Abstract

Container whose lid converts, by the intermediary of folds and cut-outs, into a decorative object, which is either useful or a plaything, characterised in that it is constituted by a sheet of cardboard which, when flat, represents an outline formed by folds and cut-outs whose contours form protruding fixing tabs 7 and a protuberance 11. Folds 9, 10 and 12 delimit the parallelepipedal shape forming the lid whose fixing tabs 7 and protuberance 11 are initially folded inside. Successive folding makes it possible to obtain a package box lid which subsequently becomes a decorative animal object.

Description

La présente invention concerne des réceptacles, en particulier des bottes à chaussures, mais aussi tout autre emballage parallélépipedique dont le couvercle en matière pliable est transformable en un sujet décoratif, utile, ou en jouet
Les boites d'emballage sont habituellement jetées, et n'ont plus de fonction, une fois le produit sorti de son emballage exemple : les boites à chaussures. Mais cette récupération d'emballage par la transformation peut evidemment s'adapter a d'autres produits cosmetiques, alimentaires
Le but recherché par l'invention est la transformation de la boîte d'emballage, en une boite originale, et ce grâce à un système de découpes et de pliages prévus à cet effet. Toutefois, la première fonction protectrice de l'emballage est sauvegardée, une fois la transformation opérée.The present invention relates to receptacles, in particular shoe boots, but also any other parallelepiped packaging whose cover made of foldable material can be transformed into a decorative, useful or toy subject
The packaging boxes are usually discarded, and no longer have any function, once the product has been removed from its packaging, for example: shoe boxes. But this packaging recovery by processing can obviously adapt to other cosmetic and food products.
The aim of the invention is to transform the packaging box into an original box, thanks to a system of cuts and folds provided for this purpose. However, the first protective function of the packaging is saved, once the transformation has taken place.

Dans le cas précis des boites a chaussures parallélépipédi- ques traditionnelles en carton, la transformation en botte originale est prévue a destination de jouet. Il s'agit, dans ce cas précis, d'un sujet décoratif (animal) qui tout en devenant boîte "animal", conservera sa propriété première de boite à chaussures. In the specific case of traditional parallelepipedal shoe boxes made of cardboard, the transformation into an original boot is intended for toys. In this specific case, it is a decorative subject (animal) which, while becoming an "animal" box, will retain its primary property of a shoe box.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise dans la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation préférentiel, en référence aux dessins annéxés dans lesquels
la figure 1 représente une feuille de carton sur laquelle apparaît un tracé, les lignes (10) ainsi que les lignes (9) et (12) représentant la forme rectangulaire du couvercle, formee par ces plis. On trouve le long du pli (12) la decoupe (3) de la tête (11) et sur les 2 cotés des pattes de fixation/4evant à bloquer sur la boîte, par l'intermédiaire des fentes (14) le couvercle plie en parallélépipède. La tête (11) étant à ce moment plié à l'intérieur. Ceci represente la première phase de pliage de la feuille de carton de la figure 3.The present invention will be better understood in the description which follows of a preferred embodiment, with reference to the appended drawings in which
Figure 1 shows a sheet of cardboard on which appears a trace, the lines (10) as well as the lines (9) and (12) representing the rectangular shape of the cover, formed by these folds. We find along the fold (12) the cutout (3) of the head (11) and on the 2 sides of the fixing lugs / 4 before blocking on the box, through the slots (14) the cover folds in parallelepiped. The head (11) being at this time folded inside. This represents the first phase of folding the cardboard sheet of FIG. 3.

Sur la figure 1 apparaît aussi un dessin d'animal (ici un éléphant) mais d'autres animaux peuvent s'y prêter) délimité par des lignes et des contours. Le centre de ce dessin représente le haut du dos (1) de l'animal qui qui permet de plier la feuille en deux. Les.lignes delimitent la pente du dos de chaque coté de l'animal avant les pattes de fixation (7). Par ces mouvements décrits ci-dessus,la découpe (3) se trouvant le long du pli (12) permet de dégager la tête (11) vers l'avant. In Figure 1 also appears a drawing of an animal (here an elephant) but other animals can lend themselves to it) delimited by lines and contours. The center of this drawing represents the upper back (1) of the animal which allows the sheet to be folded in half. The lines delimit the slope of the back on each side of the animal before the fixing lugs (7). By these movements described above, the cutout (3) located along the fold (12) allows to release the head (11) forward.

On replie ensuite a l'intérieur vers l'arrière du couvercle le pli (12), ainsi que celui qui précède le pan incline (4) que l'on fait revenir vers l'avant, ce qui a pour effet de redresser la tête (11) de l'animal dans la position indiquée sur la figure 2. Pour maintenir la tête dans cette position, il suffit de replier surreuxmmes par leur centre les pans inclines (4). Then fold inside the back of the cover the fold (12), as well as that which precedes the inclined pan (4) which is brought back forward, which has the effect of straightening the head (11) of the animal in the position indicated in FIG. 2. To maintain the head in this position, it suffices to fold the inclined sides (4) over their center.

L'animal est donc plie comme on le voit sur la figure 2. Il suffit de le présenter au-dessus de la boîte, et d'introduire les pattes de fixation (7) dans les fentes (13) indiquees sur la figure 4, pour fixer l'animal couvercle à sa place finale sur la boite. The animal is therefore folded as seen in FIG. 2. It suffices to present it above the box, and to introduce the fixing lugs (7) into the slots (13) indicated in FIG. 4, to fix the lid animal in its final place on the box.

La tête de l'éléphant (li)prend formes et reliefs par les plis (5) et (6), la trompe etant mise en avant par le pli central (1). The head of the elephant (li) takes shape and relief through the folds (5) and (6), the proboscis being put forward by the central fold (1).

A l'arrière de l'éléphant apparait la queue (8) qui se degage en éliminant l'excédant de carton le long du pli (9) qui servait de rabat arrière au couvercle. At the rear of the elephant appears the tail (8) which emerges by eliminating the excess cardboard along the fold (9) which served as a rear flap to the cover.

On obtient ainsi un animal couvercle, posé sur sa boite, et maintenu en place par les pattes de fixation (7) introduites dans les fentes (13). Ceci n'empêche en rien de conserver la première fonction du dit emballage de boîte à chaussures. An animal lid is thus obtained, placed on its box, and held in place by the fixing lugs (7) introduced into the slots (13). This does not prevent the first function of said shoe box packaging from being retained.

On a decrit à titre d'exemple la realisation d'une boite élé- phant ; toutefois, le procéde s'applique à d'autres modèles de sujets décoratifs. As an example, the construction of an elephant box has been described; however, the procedure applies to other models of decorative subjects.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la transformation d'un réceptacle de matière pliable, en un sujet décoratif utile ou a destination de jouet. Ceci tout en conservant sa fonction première de boite d'emballage. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the transformation of a receptacle of pliable material, into a useful decorative subject or intended for a toy. This while retaining its primary function of packaging box.
