Description

ENVELOPPE-ETIQUETTE POUR RECEPTACLES LABEL FOR RECEPTACLES
La présente invention concerne le conditionnement de produits de consommation nécessitant une information du consommateur.The present invention relates to the packaging of consumer products requiring consumer information.
Il peut s'agir, par exemple, de produits d'alimentation dont la préparation doit être effectuée selon une méthode particulière ou selon une recette culinaire préconisée.They can be, for example, food products whose preparation must be carried out according to a particular method or according to a recommended culinary recipe.
Il peut également s'agir de produits chimiques dont la mise en oeuvre s'effectue selon un mode d'emploi spécifique qui nécessite de prendre des précautions d'utilisation édictées par le fabricant.They may also be chemicals, the implementation of which is carried out according to a specific user manual which requires taking the precautions for use laid down by the manufacturer.
Ou encore, il peut s'agir de produits pharmaceutiques, tels les médicaments, qui doivent contenir un certain nombre d'informations réglementaires comme leur composition, les indications, les contre-indications, la posologie, les précautions d'emploi etc.Or, it can be pharmaceutical products, such as drugs, which must contain a certain number of regulatory information such as their composition, indications, contraindications, dosage, precautions for use, etc.
Pour communiquer toutes ces informations à l'utilisateur, il est bien connu de disposer d'un emballage sur lequel figurent la marque et le nom du fabricant du produit ainsi que quelques informations sommaires, toutes les informations spécifiques et détaillées faisant l'objet d'une notice disposée entre le contenant et l'emballage avant fermeture de ce dernier. Ainsi, qu'il s'agisse d'une recette de cuisine, d'un mode d'emploi ou bien encore d'une notice pharmaceutique, l'utilisateur aura la possibilité de prélever et de conserver par devers soi lesdites informations spécifiques, indépendamment du conditionnement du produit. Or, il s'avère que la multiplication des divers éléments précités, à savoir : le contenant du produit, son emballage et sa notice, aboutit à une complexité de fabrication, la rendant conséquemment onéreuse. De plus, la diversité des matériaux utilisés rend leur recyclage impossible de manière simultanée et conduit donc à des opérations distinctes en fonction des matériaux concernés. Il est connu de limiter ces opérations en réalisant un emballage dont le matériau est de même nature que le contenant, par exemple en matière plastique. Il s'agit alors d'une enveloppe constituée par un manchon thermorétractable apte à entourer étroitement au moins une partie du corps du contenant pour former un support d'informations élémentaires et/ou assurer l'immobilisation relative des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture dudit contenant.To communicate all this information to the user, it is well known to have a packaging on which appear the brand and the name of the manufacturer of the product as well as some summary information, all the specific and detailed information being the subject of a notice placed between the container and the packaging before closing the latter. Thus, whether it is a cooking recipe, a user manual or even a pharmaceutical leaflet, the user will be able to collect and store the specific information by themselves, independently packaging of the product. However, it turns out that the multiplication of the various aforementioned elements, namely: the product container, its packaging and its instructions, results in a manufacturing complexity, making it consequently expensive. In addition, the diversity of the materials used makes it impossible to recycle them simultaneously and therefore leads to separate operations depending on the materials concerned. It is known to limit these operations by producing a packaging, the material of which is of the same nature as the container, for example made of plastic. It is then an envelope constituted by a heat-shrinkable sleeve capable of closely surrounding at least one part of the body of the container to form a support for elementary information and / or ensuring the relative immobilization of the opening and closing means. of said container.
Il n'est ainsi que partiellement remédié au problème préalablement posé car, en effet, et cela plus particulièrement dans les conditionnements de petites dimensions, la surface disponible s'avère bien souvent insuffisante.It is thus only partially remedied the problem previously posed because, indeed, and this more particularly in the packages of small dimensions, the available surface proves very often insufficient.
De plus, indépendamment de ce problème d'ordre pratique, " lorsqu'il s'agit de médicament notamment, l'utilisateur a pour habitude de disposer d'une notice qu'il peut emporter avec lui pour se souvenir de la posologie et cela en emmenant une partie de médicament, sans être obligé d'emporter la boîte complète. Il en est de même concernant une recette de cuisine, un mode d'emploi ou toutes autres sortes d'informations que l'on peut souhaiter vouloir détacher du produit pour en disposer librement.In addition, regardless of this practical problem, "when it comes to drugs in particular, the user has the habit of having a leaflet that he can take with him to remember the dosage and this taking a part of the medication, without having to bring the complete box. The same applies to a cooking recipe, a manual or any other kind of information that you may want to detach from the product to dispose of it freely.
C'est ainsi que l'on peut dire que les enveloppes connues sous forme de manchon entourant un contenant s'avèrent souvent d'utilisation limitée quant à la délivrance d'informations nécessaires et de plus ne permettant pas d'en disposer librement en les dissociant de leur support. L'invention a pour but de remédier aux divers inconvénients précités et concerne à cet effet une enveloppe, plus particulièrement destinée à l'emballage d'un contenant renfermant un produit de consommation, du type constitué par un manchon en matière plastique thermorétractable apte à entourer étroitement au moins une partie du corps du contenant pour former un support d'informations élémentaires et/ou assurer l'immobilisation relative des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture dudit contenant, caractérisée en ce que le manchon comporte, en outre, un rabat complémentaire amovible, s'étendant librement par superposition, entre deux génératrices externes de la surface latérale de référence dudit manchon, auquel il est relié par ses deux extrémités latérales de manière détachable, au moins' partiellement, pour délivrer des informations spécifiques supplémentaires qu'il renferme, relatives au produit.Thus we can say that the envelopes known as a sleeve surrounding a container often turn out to be of limited use as regards the supply of necessary information and moreover not allowing it to be freely available by dissociating it from their support. The object of the invention is to remedy the various aforementioned drawbacks and to this end relates to an envelope, more particularly intended for the packaging of a container containing a consumer product, of the type consisting of a sleeve made of heat-shrinkable plastic material capable of surrounding closely at least a part of the body of the container to form a basic information carrier and / or ensure the relative immobilization of the means for opening and closing said container, characterized in that the sleeve comprises, in addition, a complementary flap removable, freely extending by superposition, between two external generators of the lateral reference surface of said sleeve, to which it is connected by its two lateral ends detachably, at least ' partially, to deliver additional specific information which it contains , relating to the product.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, illustrant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, comment l'invention peut être réalisée et dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawings, illustrating, by way of nonlimiting example, how the invention can be performed and in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un contenant emballé avec une enveloppe suivant l'invention;- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container packed with an envelope according to the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue en plan de la surface développée de l'enveloppe selon la figure 1;- Figure 2 is a plan view of the developed surface of the envelope according to Figure 1;
- les figures 3, 4 et 5, sont des vues en bout de l'enveloppe, au cours de trois phases successives de réalisation; - les figures 6 et 7 sont des vues en plan représentant successivement une enveloppe avant et après insertion sur le contenant;- Figures 3, 4 and 5 are end views of the envelope, during three successive phases of production; - Figures 6 and 7 are plan views successively showing an envelope before and after insertion on the container;
- la figure 8 est une vue en plan d'un contenant sur lequel l'enveloppe a été thermoformée;- Figure 8 is a plan view of a container on which the envelope has been thermoformed;
- la figure 9 est une vue en perspective d'un contenant après détachement partiel d'un rabat de l'enveloppe; et- Figure 9 is a perspective view of a container after partial detachment of a flap of the envelope; and
- les figures 10, 11 et 12 montrent des vues en bout d'enveloppes selon des modes différents de présentation des informations. L'enveloppe, désignée globalement par la référence 1 sur les figures est destinée, d'une part, à l'emballage d'un contenant 2 et, d'autre part, à la délivrance d'informations supplémentaires 8 concernant le produit renfermé par ledit contenant 2.- Figures 10, 11 and 12 show end views of envelopes according to different modes of presentation of information. The envelope, generally designated by the reference 1 in the figures, is intended, on the one hand, for the packaging of a container 2 and, on the other hand, for the delivery of additional information 8 concerning the product enclosed by said container 2.
A cet effet, l'enveloppe 1 comprend une première partie, connue en soi, et constituée par un manchon 3 en matière thermorétractable apte à entourer étroitement le corps du contenant 2 pour former un support d'informations élémentaires 9 et assurer éventuellement l'immobilisation des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture, en l'occurrence un bouchon 4, dudit contenant 2. Selon l'invention, l'enveloppe 1 constituée par le manchon 3 comporte en outre une seconde partie formée par un rabat 5 s'étendant librement par superposition entre deux génératrices externes x et y de la surface latérale de* référence dudit manchon 3, auquel il est relié par ses deux extrémités latérales 6 et 7 de manière détachable, au moins partiellement, pour délivrer des informations spécifiques supplémentaires 8 qu'il renferme.To this end, the casing 1 comprises a first part, known per se and constituted by a sleeve 3 of heat-shrink material suitable for closely surrounding the body u containing 2 to form a support 9 of elementary information and possibly ensure immobilization of the opening and closing means, in this case a stopper 4, of said container 2. According to the invention, the casing 1 constituted by the sleeve 3 further comprises a second part formed by a flap 5 extending freely by superposition between two external generatrices x and y of the lateral surface of * reference of said sleeve 3, to which it is connected by its two lateral ends 6 and 7 detachably, at least partially, to deliver additional specific information 8 that it contains.
Comme le montre particulièrement bien la figure 2, l'enveloppe 1 est obtenue à partir d'une feuille de matière plastique thermorétractable d'un seul tenant dont la première partie formant le manchon 3 est constituée par les zones I et II, et dont la deuxième partie III formant le rabat 5 est obtenue d'une seule pièce avec ledit manchon 3 en prolongement d'une des extrémités latérales 6 de la surface développée (I+II) dudit manchon 3.As shown particularly in FIG. 2, the envelope 1 is obtained from a sheet of heat-shrinkable plastic in one piece, the first part of which forms the sleeve 3 consists of zones I and II, and the second part III of which forms the flap 5 is obtained in one piece with said sleeve 3 as an extension of one of the lateral ends 6 of the developed surface (I + II) of said sleeve 3.
La figure 2 montre également des zones A,B,C,D qui sont destinées au thermosoudage lors de la mise en forme de l'enveloppe 1.FIG. 2 also shows zones A, B, C, D which are intended for heat sealing during the shaping of the envelope 1.
C'est ainsi que les zones A et B seront mises en regard l'une de l'autre en vue de leur assemblage pour constituer le manchon 3 et que la zone du rabat 5 sera mise en regard de la zone D du manchon 3 pour réaliser la fermeture dudit rabat 5.This is how the zones A and B will be placed opposite one another with a view to their assembly to constitute the sleeve 3 and that the zone of the flap 5 will be placed opposite the zone D of the sleeve 3 for close said flap 5.
Il est à noter que l'assemblage des zones A-B et C-D peut être effectué successivement ou simultanément. Dans tous les cas, les extrémités latérales du rabat sont reliées au manchon par deux thermosoudures parallèles, l'une d'elles réalisant simultanément la constitution du manchon par fermeture de sa surface latérale de référence sur elle-même.It should be noted that the assembly of zones A-B and C-D can be carried out successively or simultaneously. In all cases, the lateral ends of the flap are connected to the sleeve by two parallel heat seals, one of them simultaneously forming the sleeve by closing its reference lateral surface on itself.
Il est à noter également que les informations élémentaires 9 portées par le manchon 3 sont obligatoirement transcrites dans la zone II car la zone I est recouverte par la zone III formant le rabat 5.It should also be noted that the elementary information 9 carried by the sleeve 3 is necessarily transcribed in zone II because zone I is covered by zone III forming the flap 5.
Ces informations 9 sont bien entendu nécessairement lisibles de l'extérieur une fois le manchon 3 posé sur le contenant 2, mais par contre, les informations 8 pourront être rendues lisibles de l'extérieur ou de l'intérieur. Ceci afin que, dans ce dernier cas, elles restent discrètes, par exemple en ce qui concerne certains médicaments. Il est à préciser que la longueur "L" du rabat 5 constituée par la zone III est volontairement limitée dans des proportions telles à ne pas permettre le recouvrement de la zone II et cela pour une double raison.This information 9 is of course necessarily readable from the outside once the sleeve 3 placed on the container 2, but on the other hand, the information 8 can be made readable from the outside or from the inside. This is so that, in the latter case, they remain discreet, for example with regard to certain drugs. It should be noted that the length "L" of the flap 5 constituted by the zone III is deliberately limited in proportions such as not to allow the overlapping of the zone II and this for two reasons.
La première est à 1'évidence pour éviter que le rabat 5 ne masque les informations portées par ladite zone II du manchon 3. La seconde réside dans le fait qu'il n'est pas souhaitable de chauffer la zone I du manchon 3 recouverte par la zone III du rabat 5, lors de l'opération de thermorétraction, car cela pourrait conduire à une déformation de ce dernier, néfaste aux informations qu'il contient. Il est donc préféré de ne chauffer que la seule zone II, pour assurer le rétreint du manchon 3.The first is obviously to prevent the flap 5 from masking the information carried by said zone II of the sleeve 3. The second resides in the fact that it is not desirable to heat the zone I of the sleeve 3 covered by zone III of the flap 5, during the heat-shrinking operation, as this could lead to a deformation of the latter, harmful to the information it contains. It is therefore preferred to heat only the only zone II, to ensure the shrinking of the sleeve 3.
Comme le montrent les figures 6 et 7, après insertion du manchon 3 sur le contenant 2, l'air chaud est soufflé suivant les directions F sur le pourtour de la zone II. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le rabat est rendu amovible par 1 ' intermédiaire de moyens d'arrachement disposés à proximité d'au moins l'une de ses extrémités latérales. Plus précisément, les moyens aptes à rendre amovible le rabat sont disposés à proximité de chacune des deux thermosoudures, du côté interne de celles-ci. Ces moyens d'arrachement Pi, P2 sont en l'occurrence constitués par deux piqûres latérales. Bien entendu, il pourrait n'y en avoir qu'une seule. ces moyens d'arrachement sont particulièrement bien illustrés sur la figure 9 montrant une première découpe grâce à la piqûre PI, la piqûre P2 étant en cours d'arrachement. On notera que l'enlèvement du rabat 5 n'altère en aucun cas le manchon 3 qui reste en place. Il est évident que le rabat 5 peut aussi être rendu amovible par l'intermédiaire de moyens adhésifs (non représentés) disposés à proximité d'au moins l'une de ses extrémités latérales. Selon un exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 10 et 11, celui-ci diffère essentiellement du précédent en ce que le rabat définit avec le manchon une pochette apte à contenir une notice explicative concernant le produit. Dans ce cas, la pochette définie par le rabat est fermée de tout côtés après introduction de la notice pour constituer à celle-ci une protection hermétique. Néanmoins, comme évoqué précédemment, le rabat 5 peut être imprimé pour constituer une notice explicative en soi.As shown in Figures 6 and 7, after insertion of the sleeve 3 on the container 2, the hot air is blown in the directions F around the periphery of the zone II. According to another characteristic of the invention, the flap is made removable by means of tearing means arranged near at least one of its lateral ends. More specifically, the means able to make the flap removable are arranged near each of the two heat seals, on the internal side of these. These tearing means Pi, P2 are in this case constituted by two lateral punctures. Of course, there could be only one. these tearing means are particularly well illustrated in Figure 9 showing a first cut through the PI sting, the P2 sting being torn. Note that the removal of the flap 5 does not in any way alter the sleeve 3 which remains in place. It is obvious that the flap 5 can also be made removable by means of adhesive means (not shown) arranged near at least one of its lateral ends. According to an exemplary embodiment shown in Figures 10 and 11, it differs essentially from the previous one in that the flap defines with the sleeve a pouch capable of containing an explanatory note concerning the product. In this case, the pocket defined by the flap is closed on all sides after introduction of the instructions to constitute an airtight protection to it. However, as mentioned above, the flap 5 can be printed to constitute an explanatory note per se.
Selon l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure 12, la surface interne du rabat est solidaire d'un pli d'extrémité d'une notice explicative repliée sur elle-même. En l'occurrence, la notice 12 est repliée sur elle-même en accordéon.According to the embodiment shown in Figure 12, the inner surface of the flap is secured to an end fold of an explanatory note folded back on itself. In this case, leaflet 12 is folded back on itself in an accordion.
Le pli d'extrémité 12a de la notice 12 "peut être solidarisé du rabat 5A par thermosoudure simultanément à l'assemblage des zones C-D ou bien encore par collage dans ladite zone C du rabat 5A. Egalement, une variante pourrait consister à rapporter la notice 12 sur la face interne 5a du rabat 5A d'une enveloppe 1A par des moyens adhésifs pelables (non représentés) . Enfin, il est à préciser que pour atteindre l'un des buts fixés par l'invention, l'enveloppe 1 ou 1A est constituée en un matériau de même nature que le contenant (2) de manière à rendre compatible leur recyclage simultané. Mieux encore, l'enveloppe 1 ou 1A est constituée en un matériau de même nature que le contenant et la notice explicative de manière à rendre leur recyclage simultané.The end fold 12a of the manual 12 "can be secured to the flap 5A by heat sealing simultaneously with the assembly of the CD zones or else by gluing in said zone C of the flap 5A. Also, a variant could consist in bringing the manual back 12 on the inner face 5a of the flap 5A of an envelope 1A by peelable adhesive means (not shown) Finally, it should be noted that to achieve one of the aims set by the invention, the envelope 1 or 1A is made of a material of the same kind as the container (2) so as to make their simultaneous recycling compatible. Better still, the envelope 1 or 1A is made of a material of the same kind as the container and the information leaflet so as to make their recycling simultaneous.
C'est ainsi que l'on peut dire d'une manière plus détaillée que le contenant 2 et son bouchon 4, le manchon 3 constituant son emballage, le rabat 5 ou 5A renfermant la notice il ou 12, la notice 11 ou 12 elle-même, sont de même nature et conséquemment recyclables simultanément. Thus we can say in more detail that the container 2 and its stopper 4, the sleeve 3 constituting its packaging, the flap 5 or 5A containing the notice il or 12, the notice 11 or 12 it -same, are of the same nature and consequently recyclable simultaneously.
