Abstract

The holder, designed to fasten two or more packs of yoghurt pots together for transport and storage prior to display for sale, is made from a pre-cut cardboard panel and consists of a base (26) on which the packs are stood, and two side panels (28,30) with flaps (32,34,36,38). The side panels are folded up from the base against the sides of the packs, and the flaps are folded at 90 degrees to the side panels and inserted between the pots in the two outermost packs to hold the packs together. The dimensions of the side panels are selected so that once the flaps are bent over they lie in line with the spaces between rows of pots. The lower flaps have rounded upper edges for easy insertion beneath the collars joining the pots in the lower layer.

ELEMENT DE GROUPAGE AVEC ERGOTS DE BLOCAGE POUR
GROUPER DES EMBALLAGES CONTENANT DES POTS REUNIS EN
PLAQUES.GROUPING ELEMENT WITH LOCKING LATCHES FOR
GROUPING PACKAGES CONTAINING POTS GATHERED IN
PLATES.

La présente invention concerne un élément en carton servant à grouper plusieurs emballages contenant chacun au moins une plaque de pots, par exemple des pots de yaourt, réunis à leur bord supérieur par une collerette. The present invention relates to a cardboard element used to group several packages each containing at least one plate of pots, for example yogurt pots, joined at their upper edge by a flange.

Par la demande de brevet nO 96 02064 déposée au nom de la même Demanderesse, on connaît un élément de groupage qui comprend une paroi de fond sur laquelle les emballages sont disposés côte à côte en une seule rangée avec leurs faces ouvertes orientées du même côté, et deux volets latéraux articulés sur deux côtés opposés de ladite paroi de fond, chacun des volets étant muni à ses extrémités d'au moins un tenon supérieur et un tenon inférieur susceptibles d'être pliés perpendiculairement aux volets latéraux et de venir s'emboîter, lorsque les volets sont pivotés vers une position perpendiculaire à la paroi de fond, respectivement dans les deux passages qui sont définis entre les rangées de pots se trouvant dans les deux emballages les plus éloignés, de manière à se coincer sous la collerette des pots. By patent application No. 96 02064 filed in the name of the same Applicant, a grouping element is known which includes a bottom wall on which the packages are arranged side by side in a single row with their open faces oriented on the same side, and two side flaps articulated on two opposite sides of said bottom wall, each of the flaps being provided at its ends with at least one upper lug and one lower lug capable of being folded perpendicularly to the side flaps and of fitting together, when the flaps are pivoted to a position perpendicular to the bottom wall, respectively in the two passages which are defined between the rows of pots located in the two most distant packages, so as to get stuck under the collar of the pots.

Pour permettre aux tenons de s'introduire librement dans lesdits passages sans qu'ils risquent de venir buter contre le bord de la collerette des pots, on doit soulever légèrement les plaques de pots à l'intérieur de leur emballage suffisamment pour que les bords supérieurs des tenons puissent passer sous les collerettes et arriver à leur position définitive. Lorsque les plaques reviennent à leur position basse, les collerettes viennent reposer sur lesdits bords supérieurs des tenons, bloquant ainsi les volets latéraux et les empêchant de s'ouvrir spontanément. To allow the studs to freely introduce into said passages without their risk of abutting against the edge of the collar of the pots, the pot plates must be slightly raised inside their packaging enough so that the upper edges studs can pass under the flanges and arrive at their final position. When the plates return to their low position, the flanges come to rest on said upper edges of the studs, thereby blocking the side flaps and preventing them from opening spontaneously.

Pour démonter l'élément de groupage, on doit simplement tirer sur les volets latéraux en forçant légèrement jusqu'à ce que les tenons se dégagent de sous les collerettes. To dismantle the grouping element, one must simply pull on the side flaps, forcing slightly until the studs clear from under the flanges.

Toutefois, l'expérience montre que lors des manipulations des groupements d'emballages, il arrive souvent que les volets latéraux s'ouvrent malgré tout. Les emballages individuels ne sont plus alors solidarisés entre eux et leur manipulation devient malaisée. However, experience shows that when handling packaging groups, it often happens that the side flaps open despite everything. The individual packages are no longer joined together and their handling becomes difficult.

La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient en renforçant le blocage des volets latéraux en position fermée afin qu'ils ne risquent pas de s'ouvrir, même sous l'action d'une force de traction exercée sur eux. The present invention aims to remedy this drawback by strengthening the blocking of the side flaps in the closed position so that they do not risk opening, even under the action of a traction force exerted on them.

A cet effet, l'invention tire profit du fait que la collerette présente des évidements aux jonctions entre chaque groupe de quatre pots adjacents. To this end, the invention takes advantage of the fact that the collar has recesses at the junctions between each group of four adjacent pots.

L'invention a donc pour objet un élément de groupage du type susmentionné, caractérisé en ce que les tenons supérieurs sont munis sur leur bord supérieur d'ergots susceptibles de se verrouiller dans les évidements de la collerette. The invention therefore relates to a grouping element of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the upper lugs are provided on their upper edge with lugs capable of locking in the recesses of the flange.

Un mode de réalisation de l'invention sera décrit à présent à titre d'exemple, en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel
la figure 1 montre un élément de groupage selon l'invention, étalé à plat
la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de l'élément de groupage de la figure 1 en cours de montage autour de trois emballages de pots de yaourt ; et
la figure 3 est une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle, suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 2.An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example, with reference to the attached drawing in which
Figure 1 shows a grouping element according to the invention, spread out flat
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the grouping member of Figure 1 during assembly around three packages of yogurt pots; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view on a larger scale, along the line III-III of FIG. 2.

Dans l'exemple particulier illustré par les figures, l'élément de groupage 10 groupe trois emballages 12, 14, 16 contenant chacun deux couches de plaques, chaque plaque comprenant six pots 18 disposés en deux rangées de trois pots. In the particular example illustrated by the figures, the grouping element 10 groups three packages 12, 14, 16 each containing two layers of plates, each plate comprising six pots 18 arranged in two rows of three pots.

De façon connue en soi, les pots d'une même plaque sont solidaires entre eux par leur collerette périphérique supérieure 20. Celle-ci présente à chaque jonction entre quatre pots adjacents un évidement 19 de forme généralement carrée. In a manner known per se, the pots of the same plate are joined together by their upper peripheral flange 20. The latter has at each junction between four adjacent pots a recess 19 of generally square shape.

L'élément de groupage est réalisé à partir d'un flan en carton compact comprenant une paroi de fond rectangulaire 26 sur laquelle les trois emballages reposent et deux volets latéraux 28, 30 articulés le long des deux côtés parallèles 22, 24 de la paroi de fond qui se trouvent du côté des faces ouvertes des emballages. Les volets ont une largeur égale au double de la longueur d'un emballage et une hauteur égale à celle d'un emballage. The grouping element is made from a compact cardboard blank comprising a rectangular bottom wall 26 on which the three packages rest and two side flaps 28, 30 articulated along the two parallel sides 22, 24 of the wall of bottom which are on the side of the open sides of the packages. The flaps have a width equal to twice the length of a package and a height equal to that of a package.

Sur chaque côté latéral des volets sont articulés deux tenons sensiblement rectangulaires 32, 34 et 36, 38 respectivement, ayant chacun une hauteur égale à la moitié de la hauteur d'un emballage. Les tenons relatifs à chaque côté latéral sont séparés par une fente 37 de largeur sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur d'une collerette 20. On each lateral side of the flaps are articulated two substantially rectangular tenons 32, 34 and 36, 38 respectively, each having a height equal to half the height of a package. The pins relative to each lateral side are separated by a slot 37 of width substantially equal to the thickness of a flange 20.

Les tenons supérieurs 32, 36 ont un bord supérieur 39 rectiligne, tandis que les tenons inférieurs 34, 38 ont un bord supérieur 41 arrondi. The upper pins 32, 36 have a straight upper edge 39, while the lower pins 34, 38 have a rounded upper edge 41.

Selon l'invention, sur ledit bord rectiligne 39 de chaque tenon supérieur est formé un ergot 43. According to the invention, on said straight edge 39 of each upper tenon is formed a lug 43.

Le procédé de groupage sera décrit à présent en regard des figures 2 et 3. Les emballages 12, 14, 16 sont disposés côte à côte sur la paroi de fond 26 avec leurs faces ouvertes tournées vers les volets latéraux 28, 30. Les tenons 32, 34, 36 et 38 sont ensuite dressés perpendiculairement au volet latéral 28 et celui-ci est ensuite pivoté dans le sens de la flèche (figure 2) jusqu'à la position verticale. Au cours de ce mouvement, les tenons inférieurs 34, 38 pénètrent dans les intervalles compris entre les deux rangées de pots inférieurs des emballages extrêmes 12, 16, puis les tenons supérieurs 32, 36 pénètrent dans les intervalles compris entre les rangées de pots supérieurs. The grouping process will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The packages 12, 14, 16 are arranged side by side on the bottom wall 26 with their open faces facing the side flaps 28, 30. The tenons 32 , 34, 36 and 38 are then erected perpendicular to the side flap 28 and the latter is then pivoted in the direction of the arrow (Figure 2) to the vertical position. During this movement, the lower studs 34, 38 penetrate into the intervals between the two rows of lower pots of the end packages 12, 16, then the upper studs 32, 36 penetrate into the intervals between the rows of upper pots.

Pour éviter que les ergots 43 ne viennent en butée contre le bord de la collerette supérieure 20, au moment de l'introduction des tenons supérieurs, il est prévu de soulever l'ensemble des plaques de pots au moyen de poussoirs, non représentés, agissant à travers des trous 61 percés dans la paroi de fond 26. Une fois que le volet latéral 28 est arrivé à sa position finale verticale, les ergots 43 se trouvent en face des évidements 19 de la collerette supérieure. Dès que les poussoirs sont rétractés, les plaques de pots reviennent à leur position basse. Les ergots 43 pénètrent alors dans les évidements 19 et les collerettes supérieures 20 viennent s'appuyer sur les bords 39 des tenons supérieurs 32, 36. Les volets latéraux se trouvent ainsi bloqués par le verrouillage des ergots dans les évidements et ne peuvent pas être ouverts par pivotement. To prevent the lugs 43 from abutting against the edge of the upper flange 20, at the time of the introduction of the upper studs, it is planned to lift all the pot plates by means of pushers, not shown, acting through holes 61 drilled in the bottom wall 26. Once the side flap 28 has reached its final vertical position, the pins 43 are located opposite the recesses 19 of the upper flange. As soon as the pushers are retracted, the pot plates return to their low position. The pins 43 then enter the recesses 19 and the upper flanges 20 come to bear on the edges 39 of the upper studs 32, 36. The side flaps are thus blocked by the locking of the pins in the recesses and cannot be opened by pivoting.

En raison de la présence des ergots 43, des bossages 45 se forment sur la paroi supérieure 47 des emballages extrêmes 12, 16. Si plusieurs groupements d'emballages analogues à celui de la figure 2 sont gerbés, ces bossages sont absorbés par les trous 61 du groupement d'emballages se trouvant au-dessus du groupement considéré. Due to the presence of the pins 43, bosses 45 are formed on the upper wall 47 of the end packages 12, 16. If several groups of packages similar to that of FIG. 2 are stacked, these bosses are absorbed by the holes 61 of the packaging group located above the group considered.

I1 va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple illustré par les figures , mais qu'elle s'applique également au groupage d'au moins deux emballages pouvant contenir une, deux, trois ou davantage de couches de plaques, chaque plaque pouvant comprendre un nombre quelconque pair de pots. Les pots peuvent également être indépendants les uns des autres et être disposés en une ou plusieurs couches. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the example illustrated by the figures, but that it also applies to the grouping of at least two packages which may contain one, two, three or more layers of plates, each plate possibly comprising any even number of pots. The pots can also be independent of each other and be arranged in one or more layers.

D'autre part, l'élément de groupage peut être réalisé sous forme de trois pièces indépendantes. Les volets latéraux peuvent alors être approchés latéralement afin d'engager les tenons entre les pots de yaourt.  On the other hand, the grouping element can be produced in the form of three independent parts. The side flaps can then be approached laterally to engage the studs between the yogurt pots.
