Abstract

The bag has a lining (6) which is sewn to its wall (2) with parallel transverse seams (7), forming pockets (3) for bottles (5). It may be designed like a conventional bag or as a strip which can be rolled up.

Description

I The subject of the present invention is a type of multi-cell bag

  intended for the handling of various objects and in particular of bottles, empty or full. Recycling such relatively fragile glass objects poses the problem of transporting them under conditions ensuring their preservation. For large volumes, these bottles are generally placed in bottle transport boxes, rigid boxes with multiple internal compartments made of wood or plastic. This packaging is ill-suited for empty bottles. Designed to contain full bottles, therefore of a certain weight, it is oversized for relatively lighter empty bottles. Furthermore, its rigidity, necessary for full bottles, does not facilitate handling which is made particularly noisy with a load of

  bottles not wedged in their respective compartments.

  The bag structure according to the invention makes it possible to respond to the problem of handling empty or full bottles, including in small quantities, without having to resort to heavy, rigid and bulky boxes, by eliminating the noise pollution resulting from the handling of this type of packaging containing glassware and while remaining low cost

  and great ease of handling when empty by its flexibility and compactness.

  To this end, the invention relates to a bag structure of flexible material, the walls of which have an internal lining strip also of flexible material, made integral with the bag wall along parallel lines spaced apart so as to form cellular envelopes. between each parallel joining line, open to at least one

  end and allowing the introduction of objects to handle such as bottles.

  According to an exemplary embodiment, a bag made of flexible material according to the invention, which can be applied to the handling of bottles, will have two external walls with an internal lining strip also made of flexible material, integral with the wall of the bag along parallel lines substantially vertical spaced so as to form on each wall at least three cellular envelopes, the external walls being secured to a bottom and to walls

  ends and provided with gripping handles in the middle of their upper edge.

  There is thus a bag whose internal cells thus formed can receive at least six bottles, depending on the number of cells provided, which will be easy to transport and in silence, in the absence of contact of bottles with any hard object. The bags thus produced in low-cost material such as wrapping paper, plastic sheet or other materials which can be used in lost packaging, in particular in recyclable materials, which gives them great flexibility of distribution and 'use. According to a variant of the invention, the bag structure of flexible material will consist of a continuous wall forming a rollable strip lined with a continuous internal lining strip also of flexible material and made integral with the continuous wall along parallel lines transverse spaced so as to form a succession of alveolar envelopes individual receptacles of objects to be transported such as bottles, empty or full, gripping handles being arranged at regular intervals on the upper edge of the rollable strip whose face opposite to the doubling comprises over its entire length a fastening strip with multiple hooks called "velcro" fastening by pressure on a complementary strip with multiple wire loops arranged parallel to the same level and at

the opposite on the backing strip.

  After having filled the cells with the number of bottles desired for transport, it will suffice to wind the continuous strip of bottles on itself in a winding as tight as possible, causing the hooking of the "velcro" strips complementary to the strip 20 and the lining and assembly of the bottles placed in the cells in a homogeneous block transportable like a bag by the gripping handles protruding from the rolled upper edge. This "roll-up" bag can be adapted to different types and quantities of objects to be transported while remaining easily retrievable when empty in the form of a roll with low weight and size. Total or partial compartmentalization of bag envelopes of all shapes and contents can also be obtained by placing inside an appropriate length of

  alveolar strip with vertically oriented alveoli.

  The implementation of bags according to the invention will be described more precisely below, with reference to the accompanying drawings:

  - Figure 1 shows a schematic example of the external appearance of a bag of the consumable type, in this example with six cells for the transport of six bottles.

  - Figure 2 is a schematic top view of the same bag, showing the arrangement

  six cells and handling handles.

  - Figure 3 shows in perspective view a bag model of the type "rollable" during

  loading it into bottles in the cells.

  - Figure 4 shows in a schematic top view the winding arrangement

  for transporting a block of twenty bottles.

  FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a bag with multiple cells according to the invention, provided with handling handles 1 made up of flexible bands, the ends of which are secured to the external envelope of the bag 2 which can be made of strong paper d packaging or film 10 or flexible heat-sealable plastic canvas, this envelope containing six substantially vertical cells 3 for receiving, for example, six empty bottles resting on the bottom of the cell or, in the case of cells not closed at their base, directly on the bottom of the envelope 2 of the bag and isolated from each other by the internal lining of the cell walls 3. The

  side surfaces 4 of the envelopes 2 can conventionally receive any inscriptions 15 identifying the products contained or brands, etc.

  The internal walls of cells may be produced by conventional compartmentalization, as it appears in FIGS. I and 2, or in the form of a continuous strip integral with the wall of the bag along parallel lines 7 which are substantially vertical and spaced apart. to form on each wall three cellular envelopes. This solution uses a little more than 20 materials for compartmentalization, but it has the advantage of doubling the thickness of material separating the objects or bottles in two contiguous cells, with therefore better

shock insulation.

  Figure 2 shows the same bag with six bottles 5 in top view. Such a bag, used in recyclable lost packaging will be particularly suitable for operations to recover empty bottles from individuals by large retailers and traders. Each bag, once filled, behaves like a block with easy handling,

  silent and practically without additional weight to that of the bottles.

  FIG. 3 shows a more flexible variant as regards the number of objects to be handled o the envelope 2 is in the form of a continuous wall such as a braided plastic fabric 12 forming a rollable strip lined on one side a doubling strip 6 also continues in flexible material and made integral with the continuous wall 2 by welds or bondings 7 along transverse parallel lines spaced so as to form, with a closure of one end, a succession of alveolar envelopes 3 , individual receptacles for objects to be transported such as bottles. The welding zone or: bonding 7 will be provided wide enough to allow the tape to be wound when the objects

  or bottles to be handled are placed in their cells.

  Gripping handles 1 are arranged at regular intervals on the upper edge of the rollable strip 2, the face opposite to the lining comprises over its entire length a fastening strip with multiple hooks called "velcro" 8 fastening by pressure on a strip complementary to multiple wire loops 9 arranged parallel to the same level and opposite to the lining tape 6. A portion of hanging tape 8 will be provided at the end of the complementary tape 9 to facilitate the initiation of initial winding , before

  the opposite face of the strip 2, with its velcro strip 8, has not closed on the strip 15 of complementary grip 9 of the backing strip 6.

  The bag thus formed is empty in the form of a flexible roller held by the adhesion of the two complementary velcro strips thus brought into contact. The filling is done by the progressive unwinding of the strip and the placing of the bottles in the cells thus freed, as it appears in FIG. 3. The end 11 of the strip provided with 20 bottles is in turn wound with a certain tightening to ensure good adhesion of the faces of the additional velcro strips 8 and 9 brought into contact again. The result is, at the end of the operation, a winding of bottles forming a compact and silent block, practically limited to the weight of the bottles. A vacuum tape winding will remain

  possibly on the side wall of the block thus formed if all the cells of the handling strip have not been used.

  Figure 4 shows in schematic top view an example of such a winding for

  form a block of twenty bottles, along a winding line 10.

  The multi-cell roll-up bag thus formed therefore makes it possible, with very little bulk and weight, to provide very flexible, by adapting to the number of pieces to be transported, the silent handling of empty or full bottles, by replacing

  advantageously the rigid boxes currently used, but poorly suited for this use.
