Abstract

Device for carrying and opening a small flexible sealed individual package containing a product. The invention relates to a device for carrying this type of package and opening the contents without damaging them. The device consists of a case (1) that can be opened and closed along its base hinged at (2) along an axis (3) and remain closed by fitting engagement at (4). The axis (3) passes through a cavity for receiving the package. The flattened edges of the package rest on a plate (7) which has, on its upper portion, an antislip surface (8) pierced at (9) near axis (3). Two flaps (12) connected on hinge (13) to the case (19) on either side of the axis (3) overlay the cavity. The device protects the package during transport. The inner wall (14) of the hinged flaps (12) includes an antislip projection (15), one of the hinged flaps comprising a lug (16). When the user presses the hinged flaps (12) onto the case (1), the projections (15) abutt the antislip surface (8), trapping thereon the upper flattened edge of the package, while the lug (16) that extends into the hole (9), pierces it. When the user opens the case (1) at its base hinged at (2), the package tears and release its contents. The device of the invention is useful in particular for carrying a condom, which can be safely removed from its individual package.

Description

Dispositif pour transporter et ouvrir un petit emballage individuel souple, hermétique, contenant un produit. Device for transporting and opening a small individual flexible, hermetic package containing a product.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour transporter et ouvrir un type de petit emballage individuel, hermétique, habituellement constitué de fines couches de plastique, d'aluminium et de papier, accolées, contenant un produit. Le dispositif selon l'invention est plus particulièrement destiné à permettre le transport et l'extraction d'un préservatif de ce type d'emballage.The present invention relates to a device for transporting and opening a type of small individual package, hermetic, usually consisting of thin layers of plastic, aluminum and paper, joined, containing a product. The device according to the invention is more particularly intended to allow the transport and the extraction of a condom from this type of packaging.
L'ouverture dudit emballage est traditionnellement effectuée manuellement et demande une certaine minutie et quelques précautions. En effet, son pourtour, que doit saisir l'utilisateur pour l'ouvrir, est étroit et ne laisse pas beaucoup de place pour les doigts. L'emballage offre également une certaine résistance pendant sa déchirure et a tendance à se tordre sous l'effort, aussi, le latex peut venir au contact des ongles et être endommagé. Par ailleurs, l'emballage pendant son transport peut subir des dommages au contact d'objets pointus ou coupants, ou par froissement.The opening of said packaging is traditionally done manually and requires a certain meticulousness and some precautions. Indeed, its periphery, which the user must grasp to open it, is narrow and does not leave much room for the fingers. The packaging also offers some resistance during tearing and tends to twist under stress, so the latex can come into contact with the nails and be damaged. In addition, the packaging during transport may be damaged by contact with sharp or sharp objects, or by wrinkling.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, un boîtier qui s'ouvre et se ferme sur sa base articulée selon un axe. Ce boîtier peut être maintenu en position fermée par emboîtement. Ledit axe traverse une cavité dans laquelle peut être introduit l'emballage. La cavité dispose d'un fond prévu pour recevoir le renflement postérieur de l'emballage et d'une plate-forme destinée à asseoir les bords aplatis de l'emballage. La plate-forme présente dans sa partie supérieure une surface antidérapante qui est trouée en un endroit , à proximité de l'axe. Un pourtour en saillie encadre cette plate-forme. Deux battants sont articulés sur ledit pourtour, de part et d'autre de l'axe et recouvrent la cavité. Ils peuvent être articulés côte à côte sur la partie inférieure du pourtour, ou, en vis à vis sur ses parties latérales. Les battants disposent, sur leur paroi interne d'une saillie dont la surface est antidérapante. L'une des saillies est muni d'un ergot positionné de façon à pouvoir rentrer dans le trou de la plate-forme. Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur les battants, les saillies viennent en butée contre la surface antidérapante de la plate-forme coinçant contre elle le bord aplati supérieur de l'emballage, tandis que l'ergot, en rentrant dans le trou de la plate¬ forme, le perfore. Maintenant son action, l'utilisateur, en ouvrant le boîtier sur sa base articulée déchire l'emballage qui libère son contenu. La surface antidérapante de la plate-forme et celle des saillies ont permis d'éviter que ne ripent contre elles le bord aplati supérieur de l'emballage pendant sa déchirure, et l'ergot, en le perforant, a facilité cette déchirure.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. According to a first characteristic, it comprises a housing which opens and closes on its base articulated along an axis. This housing can be kept in the closed position by interlocking. Said axis passes through a cavity into which the packaging can be introduced. The cavity has a bottom intended to receive the posterior bulge of the packaging and a platform intended to sit the flattened edges of the packaging. The platform has in its upper part a non-slip surface which is perforated in a place, near the axis. A projecting perimeter frames this platform. Two leaves are articulated on said periphery, on either side of the axis and cover the cavity. They can be articulated side by side on the lower part of the perimeter, or, facing each other on its lateral parts. The leaves have a projection on their internal wall, the surface of which is non-slip. One of the projections is provided with a lug positioned so as to be able to enter the hole in the platform. Thus, when the user presses on the flaps, the projections come into abutment against the non-slip surface of the platform wedging against it the upper flattened edge of the package, while the lug, entering the hole of the platform, perforates it. Now its action, the user, by opening the case on its articulated base, tears the packaging which releases its content. The non-slip surface of the platform and that of the projections made it possible to prevent the flattened edge of the package from riping against them during its tearing, and the lug, by perforating it, facilitated this tearing.

La cavité dispose, d'une part, d'un fond (5) prévu pour recevoir le renflement (6) postérieu de l'emballage et, d'autre part, d'une plate-forme (7) qui comporte dans sa partie supérieure une surfac antidérapante (8) trouée en (9) à proximité de l'axe (3). La plate-forme (7) est prévue pour asseoir le bords aplatis (10) de l'emballage. Un pourtour (11) en saillie encadre cette plate - forme (7) . DeuWith reference to these drawings, the device comprises a housing (1) which opens and closes with its center on its articulated base at (2), in the direction of its width along an axis (3). The housing (1) is held in the closed position by fitting in (4). The axis (3) passes through a cavity into which the packaging is introduced. The cavity has, on the one hand, a bottom (5) intended to receive the bulge (6) posterior of the packaging and, on the other hand, a platform (7) which comprises in its part upper a non-slip surface (8) perforated in (9) near the axis (3). The platform (7) is designed to seat the flat edges (10) of the package. A projecting periphery (11) frames this platform (7). Deu
...A. battants (12) sont reliés par une articulation (13) au boîtier (1). Ils sont articulés sur le pourtour (11) de part et d'autre de l'axe (3) et recouvrent la cavité. Ils disposent sur leur paroi interne (14), dans leur partie supérieure, d'une saillie (15), dont la surface est antidérapante. L'une des deux saillies (15) présente un ergot (16) positionné de façon à pouvoir rentrer dans le trou (θ)....AT. leaves (12) are connected by a hinge (13) to the housing (1). They are articulated on the periphery (11) on either side of the axis (3) and cover the cavity. They have on their internal wall (14), in their upper part, a projection (15), the surface of which is non-slip. One of the two projections (15) has a lug (16) positioned so as to be able to enter the hole (θ).
- Dans la forme de réalisation selon les figures 1 et 2 , les battants (12) sont articulés côte à côte sur la partie inférieure du pourtour (11). Ces derniers permettent à l'utilisateur, en position relevée, de positionner à plat l'emballage dans la cavité. En position rabaissée le fond de leur paroi interne (14) reçoit le renflement (6) antérieur de l'emballage. Les battants (12) sont alors encastrés et légèrement emboîtés dans le pourtour (11) et recouvrent la cavité. Le dispositif permet ainsi, à l'utilisateur, de protéger l'emballage pendant son transport.- In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2, the leaves (12) are articulated side by side on the lower part of the periphery (11). These allow the user, in the raised position, to position the packaging flat in the cavity. In the lowered position, the bottom of their internal wall (14) receives the anterior bulge (6) of the packaging. The leaves (12) are then recessed and slightly fitted into the periphery (11) and cover the cavity. The device thus allows the user to protect the packaging during transport.
Au moment d'ouvrir cet emballage, l'utilisateur va exercer une pression sur les battants (12), les saillies (15) vont venir en butée contre la surface antidérapante (8), coinçant contre elle, le bord aplati (10) supérieur de l'emballage, tandis que l'ergot (16), en rentrant dans le trou (9), va le perforer. Maintenant son effort, l'utilisateur en ouvrant le boîtier (1) sur sa base articulée en (2), déchire l'emballage qui libère son contenu.When opening this packaging, the user will exert pressure on the leaves (12), the projections (15) will abut against the non-slip surface (8), wedging against it, the flattened edge (10) upper of the packaging, while the lug (16), entering the hole (9), will perforate it. Now his effort, the user by opening the box (1) on its hinged base in (2), tears the packaging which releases its content.
Le boîtier (1) comporte, dans sa partie supérieure, des encoches (17) situées sur les bords jointifs du pourtour (11) et des battants (12). Elles permettent à l'utilisateur, en s'aidant de ses ongles ou d'un petit objet plat, de relever les battants (12) du boîtier (1) afin d'enlever l'emballage usagé.The housing (1) has, in its upper part, notches (17) situated on the contiguous edges of the periphery (11) and of the leaves (12). They allow the user, using his nails or a small flat object, to raise the leaves (12) of the housing (1) in order to remove the used packaging.
Selon une variante non illustrée, propre à cette forme de réalisation, l'articulation des battants peut être pourvue d'un système de rappel qui tend à ramener et à plaquer ces derniers contre la cavité.According to a variant not illustrated, specific to this embodiment, the hinge of the leaves can be provided with a return system which tends to bring back and press them against the cavity.
- Dans la forme de réalisation selon les figures 3, 4, 5 et 6 l'emballage est introduit dans la cavité par un orifice (18) situé sur l'une des petites faces latérales du boîtier (1). Une fois introduit dans la cavité, un bord aplati (10) latéral de l'emballage dépasse de l'orifice (18). Cet orifice (18) a une forme qui correspond à celle de l'emballage, une fois replié son bord aplati (10) inférieur contre son renflement (6). Cette pliure évite que ne se rompe l'emballage en deux parties distinctes lors de sa déchirure.- In the embodiment according to Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 the package is introduced into the cavity through an orifice (18) located on one of the small side faces of the housing (1). Once introduced into the cavity, a flattened edge (10) lateral to the packaging projects from the orifice (18). This orifice (18) has a shape which corresponds to that of the packaging, once its flattened edge (10) is folded back against its bulge (6). This fold prevents the packaging from breaking into two separate parts when it is torn.
L'emballage est guidé dans sa trajectoire, sur toute la longueur de la cavité, par une cloison (19) située entre la cavité et les battants (12). Elle est traversée par l'axe (3). Sa forme prolonge celle de l'orificeThe packaging is guided in its path, over the entire length of the cavity, by a partition (19) located between the cavity and the leaves (12). It is crossed by the axis (3). Its shape extends that of the orifice
(18) et sa paroi interne est prévue pour recevoir le renflement (6) antérieur de l'emballage. Cette cloison(18) and its internal wall is provided to receive the anterior bulge (6) of the packaging. This partition
(19) présente une découpe (20), située dans sa partie supérieure, au niveau de la surface antidérapante (8) et des saillies (15).(19) has a cutout (20), located in its upper part, at the level of the non-slip surface (8) and the projections (15).
Les ressorts (21) interposés entre la paroi externe de la cloison (19) et la paroi interne (14) des battants (12) tendent à relever l'ergot (16) et les saillies (15) du bord aplati (10) supérieur de l'emballage.The springs (21) interposed between the outer wall of the partition (19) and the inner wall (14) of the leaves (12) tend to raise the lug (16) and the projections (15) of the flattened edge (10) upper of the packaging.
....... Sous l'action des ressorts (21) les battants (12) viennent en butée, en position de repos, contre le rebords (22)........ Under the action of the springs (21) the leaves (12) abut, in the rest position, against the flanges (22).
Un couvercle (23), relié par une articulation (24) au boîtier (1), vient recouvrir l'orifice (18) et le bor aplati (10) latéral de l'emballage.A cover (23), connected by a hinge (24) to the housing (1), covers the orifice (18) and the flattened bor (10) lateral to the packaging.
II est préférable que l'emballage ne soit pas rompu en deux parties distinctes après sa déchirure, ce pour faciliter son évacuation en un seul tenant au niveau de l'axe (3), boîtier (1) ouvert. Aussi, pour contribuer, la partie inférieure des battants (12) est située au-dessus de la base de la cavité, et l'erg (16) est positionné sur la partie du boîtier (1) présentant l'orifice (18). L'utilisateur peut ainsi, au cas o l'emballage serait malgré tout rompu en deux parties, en extraire une en tirant sur le bord aplati (1 latéral qui dépasse de l'orifice (18) et extraire l'autre au niveau de l'axe (3), boîtier (1) ouvert.It is preferable that the packaging is not broken into two separate parts after it has been torn, in order to facilitate its evacuation in one piece at the level of the axis (3), case (1) open.
