the margins 24, 26, 28 which respectively border the external longitudinal side of the shell 10, the transverse sides of the shells 10, 12 and the longitudinal side of the shell 12. The fourth side of the jacket 22 is not welded. In the pocket which is thus formed between the jacket and the shells, an insert 30 carrying an advertising, decorative or other inscription can be slipped.

Avantageusement, les marges 24, 26, 28 présentent une dépression 32 de faible hauteur suffisante pour absorber épaisseur de l'encart. Advantageously, the margins 24, 26, 28 have a depression 32 of small height sufficient to absorb the thickness of the insert.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, la jaquette 22 est soudée par ses quatre côtés sur le bord périphérique des marges du coffret. La portion centrale 34 de la jaquette joue le rôle du dos 18 du mode de réalisation précédent. In the embodiment of Figure 3, the jacket 22 is welded by its four sides to the peripheral edge of the margins of the cabinet. The central portion 34 of the jacket plays the role of the back 18 of the previous embodiment.

Pour l'introduction de l'encart 30 entre la jaquette 22' et les coquilles 10, 12, celles-ci présentent des fentes longitudinales 36, 38 à la base de leurs parois longitudinales qui longent le dos 30. For the insertion of the insert 30 between the jacket 22 'and the shells 10, 12, these have longitudinal slots 36, 38 at the base of their longitudinal walls which run along the back 30.

Les coffrets selon l'invention sont nettement plus légers que ceux de la technique antérieure susmentionnée (environ deux fois plus légers), ce qui permet de réduire substantiellement les frais de port.  The boxes according to the invention are significantly lighter than those of the above-mentioned prior art (approximately twice as light), which makes it possible to reduce the shipping costs substantially.
