EMBALLAGE ET CONDITIONNEMENT D'OBJETS FRAGILES PACKAGING AND PACKAGING OF FRAGILE OBJECTS
PRESENTANT UNE FORME GENERALE CYLINDRIQUE.HAVING A GENERAL CYLINDRICAL FORM.
La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'emballage et du conditionnement, et en particulier le domaine du conditionnement d'objets fragiles présentant une forme générale cylindrique.The present invention relates to the field of packaging and packaging, and in particular to the field of packaging fragile objects having a generally cylindrical shape.
L'invention concerne tout particulièrement le domaine des « ampouliers », qui sont des trousses de conditionnement pour le transport d'ampoules et de flacons pharmaceutiques. Ces trousses sont utilisées parfois dans des conditions extrêmes, en particulier pour la médecine d'urgence. Ces trousses sont, dans l'état de la technique, constituées par des coffrets rigides garnis avec un matériau absorbant les chocs . Ces conditionnements ne sont pas totalement satisfaisants. Ils ne protègent pas de façon suffisamment efficace les ampoules contre les chocs. Par ailleurs, ils ne sont pas bien adaptés à la médecine d'urgence, nécessitant outre la résistance au choc une grande ergonomie, et une facilité d'accès maximale.The invention particularly relates to the field of "ampoules", which are packaging kits for the transport of ampoules and pharmaceutical vials. These kits are sometimes used in extreme conditions, especially for emergency medicine. These kits are, in the prior art, constituted by rigid boxes filled with a shock absorbing material. These conditions are not entirely satisfactory. They do not protect the bulbs sufficiently against impact. Furthermore, they are not well suited to emergency medicine, requiring, in addition to impact resistance, great ergonomics and maximum ease of access.
L'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un conditionnement remédiant à ces inconvénients, en protégeant de façon optimale les objets fragiles qu'il contient, tout en offrant une grande facilité d'accès et une visualisation optimale du contenu.The object of the present invention is to provide packaging overcoming these drawbacks, by optimally protecting the fragile objects it contains, while offering great ease of access and optimal viewing of the content.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne dans son acception la plus générale un conditionnement pour objets fragiles de forme générale cylindrique, formé par profilé en un matériau deformable élastiquement caractérisé en ce que ledit profilé formant deux panneaux présentant chacun une alternance périodique de cellules transversales concaves semi-cylindriques s'ouvrant sur une portion inférieure à 180°, et cellules transversales globalement convexes protubérantes, les cellules transversales du premier panneau étant décalées d'un demi-pas environ par rapport aux cellules transversales du deuxième panneau de façon à ce que les bourrelets convexes protubérantes d'un panneau viennent se loger partiellement dans les cellules concaves du panneau complémentaire.To this end, the invention relates in its most general sense to packaging for fragile objects of generally cylindrical shape, formed by a profile made of an elastically deformable material characterized in that said profile forming two panels each having a periodic alternation of concave transverse cells semi-cylindrical opening on a portion less than 180 °, and transverse cells overall convex protuberances, the transverse cells of the first panel being offset by about half a step with respect to the transverse cells of the second panel so that the convex protuberant beads of a panel are partially accommodated in the concave cells of the complementary panel .
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le profilé est réalisé en une mousse de polyethylene dont la densité est comprise entre 20 et 30 kg/m3. Avantageusement, les cellules transversales convexes présentent une forme générale semi-cylindrique.According to a preferred embodiment, the profile is made of a polyethylene foam whose density is between 20 and 30 kg / m 3 . Advantageously, the convex transverse cells have a general semi-cylindrical shape.
Selon une variante, une partie au moins des cellules transversales convexes présentent un canal concave transversal, de forme semi-cylindrique s'ouvrant sur une portion inférieure à 180°, la section dudit canal concave étant inférieur à la section des cellules concaves transversales .According to a variant, at least part of the convex transverse cells have a transverse concave channel, of semi-cylindrical shape opening on a portion less than 180 °, the section of said concave channel being smaller than the section of transverse concave cells.
Selon une autre variante, éventuellement complémentaire, le profilé comprend des cellules transversales concaves d'une première section et des cellules transversales concaves d'une deuxième section au moins .According to another variant, possibly complementary, the profile comprises concave transverse cells of a first section and concave transverse cells of at least a second section.
Selon une autre variante, le profilé est intégralement recouvert d'un élastomère de polyuréthane de 1 à 2 millimètres d'épaisseur.According to another variant, the profile is completely covered with a polyurethane elastomer 1 to 2 millimeters thick.
Avantageusement, le conditionnement selon l'invention comprend en outre une enveloppe présentant un volume intérieur correspondant au volume du profilé dans la position dans laquelle les deux panneaux sont repliés l'un sur l'autre.Advantageously, the packaging according to the invention further comprises an envelope having an interior volume corresponding to the volume of the profile in the position in which the two panels are folded over one another.
Selon une première variante, l'enveloppe est formée par une feuille de matière plastique repliée pour entourer le profilé replié. Selon une deuxième variante, l'enveloppe est formée par un coffret rigide.According to a first variant, the envelope is formed by a folded plastic sheet to surround the folded profile. According to a second variant, the envelope is formed by a rigid box.
Selon une troisième variante, l'enveloppe est formée par un coffret comportant un matériau de remplissage présentant une cavité dont le volume intérieur correspond au volume extérieur du profilé.According to a third variant, the envelope is formed by a box comprising a filling material having a cavity whose internal volume corresponds to the external volume of the profile.
Avantageusement, le coffret présente deux parties réunies par une charnière, l'une au moins des parties comportant un matériau de remplissage présentant une pluralité de cavité pour le logement de matériels.Advantageously, the box has two parts joined by a hinge, at least one of the parts comprising a filling material having a plurality of cavities for housing materials.
L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'un conditionnement pour objets fragiles conforme à la revendication 1 caractérisé en ce que l'on découpe avec un fil chauffé un bloc de matériau deformable élastiquement , en déplaçant le fil selon la section du profilé.The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a packaging for fragile objects according to claim 1 characterized in that a block of elastically deformable material is cut with a heated wire, by moving the wire along the section of the profile.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le profilé est plastifié à l'aide d'un élastomère de polyuréthane de 1 à 2 millimètres d'épaisseur. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le bloc de matériau deformable élastiquement est formé par juxtaposition d'une pluralité de feuilles longitudinales d'un matériau deformable élastiquement.According to a particular embodiment, the profile is plasticized using a polyurethane elastomer 1 to 2 millimeters thick. According to a particular embodiment, the block of elastically deformable material is formed by juxtaposition of a plurality of longitudinal sheets of an elastically deformable material.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit, qui fait référence aux dessins annexés représentant des exemples non limitatifs de réalisation où : la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective du profilé en position dépliée ; la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective du profilé en position repliée ; les figures 3 et 4 représentent des vues respectivement fermée et ouverte d'une variante de réalisation d'un conditionnement selon l'invention ; la figure 5 représente une vue de dessus d'une autre variante d'un conditionnement selon l'invention, en position ouverte.The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, which refers to the appended drawings representing nonlimiting exemplary embodiments where: FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the profile in the unfolded position; 2 shows a perspective view of the profile in the folded position; Figures 3 and 4 show respectively closed and open views of an alternative embodiment of a package according to the invention; FIG. 5 represents a top view of another variant of a packaging according to the invention, in the open position.
Les figures 1 et 2 représentent des vues en perspective d'un profilé respectivement en position dépliée et en position repliée. Le profilé est formé par un bloc de mousse de polyethylene présentant des alvéoles fermées de 3 μm environ de section moyenne, d'une densité d'environ 24 kg/m3.Figures 1 and 2 show perspective views of a profile respectively in the unfolded position and in the folded position. The profile is formed by a block of polyethylene foam having closed cells of approximately 3 μm of medium section, with a density of approximately 24 kg / m 3 .
Le bloc est formé par juxtaposition de plusieurs feuilles longitudinales (1 à 5) présentant chacune une épaisseur d'environ 20 mm. Ces feuilles sont collées les unes contre les autres pour former un bloc parallélépipédique qui est ensuite découpé avec un fil chauffé pour présenter le profil représenté en figure 1. Le profilé présente deux panneaux (6, 7) complémentaires, reliés par une charnière (8).The block is formed by juxtaposition of several longitudinal sheets (1 to 5) each having a thickness of about 20 mm. These sheets are glued against each other to form a rectangular block which is then cut with a heated wire to present the profile shown in Figure 1. The profile has two complementary panels (6, 7), connected by a hinge (8) .
Le premier panneau présente une alternance de cellules concaves (9 à 17) de forme semi-cylindriques, et de bourrelets convexes (19 à 27). Les cellules concaves (9 à 17) se referment sur un angle compris entre 250 et 320 degrés, afin de maintenir par pincement des objets cylindriques logés à l'intérieur de la cellule. L'objet peut être introduit de force en raison de l'élasticité du matériau. Il est maintenu en place par les parois de la cellule, dans la mesure où sa section et voisine, et supérieure à la section de la cellule. Les protubérances (19 à 28) présentent une forme semi-cylindrique de façon à raccorder deux cellules consécutives .The first panel has alternating concave cells (9 to 17) of semi-cylindrical shape, and convex beads (19 to 27). The concave cells (9 to 17) close at an angle between 250 and 320 degrees, in order to pinch cylindrical objects housed inside the cell. The object can be forced in due to the elasticity of the material. It is held in place by the walls of the cell, insofar as its section and neighboring, and greater than the section of the cell. The protrusions (19 to 28) have a semi-cylindrical shape so as to connect two consecutive cells.
L'espacement des cellules concaves (9 à 17) est constant.The spacing of the concave cells (9 to 17) is constant.
Le deuxième panneau (6) présente trois types différents de cellules concaves, se distinguant par leur section. Ce panneau présente également des bourrelets protubérants (29 à 37) espacés avec le même pas que celui du premier panneau, avec toutefois un décalage longitudinal d'un demi-pas, de façon à ce qu'à un bourrelet de l'un des panneaux corresponde une cellule concave de l'autre panneau, comme cela est visible en figure 2.The second panel (6) presents three different types of concave cells, distinguished by their section. This panel also has protruding bulges (29 to 37) spaced with the same pitch as that of the first panel, with however a longitudinal offset of half a pitch, so that at a bulge of one of the panels corresponds to a concave cell of the other panel, as can be seen in Figure 2.
Le deuxième panneau présente une première catégorie de cellules transversales (40) dont la section est la même que celle des cellules (9 à 17) du premier panneau (7 ) .The second panel has a first category of transverse cells (40) whose section is the same as that of the cells (9 to 17) of the first panel (7).
Il présente une deuxième catégorie de cellules transversales (41 à 43) de taille intermédiaire, une troisième catégorie de petites cellules (44 à 48) et enfin des cellules de petite section (50 à 53). Ces dernières sont formées sur la crête de certains bourrelets .It presents a second category of transverse cells (41 to 43) of intermediate size, a third category of small cells (44 to 48) and finally cells of small section (50 to 53). The latter are formed on the crest of certain beads.
La section des cellules varie par exemple entre 8 et 23 mm. En position repliée représentée en figure 2, bourrelets de l'un des panneaux viennent s'appuyer sur la partie évasée des cellules du panneaux complémentaires, et contribuent ainsi au bon calage des objets fragiles logés dans les cellules transversales.The cell section varies for example between 8 and 23 mm. In the folded position shown in FIG. 2, beads of one of the panels come to bear on the flared part of the cells of the complementary panels, and thus contribute to the correct wedging of fragile objects housed in the transverse cells.
La charnière (8) est formée par une bande transversale (54) de quelques millimètres d'épaisseur, délimitée de part et d'autre par des rainures (55, 56). La bande transversale peut présenter une section en « V » de façon à conférer une bonne tenue au profilé. Les figures 3 et 4 représentent un exemple de conditionnement dans lequel le profilé est introduit dans une enveloppe souple formée par une feuille de matière plastique (60) munie d'un volet rabattable (61) . L'enveloppe vient entourer longitudinalement le profilé pour le maintenir en position fermée. L'ouverture du volet rabattable, présentant un système de fermeture de type « velcro » (nom commercial) permet de déplier le profilé. Les éléments disposés dans les cellules sont partiellement visibles, et peuvent être extraits facilement en raison de la souplesse du matériau constituant le profilé.The hinge (8) is formed by a transverse strip (54) a few millimeters thick, delimited on either side by grooves (55, 56). The transverse strip may have a “V” section so as to give the profile a good hold. Figures 3 and 4 show an example of packaging in which the profile is introduced into a flexible envelope formed by a plastic sheet (60) provided with a foldable flap (61). The envelope surrounds the profile longitudinally to keep it in the closed position. The opening of the folding flap, presenting a closing system of the “velcro” type (trade name) makes it possible to unfold the profile. The elements arranged in the cells are partially visible, and can be easily removed due to the flexibility of the material constituting the profile.
La figure 5 représente une vue de dessus d'une forme particulière de l'invention. Elle est constituée par un coffret constitué de deux parties (100, 101) articulées par une charnière (102) . En position fermée, les deux parties (100, 101) sont rabattues l'une sur l'autre pour former une boîte rigide facile à manipuler et à transporter.FIG. 5 represents a top view of a particular form of the invention. It consists of a box made up of two parts (100, 101) articulated by a hinge (102). In the closed position, the two parts (100, 101) are folded over one another to form a rigid box that is easy to handle and transport.
En position ouverte, elles forment deux volets remplis partiellement avec une mousse dans laquelle sont ménagées des cavités pour le rangement des différents équipements et produits nécessaires à une intervention d'urgence. L'une des cavité (110 à 114). L'une des cavités (115) est destinée à recevoir un profilé pour le conditionnement d'ampoules pharmaceutique.In the open position, they form two flaps partially filled with a foam in which cavities are provided for the storage of the various equipment and products necessary for an emergency intervention. One of the cavities (110 to 114). One of the cavities (115) is intended to receive a profile for the packaging of pharmaceutical ampoules.
A titre d'exemple préférentiel, le coffret représenté en figure 5 présente des logements pour recevoir les matériels suivants : des drains et sondes (103) - un manche de laryngoscope (104) un flacon de Xylocaïne (marque commerciale) (105) un nécessaire à perfusion (108) 7As a preferred example, the box shown in FIG. 5 has housings for receiving the following materials: drains and probes (103) - a laryngoscope handle (104) a bottle of Xylocaine (trademark) (105) a kit infusion (108) 7
des porte-aiguilles jetable (107) des lames de laryngoscope n°2 à n°4 (108 à 110) une lame de laryngoscope n°0 (111) un flacon d ' alcooléthylique (112) - des solutés, gants, éthétoscope (113) des insufflateur, masques, ciseaux (114) des porte-ampoules (115) des brassards et une lampe frontale (116) une bande (117) - un pulvérisateur de Trinitine (118) une fente pour flacons et lecteur de glycémie (119) une pompe de ventoline (120) .disposable needle holders (107) laryngoscope blades n ° 2 to n ° 4 (108 to 110) a laryngoscope blade n ° 0 (111) a bottle of ethyl alcohol (112) - solutes, gloves, ethethoscope ( 113) resuscitators, masks, scissors (114) of the ampoule holders (115) of the armbands and a headlamp (116) a band (117) - a Trinitine sprayer (118) a slot for bottles and blood glucose meter (119 ) a ventoline pump (120).
La trousse comprend deux blocs de mousse cylindriques dont la base est un rectangle aux bords arrondis. Dans chacun de ces blocs, identiques au départ, on découpe différents volumes ou compartiments destinés à recevoir l'ensemble du contenu. Les blocs sont recouvert d'un film de polyuréthanne, par exemple un produit connu sous le nom commercial de POLYBRON 685. Il peut être projeté, coulé ou réalisé par trempage des blocs de mousse. Ce revêtement facilite le nettoyage. En position fermée, les deux blocs sont accolés base contre base. La trousse s'apparente alors à une valise par son aspect extérieur. En position ouverte, les deux blocs sont juxtaposés et reliés par une charnière doublée en toile PVC .The kit includes two cylindrical foam blocks, the base of which is a rectangle with rounded edges. In each of these blocks, identical at the start, we cut different volumes or compartments intended to receive all of the content. The blocks are covered with a polyurethane film, for example a product known under the commercial name of POLYBRON 685. It can be sprayed, cast or produced by dipping the foam blocks. This coating facilitates cleaning. In the closed position, the two blocks are joined base against base. The kit is then similar to a suitcase by its external appearance. In the open position, the two blocks are juxtaposed and connected by a hinge lined in PVC fabric.
Une double fermeture Eclair (marque commerciale) centrale permet l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'ensemble. La surface extérieur peut être recouverte d'une housse en toile PVC. La housse est détachable, elle possède 4 poignées : deux poignées centrales sur la face antérieure et une sur chaque base latérale.A central double zipper (brand) allows the opening and closing of the whole. The outer surface can be covered with a PVC canvas cover. The cover is detachable, it has 4 handles: two central handles on the front and one on each side base.
Les éléments fragiles sont isolés dans des compartiments spécifiques et protégés par une épaisseur de 2 à 3 centimètres de mousse alvéolée.The fragile elements are insulated in specific compartments and protected by a thickness of 2 to 3 centimeters of cellular foam.
