This device allows the end user to easily remove, and without risk of damaging the cup or spilling its contents, a protective film that has acted as a barrier to various contaminations, such as viruses or bacteria projected by sputters or deposited when handling with the fingers, even after filling the cup. The set is compatible with optimized stacked packaging and allows the use of recyclable and compostable materials. Its manufacturing process makes it possible to model, by thermoforming, a thin strip, initially flat, into a film that takes the shape of a disposable cup, without using bonding or welding techniques.

Description

Gobelet jetable doté d’une pellicule hygiénique détachable et jetable, et son procédé de fabricationDisposable cup with tear-off and disposable hygienic film, and method of making same

L’invention se rapporte à un dispositif de gobelet jetable à usage alimentaire (boissons) avec pellicule de protection hygiénique détachable et jetable, et au procédé de fabrication associé.The invention relates to a disposable cup device for food (drinks) use with a removable and disposable hygienic protective film, and to the associated manufacturing method.

Les gobelets jetables traditionnels conditionnés en pile (emboîtés les uns dans les autres), une fois retirés de leur emballage d’usine, sont exposés aux contaminations d’agents pathogènes (virus, bactéries), ou à d’autres corps étrangers ou molécules toxiques. La partie des gobelets en contact avec les lèvres de l’utilisateur final est particulièrement exposée, lorsque les gobelets sont encore empilés et durant leur distribution ou usage. Ces souillures peuvent être dues au contact direct avec les doigts ou par dépôt par aérosol ou postillons. Par ailleurs, quand les opérations de déconditionnement, de manipulation et de distribution sont réalisées par un tiers, même si un soin particulier est appliqué et qu’aucune contamination n’est réellement présente, l’utilisateur final ne peut en avoir la garantie immédiate et être ainsi rassuré d’utiliser un produit non souillé.Traditional disposable cups packaged in stacks (nested one inside the other), once removed from their factory packaging, are exposed to contamination from pathogens (viruses, bacteria), or other foreign bodies or toxic molecules . The part of the cups in contact with the lips of the end user is particularly exposed, when the cups are still stacked and during their distribution or use. These stains can be due to direct contact with the fingers or by deposit by aerosol or sputter. Moreover, when the unpacking, handling and distribution operations are carried out by a third party, even if special care is applied and no contamination is actually present, the end user cannot have an immediate and be reassured to use an unsoiled product.

Les gobelets jetables traditionnels ensachés (individuellement, avec un sachet plastique ou papier) peuvent offrir cette protection, et garantir l’hygiène du produit à l’utilisateur final, mais sont difficilement compatibles avec un conditionnement industriel optimisé, par emboîtement, et nécessitent dans tous les cas une manipulation à deux mains pour retirer le gobelet du sachet, propice aux contaminations indésirables.Traditional bagged disposable cups (individually, with a plastic or paper bag) can offer this protection, and guarantee the hygiene of the product to the end user, but are not easily compatible with optimized industrial packaging, by interlocking, and require in all cases a manipulation with two hands to remove the cup from the bag, conducive to undesirable contamination.

Des gobelets jetables, sur lesquels un couvercle muni d’une ouverture est ajouté après le remplissage, existent et permettent d’éviter le contact des lèvres sur le gobelet, mais là encore, rien ne permet de garantir à l’utilisateur final que le gobelet qu’on lui propose ainsi n’a pas été contaminé avant la mise en place du couvercle, voire que le couvercle lui-même n’a pas été contaminé.Disposable cups, on which a lid provided with an opening is added after filling, exist and make it possible to avoid contact of the lips on the cup, but here again, nothing makes it possible to guarantee to the end user that the cup offered to him in this way has not been contaminated before the cover is put in place, or even that the cover itself has not been contaminated.

Par ailleurs, il existe des gobelets jetables munis d’une pellicule plane collée ou soudée sur l’ouverture du gobelet, mais qui ne protège pas toute la partie du gobelet en contact avec les lèvres de l’utilisateur final et qui ne permet pas un conditionnement industriel optimisé, par empilage.Furthermore, there are disposable cups provided with a flat film glued or welded to the opening of the cup, but which does not protect the entire part of the cup in contact with the lips of the end user and which does not allow optimized industrial packaging, by stacking.

D’autres types de gobelets jetables proposent une membrane amovible épousant la forme du gobelet, combinée à un système complexe de compartiments déformables nécessitant un soudage à chaud dans le fond du gobelet, ce qui ne permet pas un retrait facile de la membrane. Par ailleurs, il est nécessaire de retirer cette membrane avant le remplissage du gobelet, ce qui laisse la surface en contact avec les lèvres du consommateur exposée pendant les phases de remplissage et distribution.Other types of disposable cups offer a removable membrane that conforms to the shape of the cup, combined with a complex system of crushable compartments requiring heat sealing in the bottom of the cup, which does not allow easy removal of the membrane. Moreover, it is necessary to remove this membrane before filling the cup, which leaves the surface in contact with the consumer's lips exposed during the filling and dispensing phases.

Enfin, un brevet a été déposé pour un dispositif en forme de couronne qui viendrait s’insérer sur la partie haute et couvrir ainsi la zone du gobelet en contact avec les lèvres. Cet anneau aurait toutefois besoin d’être réalisé dans une matière suffisamment élastique pour permettre la forte extension requise pour l’insertion et le relâchement afin d’épouser la forme du gobelet. Les gobelets jetables étant fragiles par nature, cette opération ne semble pas être compatible et industrialisable. Cette élasticité impose l’usage de matériaux élastomères pour réaliser ledit dispositif et exclut ainsi tout usage du papier qui pourrait être recyclé et recyclable. Par ailleurs, la possibilité d’équiper ce dispositif d’un film imprégné de substance désinfectante suggère que le dispositif doit être suffisamment épais pour recevoir ledit film et exercer une pression homogène sur toute la surface du gobelet. Une telle épaisseur ne permet pas un conditionnement optimisé des gobelets, car les gobelets munis de ce dispositif seraient limités dans leur empilage les uns dans les autres. D’autre part, le retrait de ce dispositif, du bas vers le haut, nécessiterait un effort certain risquant d’abimer le gobelet, voire de faire se renverser le contenu liquide si l’anneau n’a pas été retiré au préalable avant le remplissage du gobelet. Or il est dommage de devoir retirer le dispositif de protection hygiénique avant le remplissage car des risques de contamination sont toujours possibles même après remplissage.Finally, a patent has been filed for a device in the shape of a crown which would be inserted on the upper part and thus cover the area of the cup in contact with the lips. This ring, however, would need to be made of a material that was elastic enough to allow the strong extension required for insertion and release to conform to the shape of the cup. Disposable cups being fragile by nature, this operation does not seem to be compatible and industrializable. This elasticity requires the use of elastomeric materials to make said device and thus excludes any use of paper that could be recycled and recyclable. Furthermore, the possibility of equipping this device with a film impregnated with a disinfectant substance suggests that the device must be thick enough to receive said film and exert uniform pressure over the entire surface of the cup. Such a thickness does not allow optimized packaging of the cups, since the cups provided with this device would be limited in their stacking one inside the other. On the other hand, the removal of this device, from the bottom upwards, would require a certain effort risking damaging the cup, or even spilling the liquid contents if the ring was not removed beforehand before the cup filling. However, it is unfortunate to have to remove the hygienic protection device before filling because risks of contamination are always possible even after filling.

Ainsi, et à titre d’exemple, il n’existe à ce jour aucune application industrielle de gobelets jetables permettant aux participants à une réception ou séminaire, d’avoir la certitude que les gobelets vides mis à leur disposition, soit toujours empilés, soit prédisposés individuellement, sont exempts de contaminations à l’endroit où ils vont y poser leurs lèvres.Thus, and by way of example, to date there is no industrial application of disposable cups allowing participants at a reception or seminar to be certain that the empty cups made available to them, either always stacked, or individually predisposed, are free from contamination where they will lay their lips.

Tout comme il n’existe à ce jour aucune application industrielle de gobelets jetables permettant aux passagers d’un avion de ligne d’avoir une boisson servie dans des gobelets exempts de contamination par contact ou aérosol quand ils les récupèrent de la main du personnel de bord (les gobelets ont pu être contaminés lorsqu’ils étaient encore empilés, par contact ou postillons, ou bien souillés par contact du personnel au moment du remplissage et de la distribution).Just as there is to date no industrial application of disposable cups allowing passengers on an airliner to have a drink served in cups free of contamination by contact or aerosol when they recover them from the hand of the personnel of board (the cups could have been contaminated when they were still stacked, by contact or sputtering, or soiled by contact with personnel during filling and distribution).

La présente invention propose une solution à ces problèmes. L’invention se présente, selon une première caractéristique et , comme un dispositif de gobelet jetable (1) muni d’une pellicule de protection détachable et jetable épousant la forme du gobelet (2) et couvrant uniquement sa partie supérieure sur ses faces interne et externe, caractérisé en ce que cette pellicule est de fine épaisseur de masse surfacique comprise entre 30 et 50gr/m², idéalement en papier sulfurisé ou autre matériau biodégradable et compostable, et en ce qu’elle est retirable par un mouvement circulaire simple et rapide en tirant sur l’extrémité apparente de la pellicule , et en ce que le retrait nécessite peu d’effort, la pellicule n’étant ni soudée ni collée mais modelée par thermoformage. La finesse de la pellicule permet un conditionnement empilé optimisé et son mode de retrait circulaire et de faible effort réduit considérablement le risque d’abimer le gobelet ou d’en renverser son contenu.The present invention provides a solution to these problems. The invention presents itself, according to a first characteristic And , such as a disposable cup device (1) provided with a detachable and disposable protective film matching the shape of the cup (2) and covering only its upper part on its internal and external faces, characterized in that this film is of thin thickness of surface mass between 30 and 50gr/m², ideally made of parchment paper or other biodegradable and compostable material, and in that it can be removed by a simple and rapid circular movement by pulling on the visible end of the film , and in that the removal requires little effort, the film being neither welded nor glued but shaped by thermoforming. The thinness of the film allows for optimized stacked packaging and its circular and low-effort removal method considerably reduces the risk of damaging the cup or spilling its contents.

Le procédé permettant cela consiste, dans un mode particulier de réalisation, en l’enroulement d’une bande, initialement plane, autour de la partie externe supérieure du gobelet , jusqu’à ce que ses deux extrémités se chevauchent une fois totalement enroulée , à l’humidification de la partie externe de la bande par dépôt d’eau déminéralisée , ceci quand la bande est faite de papier, au rabattage de la bande dans la partie interne supérieure du gobelet grâce à un système de doigts articulés, et enfin au modelage mécanique, avec apport de chaleur, par poinçon et matrice reprenant les formes en négatif du gobelet , afin de former une pellicule épousant les formes du gobelet qui peut être retirée par simple déroulage en tirant sur l’extrémité apparente de la bande.The method allowing this consists, in a particular embodiment, of winding a strip, initially flat, around the upper external part of the cup , until its two ends overlap when fully rolled up , to the humidification of the outer part of the strip by depositing demineralized water , this when the band is made of paper, by folding the band into the upper internal part of the cup thanks to a system of articulated fingers, and finally to mechanical modelling, with heat input, by punch and die taking up the negative shapes of the cup , in order to form a film matching the shapes of the cup which can be removed by simply unrolling by pulling on the visible end of the strip.

Un autre mode de réalisation du procédé consiste en l’enroulement d’une bande, initialement plane, jusqu’à ce que ses deux extrémités se chevauchent une fois totalement enroulée , dans un support conique recevant ensuite un gobelet nu puis au rabattage de la bande dans la partie interne supérieure du gobelet et au modelage mécanique, avec apport de chaleur, par poinçon et matrice reprenant les formes en négatif du gobelet .Another embodiment of the method consists of rolling up a strip, initially flat, until its two ends overlap once completely rolled up. , in a conical support then receiving a bare cup and then folding the band into the upper internal part of the cup and mechanical modelling, with heat input, by punch and die taking up the negative shapes of the cup .

Le dispositif ainsi obtenu est simple d’utilisation, compatible avec un conditionnement par empilage , et protège des dépôts d’agents pathogènes toute la zone du gobelet en contact avec les lèvres de l’utilisateur final lors du déconditionnement, de la manipulation et même du remplissage et de la distribution, jusqu’au retrait de la pellicule. Il ne requiert que peu de matière supplémentaire pour sa réalisation et permet l’utilisation de papier recyclé, ce qui limite considérablement l’impact écologique.The device thus obtained is easy to use, compatible with packaging by stacking , and protects against pathogen deposits the entire area of the cup in contact with the lips of the end user during unpacking, handling and even filling and dispensing, until the film is removed. It requires little additional material for its realization and allows the use of recycled paper, which considerably limits the ecological impact.
